Five Years

SO I've been working in a Deli for almost five years now. FIVE YEARS. you might ask yourself why the deli girls have stayed there. Well the answer is simple. We all think we look like this:

Spotted on the Hunt For Faces

David Attenborough voice:  When spotted, the artist feints interest in almost anything in another direction. Particularly vulnerable in a playground setting, as an artist might be mistaken for a pedophile. To avoid confrontation the artist will break itself loose from his usual leisurely drawing pace, to a quick, frantic sketch. Approach with cation as they are often shy about their work. A bad reaction from the subject matter and the artist will find other spots to visit, often never visiting that site again for fear of recognition.

Sketching Daily

Got really inspired. There are some really talented artists out there. This is what I've been working on for the last half an hour. My character, Truck, in a mushroom land. Doesn't look very happy.

Thats probably me projecting; I've not had a very good day. I've given up caffeine, which was my drug of choice. Now I get these killer headaches so I've been using other drugs to relieve that. 

But the drugs don't work. 

I would love to be able to drink coffee again. Maybe when winter starts. Enough of my rambling, I'll get back to work and finish this off for you.

The Humans Have Forgotten You

Moody Moon is a character of mine, I drew inspiration from Hellboy for his face. He even had a cigar for a day or two. Question, do you think men with beards are sexy? I definitely do. It might have something to do with the nerd chick thing. I don't know, but apparently I'm a minority. 

For all those who don't know what type is

This is what we do

More Gouache

The finished Mushrooms. 

A gift for my father's 61st birthday. I was considering writing "Rock On Cod" in that blue patch but later decided against it.

Trying New Things

I've been trying out Gouache for a change and I'm loving it. One of the artists I'm following did some amazing things with gouache and I instantly got jealous and wished I had a set. Instead of going to buy some I started to clean my room to keep my mind off my latest want. Guess what! I found a set of gouache paints! I couldn't believe my luck. The best thing about gouache? It dries to a matte finish unlike its shiny acrylic brother. It also dries fast and goes on thick. I love it, its like it was made for my style of painting.

I decided to do some concept art for "White Space". A good ol' giant mushroom biome.
