Happy New Year !

here is a sketch tooling around the studio !

well

the Happy Mondays are playing, its time to celebrate Christmas !

an update

Still a way to go, but this painting had many things about it that make me postive about my next year of painting... The photo is washed out and doesnt show the texture etc but I think its a great start to my new series of paintings, its basically a proof of concept for me, trying new stuff, moving away from old....

Merry Christmas from Me, T P Louise and of course the Nabler !

Coz that s what we celebrate in my house, but merry >> insert your fav celebration here << !

Im going to be away from the studio on and off over this coming week, and Im setting up a new one, so the daily drawing might be missed or be severely lame in the interim.

Thanks to everyone !

oh yea

I have a 2011 Calendar over at Bambaland, if thats ya bag !

09/12/10 Love thy Nabler

I got a nic email today asking me some questions regarding the daily images, here is my answer.

i use markers and calligraphy pens, some watery paint and ziptone oN paper.

There are no sketches as they are the sketch 99% of the time ( sometimes ill doodle a small rough, really basic if its a dicky compostion ), they are drawn directly onto paper, light-boxing is for lesser types plus its more to draw twice :)

thats the skill to me, not the final image, but the process of making it. Its where the fun is and the danger…

Another double sketch day, its fun to knock these out, the larger and I guess more serious undertakings take months to nail down, and these really provide a daily closure that working on big paintings dont give.

07/12/10 some figure studies...

Saturday 4/12/10

friday 3rd december

Thursday... another sketch !

Actually very nice to have a self imposed deadline for a drawing a day, I dont have any real deadlines anymore, so its all new, all different !

Even f art is your thing, you should give it a try ( the daily drawing thing ), you never know whats lurking inside !
