Middle-Earth inspired prints

These three green offerings have just been added to the Etsy shop, any of which would make the perfect background for a little daydreaming and a nice cup of tea. :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D

That’s what the gentleman himself wrote on the first image, which is a print of a rather hasty sketch!

A magnificent friend (to whom I now probably owe a kidney) printed it out and took it with her to the Calgary Expo where the HIGH KING OF THE ELVES signed it. ^_^

The image below that, however, is the finished version – with extra shiny and special.

New header!

The first one was pretty enough in a subtle, understated way. But I don’t really do subtle; I do fiddly, fussy, fastidious, and fecking sparkly. Huzzah!
It was made as a digital collage from this drawing (originally 21x29cms, graphite and acrylic on cardstock).

Which is also the drawing I was working on in this video : Sketching Rivendell Et voilà!

Fluffy green things & Donkeys.

In this part of Portugal Spring lasts for exactly 27 minutes.
It slides like a credit card between winter and summer, a mere membrane to ceremonially keep the two opposing seasons apart. To celebrate Spring’s arrival (and immediate departure) I went out and looked at green things.
Here’s my guide to the local flora and fauna. No technical names are used. Whatsoever.

Sketching Rivendell

I’ve been asked a few times how I draw, and the answer is: ‘erratically, with lots of mistakes and some dithering’, and behold there’s now proof.

(This is my first time filming something with this camera, and time lapse, and making films, and .. everything. Humble apologies for the sloggy bits.)

…to the newly built home for my artwork! Wherever I put my red chaise, that’s my gallery.

As you can see I’m still working on some parts of it, so if anything breaks or drops off while you’re perusing, do let me know.

You can browse either by Categories or Tags (in the menu, right) to find specific artwork and posts; or just scroll down to see ALL THE THINGS.

Although I’ve only been working on the site a few weeks most of the posts are backdated (some as early as 2007) to reflect when the art itself was done. So if you scroll through the site the work will appear (hopefully) in chronological order with the most recent at the top.

Now for the love of Hobbits, someone get me a drink.
