art

I know this isn't an elaborate piece and I know I've posted different cards before, but I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy holidays! I hope everyone is doing well and can enjoy the time left in 2020. Thank you for being so supportive of my art, and for sharing some of the most incredible art I've ever seen!

Famous artists today...what would Picasso be doing?

I am quite proud of this one because it's my first attempt at lineless art featuring Sid from Hey Arnold

Watercolour and acrylic paint on Strathmore paper

Forever my favorite since Pikemon Silver. He has a special place in my heart (and soon in my skin as a Tattoo)

Sea creatures galore/business as usual.

Taking inspiration I got from a friend’s art exhibition and getting it put down onto paper at last!

Changes afoot, perhaps?

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk.

Oh boy, markers (NOT a go-to), least favorite color, and a subject that isn’t on my radar. This was a hard one what with 3 negatives going for it. But, hey, it’s a challenge, right? Choosing a subject came first….we have a house full of Indonesian masks and sculptures. (My husband studied gamelon music in Indonesia.) Garuda, the “mount” of Vishnu and popular with Balinese artists seemed a good choice, esp. since he can be green, red, yellow or orange. I rarely choose yellow/orange for anything---artwork, décor, clothing...though I do have a soft spot for sunflowers. First I drew a bunch of images based on one of our wooden Garuda sculptures and then made a simplified marking pen outline and colored it with markers.

Dabbling in something new and experimental(ish) because, why not?

My process in a nutshell, more or less!

While Ginger Fox (Gfox) is still my mascot, I made this one for my Sheezy Art gallery.

Lino cut candle print for Imbolc 2024.

I was actually reminiscing about my wannabe-goth days. I still find a lot of beauty in the dark & macabre

These old Toronto Streetcars are now out of commission so I captured a sketch of it on Queen Street West

Start of a series of drawings exploring pattern. The more Garish the better :)

Lindsey's prompt: Pepe le Pew. In honor of our dog getting skunked for the first time this morning

A fairly special one for me this week, as today’s post is inspired by what would have been the time of Beltane celebrations. As it is, we celebrated at home in our own little ways, and in the case of myself indulging in my usual habits! Drinking and of course drawing, the usual stuff...
