The Quiet Bend

This little painting I've done today called the quiet bend, almost perfectly fit into one of my antique frames. It had a small overhang of plastic which I heated and cut away from the edge. The fit was so snug and the decorative look was so perfect for the subject matter. It's like they were meant to be together. I used a new technique yet again for this painting of a quite bend in a stream, overlooked by a small blue roofed cottage, in amongst pines and autumn colours. I'll probably do another before long and fill the last 2 remaining frames that I have like this.

A Character I'm Building

I am an ex-Disney animator, I like animation and have played and worked in that industry since the 90's. Yesterday I had a great idea for a character I could develop over time into some short animated pieces. I call her Goth Mum. I can imagine lots of little scenarios for her and her chums / kids / pets. I am tweeting about her and have a few Goth mothers who follow me and help with ideas about makeup, jewelry and clothing. This is going to be an after hours hobby in the winter .

New Contemporary Styles

I've been looking at my 'Bots in a box' series of work with a new eye. I've decided to run some digital filters over a bunch of them to start creating some print designs to sell online. The results so far have got me a little excited and wanting to return to the original series and start creating more of them. I'll post more in the future and provide links to where they can be purchased.
