Under Cover

Under Cover (full version)

For the Singing Tree series. Digital drawing/illustration with floral paper.

Protecting the endangered. I could live this way, under cover, in the wilds. In my heart I already do. Protected from human greed and ignorance. Perhaps paying back a debt to nature; becoming semi wild in order to experience living in an environment made hostile to you by the carelessness of human beings. This is especially so in the next image, 'Come Home' (further down page).

Under Cover (detail)

Anyway, I used to have a beautiful, Carbonmade portfolio. Eventually I quit displaying my images there because they always appear undersaturated, even after comparisons between various browsers, PC's and Apple Macs. Regardless, I should like to ask whether you see it, too. Here is a link to the above image displayed at Carbonmade. Does it appear paler, less saturated there? I would love to show my images a little larger than Typepad allows, for the medium size tends to lack detail.

Enjoy your collective weekends!

Dream Folk

.

 

Dream Folk (ver.1)

Please see here for a slightly more detailed version.

New works for the Singing Tree series; concerning our relationship with nature, this time with a semi-domesticated theme. I wanted to merge the concept of wild and tame (the pointy teeth and pretty frocks), leisure and responsibility (aesthetic prettifying with the more responsible idea of replanting, etc) The majority of these particular works are mixed media, combining digital illustration, acrylic and watercolour painting, paper and digital collage.

I may create a print sampler set of these images for the shop soon!

EDIT: Individual 10x8 prints of these new works are now in store.

It's good to be back! And thank you so very much for the lovely birthday wishes in my previous post ♥

I had quite a wonderful day indeed, made even more special by finally adopting a tiger with the WWF.

And coming to the shop soon: brand new Silhouette prints are due later this week.

EDIT: They have arrived!

Please check out my News page for more details!

More soon, so take care!

Falling asleep so early this past week or so. Dreams merging with reality. Taking a little bit of time out from the internet to read, catch up with commissions, write journals, and to enjoy the various pleasures of the physical world. My birthday this coming weekend. Hoping to spend more time with family and close friends (eating out, and lots of it!) and to prance around in ivory lace stockings, listening to Saint-Saëns (carnival of the Animals + Danse Macabre), the new Husky Rescue and These New Puritans. A thoroughly incongruous mix, that's me. 

Of course, the Art&Ghosts shop will function as usual: Another fresh stock update this afternoon, and a couple of old favourites have returned for a trial run. If you're interested, do take a look!

 .

I shall return, a year older, and most likely with new works very soon, so take care and enjoy the crisp winter mornings ♥
