"Snow" - ink, watercolor and gouache on illustration board- 15" x 20"

Hooray! After two weeks, this piece is finally done. For some reason I got distracted drawing bears all the time. Was very tempted to add a bear here, but decided against it.

Screenprinting! "City Walker"

5 comments

I learned how to screenprint! Friend and fellow artist extraordinaire Kathy Jaller graciously set up a hands on workshop in her studio this weekend, and we all had a blast.

We had a session yesterday and today, learning how to stretch, prep, and burn screens. I made a screen of City Walker and Dive, and started experimenting on paper. Next week will be devoted to printing (shirts maybe?). I just printed the robot today, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the fish looks when I try it out next week!

Apologies for image quality, these were taken with my phone camera -

01 17 10 doodle - ink and coffee in sketchbook - 11" x 8"

Had a pretty bad case of painter's block this weekend... so I went to the local coffee shop and just doodled for a while.

note to self: draw more hands, lack of practice makes for shitty looking hands.

Hey Reddit

"Hey Reddit" - ink, watercolor and gouache on paper - 7" x 10"

I posted something in a thread on reddit a few days back and got a really positive response to my artwork. I figured it was the least I could do to paint something for the community -- as a thank you for all the nice comments and bump in traffic =).

(redditors love narwhals. but really, who doesn't?)

First painting of the year! This was pretty satisfying to finish... it feels like many of the techniques I've been experimenting with are melding well =).
