Dream of the Yellow Chrysanthemum from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. I was hiding behind the window aiming my air gun at a squirrel on a roof in the distance. I had been taking aim for two hours. But when I finally shot, full of confidence, the steel pellet zinged right into Old Jiang's arm. God knows why I lost my mind at the crucial moment, I was born with the impulsive personality. Immediately he jumped up and dashed into the room, shouting, "Murder! Murder!" I was totally embarrassed.

I drew this after listening to some Elton John.

Creepy dude, listening to music.

Another colored pencil drawing I made for my niece. She drew an orange heart on it.This was before I did the Rainbow Dash one, I feel I really improved.

DRAWING

My first try of lino cut

Traditional medium, free-handed

I am amazed summer after summer seeing this tree and garden grow. I started this with a blue background and a black layer that I punched through, and from there, I painted layer by layer from the back to the front. I like the realism I got, but I kept to a painterly feel using oil brushes.

From sketch to colorful drawing. Created for #thinkoutoftheboxdrawing art challenge. Have a lovely weekend!

TWO STORE FRONTS ON GINGERBREAD MAIN STREET

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

The Gloomy Mood of Ah Mei on a Sunny Day from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. Da-Gou is playing with firecrackers at the other side of the yard. He inserts one into a hole in the tree and sticks out his big hips as he bends over to light it. His bottom is huge, like his father's. "Hey," I call. "Are you crazy? Can't you stop shooting those things?" https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLF34POeB-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Coloured pencils and brush pen. Original is A3.

My son had an assignment of creating a poster to remind people of this fun fact to reduce the number of unwanted animals being released into the wild or onto the streets. This was my impression.

My girlfriend's words inspired this one, for which I’m forever grateful! :-P :-D

WELL, I 'HAD' TO ADD TO HER!

Here is my aliensona, V!

I wanted to capture an introspective feeling and show the Detroit River's expansiveness. I went with a late summer sunset vibe with lots of warm pinks and cool blues.

As above so below... I drew this purple tree with Arteza colouring pencils, blended with pencil blending medium. A5 format, grey Fabriano pastel paper.

My average 8-9 hour slumber in a nutshell! It's a miracle I function, quite honestly.

Four eyes are just better. Everyone can see.

My character re-sporting her old sneaker/shoes. I say that cause this wasn't the first time I've drawn her in a pair of shoes.

Feeling anxious and flight-y... abstract background in acrylic inks to contrast with jewel-like dragonfly. Inks, Posca markers, Micron pens (for wings), Prismacolor colored pencils.

I told myself, weeks ago that i would be post two or three times a week but here I am posting after a month of nothing. I have been painting alot more, but i finally completed something and am ready to post it. I decided flowers because i like flowers. I did a life vs. death kind of thing. I was hesitant about painting these because i was thinking to myself do i like flowers because i like them or because im a women and society norms tell me to? I know it sounds stupid but its these kind of thoughts that stop me from doing things i enjoy or want to do in life. Thoughts?

Shea Coulee is an amazing performer and personality. Her recent work and Instagram feed were the inspiration for this piece. Each layer is digitally painted, but I love the overall screen print feel.
