art

I felt inspired to paint a landscape with a lot of ice across calm water and came up with an arctic landscape.

Whales in space yet again, because why ever not?

Sharks went a-hauntin'...

A pokefusion of the 2 adorable Pokémon, growlithe and Pikachu

Where did Monday go indeed...

...of a sort.

And that wraps things up with my current sketchbook! New one incoming shortly...

Sketchbook party.

Acrylic on wood

Shark time again. :-)

Moon and whale combo time!

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

My girlfriend's words inspired this one, for which I’m forever grateful! :-P :-D

Time and space and wizarding things.

New Washi tape time!

Named after a malapropism of my doing, one that makes my girlfriend snigger like mad it seems. :-P

Bob the Drag Queen is a legendary performer and personality. She is one of my favorite people. I kept the composition simple to focus on shading and facial dimensions. I paid close attention to not lightening her skin tone and respecting her heritage but also contrasting the gold dress and blue background.

A bit of art therapy from this time last week after an overheated and, at times, shit-tacular day at work = the best kind of therapy.

Before I got into digital painting, I was putting together digital collages. I love digital collages, but most of them are a bit too literal/pop art for me. No diss on pop art; I create a lot in that style. But, I wanted to make a smoother, more blended collage for my profile pic.

Yet more Washi tape has been acquired!

Inspired by a recent experience I had during a trip to the bank, and just reflection on “masks” we wear in general I suppose.

Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

It totally bypassed my mind that last night I would be off to see Gary Numan with my uncle. The perks of having both an over-active work life and a social one too...

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

Phew! What a fortnight it's been here. Been engaging more in my photography as of late, but the day-job's had me on 'go' mode all Easter quite frankly. Thank the maker for those moments to yourself when you can just.. well, indulge really.
