I’m back from life drawing hiatus and this time I went to the session held at the Cafe El Paso on Old Street. I liked that the directions to get there said it was “opposite a back massage place with a big spine fixed on the wall.” Hannah was our lovely model; I did some nice pen cyborg looking...
This week I went back to the Cafe El Paso for another life drawing session. Having the urge to try something new this time, I thought about drawing white on black, but then I didn’t have time to pick up materials so I took the cheapy color pencils I bought at Argos last Christmas, thinking they...
It was only a matter of time before Maribel Made, made its way into the diy web printing services out there, and Zazzle came to be easy and fast for publishing the new Mars Monkey illustrations I created based on the Mars Sock Monkeys soft toy product line (see my post, Sock monkeys + knitted...
I had time today to do another watercolor.
I couldn't decide who should be eating such an obscene amount of ice cream (it is national ice cream month, don't you know?), so went for little girl and hairy monster because I'm fond of drawing both. You can decide which you prefer. These were done with acrylic paint, black ink and some brown...
I just received word that Pressure Printing released the long awaited project by Audrey Kawasaki called Okimiyage (Menaing - 1. A Parting Gift or 2. Remembrance). Individually signed, numbered, and hand colored in pencil by Audrey - it is such a nice gift for our first anniversary. Visit Pressure...
I got this book out from the library yesterday and have been thoughly inspired by it. Here are some of my sketch book pages. And here's painting inspired by the floral designs on art deco cosmetic packaging.
Ok so my wife is a very talented artist and I've finally been able to convince her to put her awesome work on the web to give her stuff some exposure. I couldn't wait to give her portfolio a plug here on my vox.. I met my wife on the internet, and one of the things that caught my eye about her...
I got the opportunity to design a t-shirt for the stunt and fight teams on the new Wolverine movie. After a few revisions and some back and forth communication the design wound up being pretty solid. Approx 300 t-shirts were produced and a limited run of hoodies. Here's the design. And here's the...
Symmetry, duality, the hemispheres of the brain and of the earth. The concept of two sides of something fascinates...
This evening I made some collages with circles of coloured paper from my horde. I cut the circles with a craft hole punch and just experimented with overlapping them.
I'm pretty busy at the moment with commissions and sewing up rabbits ready for my shop re-opening, but I like to take time to do little things like this to stop mye going complete insane. The idea is pretty much stolen from Photojojo (oh, how I love thee), but I used doubled side sticky tape not...
Once upon a time I used to do fashion illustrations, in fact, quite a few to the point of it being silly. Some even got published in an Italian fashion magazine while I was in college. I also taught it for a while, despite not knowing a damn thing about sewing, and I'm still prone to stitching the...
:) More about it here.
Sourly eating sour cherry in a sour cherry tree, of course. Made with acrylic paint and cut up sweet wrappers on brown paper.
Well its like the commercial, only I wasn't taking a bath.. lol. Its what Adobe Illustrator does for me when I have a few hours to mess around with stuff. Not that this particular image took that long! Just what I ended up with lol. Anyway.. hope you like it, I dunno what I'll name him but I think...
It's been a while since I've painted a pair of converse, but I really do love it for some reason. I painted these for the lovely Examorata. She hasn't even got them yet but I couldn't resist sharing the pictures.
So, after the sucess of my russian doll collage I decided to make some more. First I made little stuffed ones with patterned fabric and hand painted faces. Then I made some more collaged one which I backed with thick watercolour paper, laminated or vanished and turned into miniture art jewerly.I...
Here are some bits and pieces from my illustration project on circuses. All my work had been been in my portfolio then was being marked but I've got it back now. I thought I'd share some of the stuff I do at college with you over the next week or so. These were made with coloured paper. foam stamps,...
