Hello, my name is Derek Lowes,
and I'm a doodle addict. Toronto, Ontario Canada

A guy that draws and paints a lot. I love fountain pens, inks, watercolours and whatever else isn't boring right now. My art veers a lot of different places and can be somewhat directionless. I do a lot of urban sketching and try hard not to pre-sketch most things - but if I have a plan the pencils usually come out at first.

I specialize in illustration, mixed media, painting, pen and ink, whatever you need.

Impalla, Wart Hog and Topi is a strange painting of a young doll like female puppet head with large intimidating eyes. The scary doll head puppet looks like a frozen predator. Her expression almost ferrel but still oddly innocent at the same time. I chose the vintage storybook background based on the mottled rich tones of the paper itself and the fact that the title refers to prey and predators in Africa. It is an excerpt from an old African adventure story. I love the arresting expression and bright colours of this painting. She has great stopping power and evokes all kinds of emotions.

One of my favourite artists and directors.

The Queer Old Man is a solid wood puppet head created more than 50 years ago if not more. The eyes of the character are a radiant blue and the carved structure of the face is expressive and bold.
