….every once in awhile I think to myself “that page would benefit by being covered in eyeballs and flutterdies”….
…and as I work at night, by myself….
….there’s no one there to contradict me….
…template “d”…
…at least I think it’s template “D” … template “C”, currently in use in the sketchbook, is the one back there on the post-it notes…yep, must be template “D”)….
….and this is what it’s for….
…a quick study on A3 paper, in water colour before I move to board and paint…
…(major props to wordpress artist Nick who mentioned using water colour on his latest stuff…that triggered “hey, I need to see if this idea works and know it won’t fit in paintbook and I don’t want to take weeks doing it at A3 in paint that takes 40 minutes to dry between applications so why not see if you can make a new medium work”….result!…you can find Nick at
…thank you Nick…)…
…detail?…why of course…
…shit…guess I’ve committed to this being the next thing I work on….
P.S…..first time in an age that I’ve posted something within one hour of finishing…
….Flies!….
….Flies and Skullsncrossbones!….
…(lord knows what they make of this at work as I busily scrawl in the book and eat with my mouth open)….
…more “template B” madness….
…very satisfying to discover that the other motifs that you favour fit into the pattern that you’re playing with….
…mmm…four coloured pen….
