Friday

I totally forgot that hi-lighters don't photocopy/scan real well. But there it is... Friday afternoon.

Have a good weekend! xo

It's been a looooong week. I'm looking forward to this evening -- making pizzas, drinking cider, doing some painting and watching cartoon movies.

Leash

Late morning watercolour and graphite experiment... The way I draw with a pencil is about the polar opposite of the way I draw with a pen... All messy and inaccurate. But it's nice to scratch out my frustrations in a way that is probably closest to my instinctive drawing style.

I'm going to try and go big with this one (it's A3-ish now), so I can use spray paint. Which will probably be an unmitigated disaster, but it's worth a shot.

Sure do.

Kinda looks like my brain when I draw, I think.

Awesome.

Vision quests and the three week bender

Bits and pieces of this series have turned up all over the place on here, but I thought I'd post them all together... These are the 'rough drafts'--more than sketches, but still not quite as finished as I would like.

Sacred and cheap, temporary and infinite.

Instagram

 

Yay new phone! Instagram! And new drawing!

I know I'm super-slow on the adapt here, but I'm on instagram now, raychponygold.

Vintage marketplace

So, as it turns out, bikes are really hard to draw. In fact, I probably don't remember the last time I drew an entire person, with feet and everything, either. But we got there! 

For the past few weeks, I've been stringing together some time to work on this drawing for the lovely Kate of Vintage Marketplace, and I'm so pleased (and surprised) that it's finished and it looks OK... The last commission piece I did, it took a year from the day we first discussed it to when it was actually finished. I'm a notorious procrastinator.
But check it out, there is plenty of fine vintage clothing to be had... like some serious serious-good pieces... here.

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

Well, its no secret how I feel about Harper Smith. Or velvet clothing... or goats, for that matter. So of course, how could I resist an editorial with all of those things?
