New digi... nude idgy... nidgy

Life is mainly parenting based... fond memories of when blogs were the thing

 So here are some of my recent digital pictures. Can you identify the celebs?

 I do these to scratch my art itch and keep myself more or less sane. I do rather like digital painting and its comparative lack of baggage. It is weightless unburdened play. I do like mucking about.

 I like dollies, and I want to do pictures like pop songs but good happy sad ones

Digital Paintings Hitherto Not Here

 



 Can you tell what they are yet?

Smudged Pillocks

I'm not obsessed with wrestling at the mo, but I should have a show of my wrestling drawings coming up, so I've been wrestling with drawing through wrestling drawings. Ultimate Warrior!





I want to use pastels more and hone my techniques through honing.





The explorations felt valid, the muse came and went in a floozily fickle fashion.

















Peculiar bonus: the cover of my diary beginning 10th December 2001, ending 16th July 2002. Different times. I was at once more and less confident.

The Minotaur and the Dribbly Storm

Here's one of the paintings I finished in March. (Click to enlarge as always)

It's an oil painting including the Minotaur that I started maybe nearly three years ago. It actually feels good completing 'old' paintings and makes all this feel like an ongoing process rather than a series of frivolous mistakes.

Britney Spears

I suppose I felt sort of neutral about Britney, I didn't want to be mean to her while she's all troubled. But I persevered and tried to 'take her somewhere' in my drawings, because she's still fascinating to me in moments. Done these sporadically over past few weeks.

Pretty photoshoot photoshop Britney is a different creature to out on the town wig buying smudgy eyeliner sad trashy Britney. But she can still be interesting. It's like trying to capture the creature that they were aiming for, rather than a whole person.





But she has seemed more like a real person in recent times, if a somewhat messed up one.





I never want to be cruel in my drawings, just honest about what I see, or inventive with the things I can see.

It's hard not to give caricatured Britney huge eyes and a wide head to accomodate how far apart they are.









I used to draw britney back in '99, next to Pikachu. Now she likes to go to strip clubs and have people take pictures of her bottom.














She still scrubs up well.





Drawing her now is like drawing an elusive sort of emptiness. I hope she'll be alright in the end.
