WIP

 

I know, enough Instagram... but look at the pretty colours.

Work-in-progress.

Insta & Insta

Life with Bay and puppies and ocean and cupcakes in Instagram and Instax.

Sutpen's hundred

Absalom! Absalom! was heavy going... but there's nothing like Faulkner in the summertime, all that talk of wistaria and dust and southern balmy nights. I bought the book at an airport in the US, because I though it would be an appropriate time to start reading some American literature again. This sketch, which didn't have any intent, sort of reminded me of it, cow skulls and coffins I guess. Also, thanks everyone for your continuing kindness!

Archived

I never posted this pic, because at the time I despised it.

But I do like a macaw parrot in a drawing.

Spiritual gimmick

Some pics and details from recent sketchbook entries. Faux spirituality and totem birds.

I also raided the opshop for this frame and massive print--can't argue with $20 for the lot--because I thought I would paint on it... but the more I look at it, the more I want it to stay as it is. I'll have to think about it some more.

Friday

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

Have a good weekend! xo

02/12/11

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.
