king

I made a set of mini affirmation cards, with this lino print, for a friend.

Multiple mini lino prints, that I may cut into individual pieces.

I tease my friend all the time about this.

More little lino prints. I added another acorn and a leaf. I may add more leaves.

Lino cut of a friend's initial.

A practice run of a tiny lino cut I've just made. It's about the size of a 2 pence piece. I'm playing around with colours.

I always start packing by packing my books. For larger ones I love using twine. Moving soon. So tiring! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvpt_F0udl8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

When your only available medium is a random gel pen.

Mini lino print based on the folklore of Margaret Read.

A unicorn perches on an outcropping over looking a waterfall in this pen and ink coloring page.

Having younger siblings is 50% about having spoiled rotten playmates and 50% about making sure those little morons dont accidentaly kill themselves. Border collies are so hard to draw antropomorph! Ever noticed how they most of the time keep their head lover than the bum?

Looking through a book about cats and studying their body language. Does this look like the right mix of realism and whimsy?

This mixed media piece is what I call a Monday to Monday piece. At the start of each week while working on other pieces I often times have left over paint or want to see how something works out before I put it on the main piece I’m working on so I use a piece of heavy weight paper to test all that on and just keep adding to it through out the week. It also gives me a space to just make whatever I want if I need a break from the main pieces I’m working on.

Doodling of the Day

In ANU museum in Tel Aviv. The Costume of the King ( I don't know which king, I couldn't read the plaque) by Leon Bakst was without a person inside. I made him up. So now it is a costume of a dancing King. https://www.instagram.com/p/CthTwxZJjVY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Challenged myself to make a digital doodle everyday for the month of May to get more comfortable working digitally.

easy way to walk the dog and both get a bit of exercise.

I designed this house. It has a really pretty blue exterior, and it has a slight curve to it that gives it a more warm and inviting feel. I like how the walkway kind of curves into the stairs and transitions back into the walkway before arriving at the front door. I like that there’s plenty of yard space with some really nice landscaping. The birds can even come and get a birdbath. I thought that was really cute. I used the multicolored stones to add detail for a more distinguished look. The hedges are neatly cut in a square and follows along side of the house. Looking through those gorgeous windows you can see the house is fully furnished. There are some really pretty chandeliers in there that adds character. There’s a stairway that leads to another level of the house as well. I love how there’s a touch of yellow that highlights the points on the rooftop. Furthermore, the swing in the backyard adds an inviting feel to the scenery. Also, it’s a nice place to sit and enjoy the view.
