I had a wonderful time creating this commision for a Kansas City Personalities wall mural installed in a downtown KC apartment building. The wall measures roughly 12’ x 20’. These were all hand drawn graphite and charcoal drawings that I scanned into my mac and delivered digitally. The file was then enlarged and applied to the wall surface.
This was so enjoyable to do. Hand drawn using black 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners on A4 medium cartridge paper. 22.5 hours of work and made my eyes hurt!
When I was planning this pattern I really wanted it to have a dark background. I built it in photoshop using hand drawn marker flowers but when I try to place them on a dark background it looks ridiculous!
Ive been experimenting with various ways to sell my artwork, I want away from mass produced reproductions of my artwork on clothing and find a middle ground where people get original artwork that can also be affordable and functional.
Hand drawn line work then digitally colored. Part of a weekly prompt challenge from my local art shop. The character is loosley based on a well know japanese octopus character.
Sketchbook page from a few days ago. One of my rules for this sketchbook is that all entries have to be full page spreads of intricate drawing studies. All drawn freehand! Drawin’ err day over here!
Hand drawn abstract wall art in black ink on ultra white background. Inspired by the layering of strata across millennium while visiting the Grand Canyon.
Hand drawn abstract wall art resembling uniform cut stained glass, representing horizontal rain. Inspired by a storm when in St. Lucia where the rain was hitting us sideways with great force.
