Paintbook 54

…flies/eyes…

…..or, if you will, eyes/flies….

Paintbook 53

…I can highly recommend the three day break from posting…

…but don’t try this at home….

…it will cost you a fortune in eye glasses and treatments for your repetitive strain injury…..

Sketchy LXI

…aaannnddd…

…I’m back…..

….(still unloading the sketch book)….

…(nearly caught up)….

Sketchy LX

…all references to goats are real and pertain to the previous occupant of Dee’s new lair and his goats….

….after much scrubbing and airing the goat odour is much dissipated…

…yay….

Sketchy XXXXI

….tighter….

…needs more cutting and some drilling….(see note bottom right)….

Sketchy XXXIX

…skull/fly….

…just about to embark on re-doing the “fly/skull-skull/eye-eye/fly” as A2 scrawlings….

….not sure how they will fit this format!….

…guess we’ll all have to wait and see….

Sketchy XXXVII

…and so the grind continues….

…grind, grind, grind it goes…..

….(thank god it produces results!)….

Big Secret Project VI

….the last of the series that I last posted about 5 and 1/2 months ago….

…only remembered after a big long art chat with friend Adrian….

…fly/skull/eye….10th in a series of 10 finished during the first NZ lock down in 2020….

….and some less wobbly stills….

…I think all the flies are different on this…have tried to figure that out by standing in front of it and reciting the colour combinations…but got confused very quickly (and summoned a paint demon)…

Sketchy XXXVI

….this one was abandoned as not paintbookable because the lines over the octopus won’t transfer from the pen to the brush….

…whereas this one is being paintbooked (in a more “evolved” manner) even as we speak…

…further more…being back on nightshift is allowing me to lean into sketchbook like I haven’t been able to in the last six months….

….mmmm….sketchbook….

Sketchy XXXV

….fly/skull….

…or is it skull/fly?…

…and almost 11 months since these went into sketchbook they are finally making an appearance in “paintbook”…

…(paintbook dump after sketchbook dump)….

…(then maybe I’ll find time to do some finished pieces)….
