collage

As we approach the end of winter, who knows where we’ll end up next? Still cautiously optimistic here... As long as there’s stuff to inspire us all, it can’t be all that bad?

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

I went back and fixed this one up. I added a collage background using scrapbook paper tweaked some minor things. Its still not perfect but I'm just now entering the intermediate level of mixed media and whimsical art. Canson paper, acrylic matte paints, and watercolor used.

Commission drawing by TomHeye. This was a surprise present by the partner to celebrate the clients life.

Mixed media. Whimsical. Simple collage on canson paper. Duckduckgo Reference used for Snow White painting.

Getting back to hand drawing with one of my favourites, pen

Swimming in a musical landscape, as you do.

Narwhals swimming in mandala flavoured pools. Same methods, new frontiers I'm guessing?

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

Playing around with anagram generators for inspiration this time around, as you do.

Was itching to play along with the “Draw Me A Robot” challenge for a while now! Not much I can say about this, pretty spontaneous to say the least... Definitely wanted to add some sort of low fidelity edge to things though.

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

A little experiment with composite realism of sorts.

New year, similar kind of tricks. Hope it’s treating you all well so far!

Various days for Inktober 2020. Coral, dizzy, and rip and dig. I had fun detailing different monsters. Dizzy is a cross between a siren and wraith, rip and dig can survive in extreme climates and hide underground for years until it's time to Fred.

My friend did a fanart collage. I did Shadow Weaver.

Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

Collage artwork based of Chris Mars paintings

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

This is a dedication collage I made to the late Brian Froud. I made this piece for my wife and everybody seems to want it.

I thought I’d recycle my wasted medicine packets and put them to use on this prompt.

This is a large framed collage I made in inspiration of Stranger Things.

Two older works, the first one is definitely one of my favorites. I'm not a big collage person, but I do enjoy browsing random books with patterns and chopping them up.

Paint, drawing, magazine, cut paper; sealed with gloss medium on paper.
