tea

Working as a team those eyes are.

The fight which happens in everyone's mind at some point. To go beyond the comfort zone. That can be whatever you are ignoring but which is going to expand you It can completely tear you apart but eventually you'll be in peace with it.

3 hours later!! Totally recommend “Within the Wires” to listen to while painting.

I'm not sure how this happened, And neither is this peep: A beach vacation for his wife That he bought on the cheap. He wanted to surprise her, So this is what he got. Turns out his wife prefers a beach With water over not.

He sits up in his teacup with his hands wrapped 'round a porg, Thinking up new ways to join forces with the Borg. To eradicate the Rebels by infecting them with spores, And assimilate the hive mind to become one with the Force.

Did these as thank yous for my son’s preschool teachers. They loved them and I had fun making them.

Momento Mori...

"You think your car's cool? Well mine is better than yours. My car is so fly it doesn't even have doors. You can't show ME up - the girlies know what's up, When they see me roll up in my Speedy Teacup."

I'll tell you what's up... It's your hot lovah in a teacup. With a tattoo on his thigh because he's the kinda guy who will love you 'til the sun's up.

Andy Dooley teaches to "enjoy the meantime" when struggling in life or working toward a goal. It's extremely helpful! So today I'm making a point to enjoy the little flowers in my yard.

This was a bird study for a painting. The customer loved it so much that they wanted the drawing instead. That suits me fine. In the end it is what the customer wants that really counts.

Finished this up. Overall happy with how it turned out. Ramsey left the team this summer after 10 years.

Had some fun doing some crosshatching. Wanted to see if it would give the trees more texture instead of just leaving it blank.

In-progress. This is the final season for Aaron Ramsey as an Arsenal player. I put this compilation of images over his years with the team. Each one conveys something a bit different. The top image is a gesture to the fans. The middle is indicative of the emotion of playing. The lower is him in action.

This is a much older concept that I never really finished. Took place long before my editing game was any good.

Last one of this series. Fun little project for the end of the week!

White ink on black paper instead of black ink on white paper.

Today, April 23 is Cherry Cheesecake Day and Picnic Day.

hahaaaa... sad times... I had a friend who had recently shot himself, and while everyone else with this prompt drew birthday parties and other kinds of happy surprises, I drew this, you can only imagine how concerned my art teacher was. Also, the lack of sleep I had was wearing on me, I spelled surprise wrong so I had to go on paint and correct it. It was the beginning of the school year and my friend had killed himself just at the end of summer break, when I was so busy having fun in the sun, it was the most surprising event I have experienced. So I tried to paint a beautiful scene with bright colors with a depressing scenario so that it wouldn't really match up... aka surprise.
