life

Red Admiral of the Fleet :3 this was a toughie, for trying to find a genuine admirals hat and symbol that wasnt fancy dress! Eventually traced the real thing by finding actual people wearing their hats

The Green hairstreak. Couldnt decided between backgrounds, after a bunch of fun with a hair extension and paint... and getting paint on the walls, floor, desk, tv screen, laptop, bed, Joey the lot

The best that I know in summer is cottage life in Finland countryside. This is the image from the lakeside. Angling on a pier in perfect style. The color of the fishing hat and waterlily make a perfect match.

butter # i give up counting: small tortoiseshell

Butterfly # ?? : The Swallowtail this was hard! Firstly trying to illustrate a swallowtail without decapitating a poor swallow... then trying to fit these two together. More paint splatter effect for a bit of zing

Butter #?? , The Comma. Now im losing count of these already! COming tomorrow is a different version of this with a colourful background, not deciding between the two and only being aloud one image a dayThis one shows 3 commas inYin and Yang harmony

Butterfly #4 of the literal butterfly project

Part of a personal side project for an illustrated calendar of Literal Butterflies.

Pen and ink.

I love Pen and Ink Doodles and this was done to make me escape from what was going on in my life at the time - It works.

I'm so glad I drew this creepy thing, but I'm hoping like heck to never meet in real life.

Pencil Sketch

Just doodling ... out came a proliferation of blue leaves.

Doodling has become an essential part of new beginnings in my life. The blank page is encouraging unplanned art that surprises me and pushes me in new directions. This piece speaks to me of fresh starts and flowing into the future full of change and magical possibilities.

Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

A sketch from life of a wandering Man exploiting his feline companion for coins and dollars. The Cat was dressed in a sweater and scarf.

First attempt at still life watercolor painting

Last weeks life drawing. Watercolour on paper, A3, 30 minute pose

My sketchbook spread. This is actually a moleskin watercolor album which I'm mostly using to draw from life. This is sharp and spiky versus soft and fluffy. The models were the two of my house plants, and aim was a texture and light study.

My first doodle @ doodle addicts. Found 5 - 15 minutes several times each day of 4 days...that's life for now. I'm far from complaining.

All you have to do is lift your chin up to encounter the most fascinating things in life. What would it take to lift up your chin and talk to the person sitting right next to you. I fear that one day we will forget the very essence of being a human.

Monet is one of my favorite artists. Seeng is art in real life ose just so amazing I felt i.have to create something on my own...

"Life will vaporize your daydream." ~ A blackout poem from a recycled page of Dealing with Blue, a YA romance.

I took my drawings out into the wild for some glamour shots. I got busted crawling through a flower garden doing so, but the woman was fine with it. I gave her this bunny.

Life is a book, and those who do not travel, read only one page!
