OKAT's Faves

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

For day 15 the inktober word was weak so I decided to approach the subject of hunting for trophies. It is not the animal that's weak it's the human that's cruel. A lot of species become endangered because of our need to kill. We should love and protect all the animals, not put them on walls (real or virtual) only for our pleasure and ego.

Not a terribly good piece, but I had fun drawing it. It is a take on the Spirit of '76, originally painted by Archibald Willard. I did it upon request, but I did not charge anything. I think it would have been better in color.

Working on this t-shirt design for Squad19. It started as a doodle in my sketchbook. Follow my Instagram for more pics.

The fall lasted 3 days this year... this global warming is going to end the planet as we know it.

Baby, it’s cold outside.

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

We live in such a busy world. Everyone’s walking in a fast pace. But I think it’s okay to stop for a moment and breathe.

03/20 20 days, 20 films that made an impact on me. No title, no comment, just a picture. In my case, a drawing. Daily drawing #621 #imaginarythinking #illustration #portraitillustration

Art studio moments

I'm trying some new techniques out. Not sure I like either of them, particularly, but one has to try occasionally.
