was

Had to find a way to distract myself from current affairs right now... not going to lie.

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

This painting is based on the original Dream of Nimue by mixed media artist Ida Andersen Lang. I tried to do it Justice but my paper was terrible and could not withstand many mediums. Watercolor, colored pencils, pastel, gloss varnish, on mixed media paper.

My son had an assignment of creating a poster to remind people of this fun fact to reduce the number of unwanted animals being released into the wild or onto the streets. This was my impression.

My girlfriend's words inspired this one, for which I’m forever grateful! :-P :-D

Did a few sketches

This birdie was created using sprayza blow pens and wax twisters. Fun!

My average 8-9 hour slumber in a nutshell! It's a miracle I function, quite honestly.

My character re-sporting her old sneaker/shoes. I say that cause this wasn't the first time I've drawn her in a pair of shoes.

I told myself, weeks ago that i would be post two or three times a week but here I am posting after a month of nothing. I have been painting alot more, but i finally completed something and am ready to post it. I decided flowers because i like flowers. I did a life vs. death kind of thing. I was hesitant about painting these because i was thinking to myself do i like flowers because i like them or because im a women and society norms tell me to? I know it sounds stupid but its these kind of thoughts that stop me from doing things i enjoy or want to do in life. Thoughts?

Spooky whale time! And a touch of Mark Lanegan flavoured listening material also...

I thought I'd ruined this, as I was adjusting the highlights, but then it suddenly came good.

I never knew doodle bombing was a thing until I joined Doodle Addicts. I recently got Sketchbook for iPad. Started playing with the photo import feature and began doodling over the image. I picked a photo that would make me happy every time I opened the file.

Watching a thunder storm roll in over the north cascades, it was super cool standing on the edge... For a little bit it was warm and sunny, and also hailing at the same time

This was an absolute sketch for fun that I decided to paint.

Time and space and wizarding things.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to color his because the sketch was so good but I'm so glad I did :)

Helloou! my mum and I did a fun design in the train. She said she wanted me to design a little friend that represents her. She wanted it to have fun green hair and a pink bag. She told me what the design would look like and i sketched it out. Then we designed a little friend that represents my dad. My mum said that showing the tomatoes are really important, because he loves to take care of the tomatoes in the garden. Some time later I decided i wanted to draw the two little friends enjoying a warm day together. Drawing it was soso much fun. I absolutly wish you a goood day!

Back at it...

New Washi tape time!

Old man in a cosy coat walking down the street looking suspicious.

Watercolour and coloured pencil on watercolour paper. Usually I paint on watercolour paper that costs about 3$ for a pad with 10 sheets. This was the first time I painted on paper that costs about 1$ per sheet. And yes, it DOES make a difference. :D

Named after a malapropism of my doing, one that makes my girlfriend snigger like mad it seems. :-P

Music is something that comforts me. And this song is my favorite of all. I drew everything except for the song logo. The background was the hardest to draw. I hope you guys like it!!

My name is Jenny Lebedev. I am a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator, Making painting on canvas and digital platform, video, photography, drawing. Graduate of the Department of Multidisciplinary Art at Shenkar. I recently finished illustrating the second children's book. I also accept commission projects and work with the client in close communication. I make digital art work for postcards, prints, incl. producing prints. In the field of art I deal with conceptual art on the topics of "nothingness" and the existing emptiness, awareness of the air. When I was a little girl I was drawing postcards and during holidays I was selling them to the neighbors for half a shekel. At home my family always appreciated my creativity. Because of this when I moved to Israel, I decided on an art degree where I had the freedom to try different kinds of art. I became a painter and my final exhibition at Shenkar College was a plumbing work with sculpture and dio. Nowadays I am more involved in digital painting and specializing mainly in illustration and design. I take my inspiration from nature because it has an amazing integrity. But of course a simple emphasis will make most people notice it better.

Getting by, as per usual...

Everyday with Aspergers is a storm of overwhelm - some good, some bad, and some painful. This was an "intuitive" painting with tons of layers, and no preplanning (what?!). I used acrylic paints, post markers, and pencils - I think it shows the exhaustion and overstimulation really well.

That was a wild night with loud techno sound at a workspace. I heard this track and painted and printed this linocut with the music.

It was a really slow day at work, so slow that I had enough time to draw this on a sticky note with little to no interruptions. This was also inspired by a curated gallery on here called "Fun with Fungi".

THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE BALLOON by Ben Loory. "That night the mother had a terrible dream. In the dream, Annie was a balloon. She floated up out of her bed and through the open window and away across the sky toward the moon." https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzLv_COUat/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
