A Child and Two Leopards

 The digital fun continues. These and drawing are What I Have Time For. Of course now I can't do it I yearn for a massive studio full of massive serious Frank Auerbach type Serious Oil Paintings proving how involved I am with my vision and that I am a Serious Artist. But these are fun too and scratch the itch.

Babies Squiggled During Life

incidental drawings from my life.

mainly baby based, this is what we find

Little Iris Early Efforts

Some of my earlier drawings of little Iris.





Clunky, but I had just had a massive blood transfusion.




Most from life, some from photos, some a bit of both, but with the experience of being around her all the time.

Walking cat

This one had a baby on his back.

This helped me to decide I want to stick with pure watercolour and not get all other stuff mixed up with it.



I might soon do a ten year review like Katie did. I think I need to tell some of my stories, people need stories to hang their reactions on.

Knightmare with a Red Pencil

Knightmare, the British children's role-playing dungeon-based game show that ran from 1987-1994, is one of the more nerdy things that I'm a fan of.



I had a notion that I wanted to do a series of works based on Knightmare, eventually some quite moody watercolours. I don't know if they'd be fan art as such. They sort of are in spirit but it's obscure enough for me to not expect most people to get the references. I just hope to be able to use some of the atmosphere, awkwardness and creepiness to make some nice pictures that have a coherence together. I need to do something technicolour, and something with consistence. I may also attempt some landscapes with similar atmosphere.

Also lately I've gone a bit mental with red col-erase pencils and animation paper.
















little self-portrait next






Notions for future blogs that would scratch itches:

Some topless boymen (I've missed them)
boybands
JLS
Boys of Twilight with their drawn on abs
early Take That
smalltime cage fighters

Drawings of Queen (I'm rather familiar with their shapes from formative years, and I would love to get my hands on Freddie's teeth)

Birds of New Zealand in technicolour

All these things somehow combined in technicolour

Ghosts of Wrestling Past

Looming in my mind.
