Arthur Koestler's Faves

Safety

Influenced by the Japanese art style.

Architectural subjects are not my penchant....but this is a pen line drawing of our house which I did a few weeks ago near the beginning of the "stay at home" phase of our lives. Seemed a fitting subject. Just a couple of micron pens on a smooth surfaced paper.

This piece was made only by using sharpies and then red paint. I was inspired by Julia Hill`s beautiful work to create this.

He's either a blue Dalmatian, or a white Labrador who's messed around with blue paint...

I decided to illustrate this Lockdown Map to add a bit of humour to a distressing time

Drew myself overtaken by a symbiote

Lockdown has given us all far too much time to think

After struggling with horse anatomy from photos, I finally decided to search for white horses, figuring that I would be able to see details more easily than on darker photos. It worked out well, the details were much more discernible.

Just a quick color pencil sketch. I haven't done landscape in a while. It's nice to be outside.

Experimenting with digital inks

Son of a Sun. Ink & watercolor on 5"x5" Arches cold press.

Drawn in about 30 min for my Grandfather w/ Parkinson's Disease. He absolutely loves these majestic cats. What better than to have a resting one sitting next to you while resting yourself.

Assorted floral textile designs.
