Dear America.I took this photo today and thought of you for the obvious reasons.Then I took this one and I thought it was actually more appropriate; it's a willow tree that was struck by lightning. The core has been hollowed out and hardened by fire. But in it's dead heart was another tree, a tiny little oak, stronger and more resilient than a willow, rising from the ashes.So take from that

Bit of an in-joke amongst artists; every now and then you get someone who "challenges" you to draw their character and thus tries trick you into making them some free art.It's dumb. It's obvious. It's condescending and 9 out of 10 times it's a winged wolf with tribal tattoos.

This last one is maybe not so good :PBut I was just playing around with various degrees of stylization.

From the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

This last one is my favorite for entirely personal reasons. As my friends know I had a friend called Linda, she died a few years ago. Like me she LOVED animals, and apparently, so did the Linda who was buried here. Someone left a small rabbit toy at the grave, one of those mechanical ones that yip and do headflips. Personally I think those toys are super creepy, and this one is a clincher;

Was supposed to be a quick sketch for a screenprinting project.Ended up not being as quick as I'd hoped and didn't use it either :P

Same as the serval; a small sketch inspired by vintage photography of exotic ladies.

Started out as a speed paint, then people slowed me down so I took a bit more time.I lost a lot of anatomical detail in the darkest shading, or that the hand is hovering above the shoulder rather than resting on it, but the gist should be there. Maybe I'll be lucky and the shading will also hide some of the many faults, but again, not going back to fix them. I just need to learn to up my

Anyone know where my summer holiday went?I do, into projects everyone else demanded of me. Commissions, homework, last minute artshow stuff. I'm so fed up with working for other people right now, I can't even make something for myself without feeling guilty.So I said fuck it, I wanted to make something no-one asked for, no-one paid for and without any artistic merit of a subject matter

Design for an etch, but it didn't work out. The lines were too thick to work well, I really prefer screenprinting to preserve lineweight and such.Thought I'd show the digital sketch anyway.

Small pin-up of an African serval, little bigger than a postcard and inspired by vintage postcards of exotic African ladies. Scanning was a pain, the original is browner.The original is for sale, contact me if you are interested.

The Al-mi'raj is a ferocious and bloodthirsty animal, all but it's own kind will flee at the sight of this terrible beast that feeds by hunting and goring any animal or person unlucky enough to cross it's path with it's large, spiraling horn. The Al-mi'raj can kill and devour creatures many times it's size, though it is suggested that it allows members of it's warren to feast on larger kills

Carved it on multiple slabs of linoleum to print them in colour.As anticipated the "noise" is interesting.Printed it on different kinds of paper, these are on thick white and gold marbled.

Corine's bonus pic, for patiently waiting. Based on a photo she took.Done with a brushpen, attempting to dry brush with it. I had to stop every so often and put it down without it's cap to let it dry a bit. Then I got to the solid darks and the pen pretty much ran out for real, so now I need a new brush pen ^_~

I put a lot of work into this and I started a long time ago, but I think it was worth all the blood and sweat and fortunately the customer agrees with me. It's my first real character sheet, the closest thing that came to one before this was Douwe's character sheet which is cute, but not nearly as complete as this one.The customer, Falconeio, wanted a redesign of his character and wasn't

Commission for Corine of herself and her rescue puppy Vicar (he's 7 or so, but all cute dogs = puppy! to me), flying off on her broom with him holding on for dear life. I suppose there's a reason dogs weren't generally considered witches' familiars.I'm only just getting into the "drawing people" thing and in this case it had to actually look like an existing person, which was really hard.

Having trouble re-designing my alter ego. I'm sure people don't keep track, but I've been putzing with it for maybe 2 years now? I've gone through numerous designs that, although exciting, didn't quite feel right. So I decided to take a different approach to it. I identify important aspects of my person and give them their own representation, then make a combination from that.This is my

Homework, my teacher barely looked at it though, which pisses me off as I actually like it a lot. I'm not even sure why, but it turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to, also because I was lucky enough to find good reference which matched my mental image. I used it to make a 5 minute sketch and then finished it on the train. First attempt at a dry brush'ish technique.The assignment was

A while ago I heard a piece of music called "Birds on a wire"; a musician had seen a photo of a bunch of birds sitting on a series of wires which he thought looked like music notes, so he ran with it and the result was pretty amazing. Personally I got mildly obsessed with the words "birds on a wire" so when I saw the wire they had in the studio I combined it with my small collection of bird

I went to the zoo today with a friend to take pictures, and the prairie dogs are pretty much a mandatory stop because their enclosure is very photographer-friendly. It's fairly natural without fences or glass; in fact, you can get extremely close to them. So close that at one point in time I was leaning on the stone edge and almost put my hand down atop of a prairie dog that was half

I forgot this one yesterday, but it kind of deserves it's own post anyway; the mata mata turtle.Macro lens again, and it kind of looks like a mountain ridge come alive. I think it photographed rather well despite the dirty window and muddy water (it was submerged). It just looks so goshdarned happy.

Simple sketch of a cat skull with the negative space filled with charcoal, parchment paper.Had to Photoshop out the wrinkles because my cat knocked it off my desk and I stepped on it because it was on the floor >:/

A castaway lemur, looking out over the seas in the direction of a home he may never see again.A messy etch in copper, coloured digitally.Ignore the glaring anatomical mistakes, it's really hard to draw on copper without preliminary sketches first. >_>It's mostly an experiment.

The same equine skull, three times in different styles;- Harsh black inks.- Inked lines with lineweight but no blacks.- Inked shadows and pencil texture negative space.

Bird skull, obviously (I hope), I think it's a blackbird or a starling but it's hard to tell. And hard to capture the frailty of a bird skull. A short series with different techniques;- sketched- a single, continuous link in ink- sketched and shaded- outline and background filled with a crosshatch pattern in ink

Parody of Shepard Fairy's work. I'm not a fan, he appropriates a bit too much for my tastes.Either way, in this house there's only one entity we obey. Modeled after one of my rabbits, Cicely.Just give her the food and you'll be alright.First screenprinting effort and lemme tell you, a lot can go wrong when screenprinting! I did some stupid shit, like not turning on the table for the first
