Collage time again!

Kierkegaard said we undersand life by looking back, but we must live life forward. On a trip to the Chicago Art Institute with a group of students, I penned the students behind me and then I penned the rapidly moving images I saw through the front window of the bus . I still do not understand life except that perhaps it is full of energy and art and love.

And into July we are, at last!

Henry was 5 when he created this. The color is a result of limited choices in chalk.

Observation of people and ideas

When the beautiful waitress bent down to pick up a napkin, I saw this..

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

New sketchbook time :)

The perfect date does exist - but you have to put up with his rascally pets!

No peaking, and the experience is more valuable than the product.

He was aggressive.

Enjoy the little things.

Shark time again.

I'm usually not smiling like this in the morning, I used a reference photo.

Explored texture for shading in this line art. It gives an interesting look. I like my meteor bonking the moon.

Watercolor and pen

This was for an art submission over at MightCould Studios, link in my bio. This week they asked us to draw a Sanrio character and I chose the frog Kerropi, hopefully thats spelled right.

As we venture out again...

I was at the beach last week and did a lot of flower drawings. Here is one I'm trying to work out.

Picking on trumpet players now...
