"Ice fetters". Oil on Linen 40 x 60 cm.

I was always painting dogs, but painted people for the first time in a while.

Mirrors. Shadows. Perception of self. What should have been. Could have been. Still is.

A data dump of emotion and frustration.

My daughter wanted a painting of a forest. This took me two weeks with acrylics.

"Through the forest and fog". Oil on Linen 30 x 40 cm.

I want to be inside the raindrop. I want know it. Feel it. Be it. Close containment. Single purpose One direction.  The rush. The thrill. Careening towards the earth. Would be a death race. But the fall is the journey. The crash. The release. Is just the beginning.

An idea I had, to couple semi-realistic versions of the adult Mario characters with the Street Fighter 3rd Strike character select screen.

We all see the world through a different lens. What I see, and express is different then what you will see. Your background is different. Your experiences are different. I know what I see. What about you?

Since I’m new I decided I would update something that shows kinda who I am! :) I made this in 2019 for my art class where we had to make a collage with drawings and words to describe myself. I love the way it turned out so it is for the first page in my current sketchbook.

Inktober 2020, Day 13: "Dune". After pondering for a while, whether I should come up with something surprising, I decided to go with what for me is the obvious association, the sci-fi book. I based it on this illustration of a sandworm (https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Sandworm?file=Dune-sandworm.jpg) by Nathan Rosario. It’s not meant to promote the now postponed new movie, but rather based on the books by Frank Herbert, which I loved as a teenager. Brushpens and posca markers on coloured A4, this time with an acrylic underpainting (falling back on my painterly ways). “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
