therapy

acrylic on paper, 12x16

Needing to get out of the house, I walked down the street to the antique shops that are right around the corner from my house and did some urban sketching.

Pencil/Colored Pencils Drawing

Acrylic, glitter, ink, fabric. My daughter wanted a picture of one of her favourite flowers, the gerbera to fit into a new picture frame.

Pen and ink on paper

Doing some drawing practice and thought I'd start with a legend. It also served as therapy for the series finale.

2nd attempt at a portrait

One of the scariest characters I've ever seen. The most frightening of the vampires from the movie "Fright Night" (1985). I had to draw her as a form of therapy. Thumbs-up for the art department on that movie! If she had had white eyes instead of the red eyes in the movie, I would've been irreparably damaged! :) (Pencil on paper, size A4).

Midnight flavoured motivation.

An ode to the seas, sailing and other malarkey relating to that theme.

For things that go bump in the night (and day).

Rainy day creative goings-on.

Breaking into July the way I know best.

ADDITIONAL THERAPY

Fun little fact: The anglerfish belongs to the teleost order known as Lophiiformes. See what I did here?

Once the curve flattens and we can all go about our usual businesses without potentially killing one another, let’s not forget all the good habits and so on we’ve picked up from staying the feck at home! Some sort of a summer will come, rest assured.

NEEDED EXTRA THERAPY ON THIS ONE....

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

Pencil sketch with colored pencil on sketch paper. I inadvertently sprayed this piece with spray adhesive before spraying down again with fixative, then added the color pencil. I thought it lost at first, but it turned out well in the end. The dancing mushrooms are there for the poor fairy's therapy after her harrowing ordeal.

Split Sally & Jack nightmare before christmas

More often than not, music defines where my lines go.

Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...
