art

Just some time wasters I did. I would explain it, but it would require me to go into way too much comic nerd information. Its essentially a comic character that I redesigned (no its not the Joker). I really love concept art, and character design. I'm really not good at it, but I delve into it periodically for fun.

Boxed & Heart: daily art 8

"Peace Frog" by Barrie J Davies 2018, mixed media on canvas, Unframed, 60cm x 100cm.

I’m fascinated in how something may make you feel. For instance, I’m deeply moved by images of outer space from the Hubble space telescope, but I do not try to recreate those photographs in my work. What does not exist in those photos, is how they may make us feel. This is why you won’t see any “realism” in my art. When we send astronauts to space, they can discuss factually what is happening, but what truly moves human beings is when astronauts describe how they felt while they were there. So, I choose to express how I feel, as opposed to illustrate what I see.

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

Something all over the shop.

Another print I did. Get ready, I'm getting close to uploading my worthless doodles rather than finished pieces I've actually worked on.

A poster I made for my design class, done completely in Illustrator.

Sunday doodles.

why not

A few years ago, I noticed a new habit of doodling faerie folks who seemed to exude off of the page. They look very doodle-y but they have ‘presence’, at the same time. I don’t know if that comes across to anyone else, but it does for me so I find them interesting. They each have part of a story that they want me to tell ... Here are five of many.

So, for the new Fantastic Beasts movie, I came up with an idea to draw Newt, and so I did
