More world speculating again...

Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...

Sometimes I come home and I have to express myself, for better or worse. I am an outsider both in art and in my personal life. Nature of my illness.

I tried to use my imagination for this, but I had to fall back on photo reference, to finish it. THe problem with the composition is I did not use a background colour. I did this about 3 years ago. Their are mountains in the background.

I think I will move onto the face next, as the face is by far the hardest element in the figure to get right.

I am gaining an interest in figure drawing from the imagination. Drawing a figure is like craving a away at a block of granit. You make many atempts to get the figure right.

I did these a long time ago. Some of the first portraits I ever did.The origionals that I used for reference are by an Italian artist.

This dipicts our troubled relationship with nature.

Man compared to nature. Inspired from the Irish countryside.

Inspired by the landscape of Cars Land and named for the Cozy Cone Hotel. If you now, you know.

Been aching to draw one of these for a while now! Can’t knock goblin sharks, that’s for sure.

Image from my Splash Series, created with the Procreate app, using the symmetry tool.

Based on a photograph of a hibiscus flower enjoying its last day in the garden before being brought back home before the Canadian fall and winter. I imported the photo in Procreate and the rest is history.

Imitation of medieval illuminated manuscript in mixed media, having fun with my surname "Thorn".

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

More toffee tinted, if anything.

USA Titanium HB2 Soft Pencil on Moleskin Lined Notebook. Trying my "hand" at some anatomy drawing

Midnight madness/fun with artwork titles...

Never dumb down for the dumbed down folks.

Surreal folks in surreal worlds.

Lockdown makes some of us forget what good times were like before the coronavirus reared it's nasty little head, so in response we dig down into our brains for times that really mattered.

In a funk, but getting out of it quick.

The name for this piece comes from a billboard I noticed as I was heading home from a shopping trip not too long ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Life in lockdown (needless to say) brings with it plenty of time for us all to learn and get creative in whatever way works best..

Something different in the form of Pac-Man's long lost brother...

As it says!
