Humans doing stuff online
Back on my ‘Draw me nsfw’ Illustrations – some of them aren’t really that NSFW (digital illustration) I mentioned in a previous post about people posting themselves online to be drawn, or to just share themselves. Why are they doing it and why am I looking? Exhibitionism and voyeurism obviously. But a lot of themContinue reading “Humans doing stuff online”
Back on my Minotaur thing
I circle around once again to Minotaurs – with ‘willing’ life models gathered online, I’m sketching my naked mythical creatures You’ll noticed the body types I picked aren’t monsters, and they are weirdly aesthetic – I’ve changed the proportions a bit so they’re not quite human. I also gave them cows heads, which is theContinue reading “Back on my Minotaur thing”
Isolation
I’ve been thinking about vignettes or compartments….possibly apartments. Isolation, and what everyone is doing in their homes on their own. I mean…not like that. Maybe kind of like that I did wonder a bit about compartmentalising both ourselves and parts of ourselves and what that might look like in relation to lockdown. And how thatContinue reading “Isolation”
Lick / swallow
Lockdown art illustration Practicing line work with a simplified illustration. I have a few variations of the same basic idea, it changes from a fox/rabbit, fox/butterfly, then dog/mouse. Same concept – a stretched jaw devouring something delicate – the delicate thing being unconcerned about this fact. When I moved from black and white I triedContinue reading “Lick / swallow”
Lockdown Art Challenge – Aubrey B
The lockdown art challenge either never ended or has started up again. And there’s nothing to do but sit about practicing styles. This is a portrait of local Teesside musician Micheal CG in the style of Aubrey Beardsley. It’s a simple black and white illustration (actually black and beige to mimic paper colours) with elementsContinue reading “Lockdown Art Challenge – Aubrey B”
Ladies and Animals
I’ve become mildly interested in ladies with animals and I don’t know why. I just like them holding each other – coexisting in the same space I pondered on this, reading scraps about it here and there. I did a bit of research and found a lot of classical portraits of women holding animals inContinue reading “Ladies and Animals”
On the subject of snakes
I’ve been playing with a few images that interest me – specifically Medusa and her snakes. Everyone knows the main story of Medusa (turn people to stone), and then everyone will correct you on the story of Medusa to highlight the female misery aspect. You’ve got rape, then being cursed, then killed etc. etc. ButContinue reading “On the subject of snakes”
Quick Outlining – Patti Smith Line Drawing
A very quick simplified outline drawing of Patti Smith from the cover of the 1975 Horses album. Tattoo request – just do the outline and block colour of the hair and shirt (maybe some of the jawline) I listened to the album once I finished drawing – it was listed in Rolling Stone‘s “500 GreatestContinue reading “Quick Outlining – Patti Smith Line Drawing”
Icon and signage illustration
Working on large format printed boards to signpost people to products/reductions/instructions etc. And you need a surprising amount of them I was experimenting with simple illustrations to add a bit of playfulness online and in the store The below images of scales and jars illustrate how to buy refill food when bringing your own containersContinue reading “Icon and signage illustration”
