A few words and then an apparent massive flickr pasting.

Unfortunately my scanner seems to be still out of commission and now serves as little more than a shelf. Though I think the point and shoot camera is doing a mildly better job at not obliterating all the colours.

As somewhat usual I'm in the process of undertaking a new project, though hopefully this is a project that comes into fruition. It stands a moderately better chance as it is a multi-person ordeal. With a decent bit of luck and a lot of hard work I hope to be able to present you all with a nice little art zine come March 2009 entitled 'Cephalopod Party Quarterly.' I shall keep you updated on that as things happen, though as it comes into fruition it'll get it's own blog as well. If you're at all interested in participating/contributing to the zine just let me know.

And now the deluge of flickr paste-ness.

Start to Finish

Bird Skull on a cut out page. Gesso and watercolours.







Gesso is a new beast that is a joy to tackle. Usuaully I sketch it out, outline what I want in india ink, and slap on some watercolour. Now, I have to sketch it out, apply several layers of gesso, wait almost a day, then apply the first bit of colour. After all that some more gesso goes down and the waiting begins anew. With all that time I actually end up thinking about the end product a bit more. Who knows where that'll lead.
