Graphite drawing

Graphite drawing inspired by a photo of a shop in Venice, but with my own cats.

Mechanical pencil, jotter paper

A thought I've been having lately- To make peace without forgiveness, I do it for my own mind, my own future, and you need nothing from me too.

This is a section of a very large drawing. The entire drawing was a massive doodle that could be used in a children's book one day.

Westworld. Lockdown series no.3! Mixed media.

One of my favourite series. I'm trying to strike the right balance between the abstract and the realism, and I think I try to do that through my use of colours. It's the most rewarding feeling when you use unexpected colours and they come together somehow! Acrylics, watercolour pens and posca markers.

Inktober drawing.

Mixed media drawing of a genius loci - the protective spirit of a place. Part of an upcoming series for prints, cards, and stuff!

Technic: hybrid media (graphite, colored pencils and SketchBook Pro).

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

Still reeling from that fire; totally unnecessary. Cover and inside illustration from my book, The Moth and the Sun.

A few drawings/paintings from my class this week. I like to work alongside my students.

But first coffee

It's ok to not make sense. It's ok to not follow a pattern. It's ok to be the odd one out. Life is too beautiful, too amazing, to eccentric, too weird to fit inside someone else's tiny little box of an opinion about you. Break free out of that and live your life on your terms.

Experimenting today with an oil transfer drawing technique. The red and purple lines are oil drawn/transferred to hot press 140 pound watercolor paper with watercolor applied. The oil resists the watercolor.
