Feral Jimothy
I caved into my husband's request for a Jimothy portrait, but I made it FERAL. Feral J. This will guarantee it's the first thing that sells tomorrow. I made a smaller one in a tiny little frame that's not for sale. He better be surprised on his birthday.
Garage sale art supplies
Getting towards the end of garage sale season, so of course that's when I decide to get serious about documenting things. This haul included some FREE speedball inks, which I'm really excited about trying. I don't do prints, but this may be the gateway supply that gets me
Gridlock
The thing I'm proudest of here is the evenness and cleanness of the grid! I did a combo of rulers and eyeballing the sections, and it wasn't a bad result. Except...ah, yes, except I didn't leave any space around the edge, so I can't put a matte on
Moist!
I live west of Seattle, which is close enough to claim a Jimothy connection, but not close enough to ever have a sighting. What we do have are plenty of banana slugs. I hope you see where this is going... Yes! Banana slug art. I painted this one
Another year, another self-portrait
I completed my birthday self portrait with a box of free acrylics, graphite, derwent wc pencils, a reused canvas, and repurposed subject. The results are as expected and a metaphor for the coming year, I think. I chose the least flattering angle possible because that was the best
This to That: Hoist the Orca
Behold the before and after of Dark Sails, a 16x20 canvas I picked up at a thrift store for $1. I'll venture that the original artist did not have any white paint, which is the only reason I can think of for this relentless field of black and blue.
