DISCOVERING ART THROUGH EXPLORATION
I've been crazy busy lately, and cannot fit in as much drawing as I'd like. One small project I usually work on around this time of year is my TaikOz Student Concert tshirt and programme design. I like to give it some thought and time, but only had an afternoon to come up with something.... Continue Reading →
A friend invited me to watch his SCA group (Society for Creative Anachronism) spar using and wearing medieval weaponry and armour, respectively. It was really challenging, as it always is when capturing figures constantly moving at fast speed. And unlike other gestural drawing I've done - none of their moves were repeated,like dancers going through a... Continue Reading →
I am lucky enough to live in a city is hosting a comprehensive exhibition on Scott of the Antarctic at the Australian National Maritime Museum (which I find has some of the most interesting design and art-related exhibitions than most art galleries). It's travelling globally and its first stop is Sydney. I went in a... Continue Reading →
An evening out gave me a chance to do some more local sketches. Click here for a closer look.
Just a couple more additions to my Urban Sketchers Sydney page. One of Marrickville Road and a couple down at Tempe – which is well worth another visit. But why is it that I always ended up going on overcast days? For a more detailed look and read click here.
Finally, found some time to continue on with my hand study. I have added two more to the musical instrument page. If you would like to see them in more details visit this page and scroll down to Singing Bowls Apologies for the crappy imagery.
Although I have been drawing heaps these last few months, not a lot to show on this blog site. But hoping to fit in more hand studies in July. However, managed to do two urban sketches - unfortunately one month apart. Now that it is winter the days are shorter and we have had the... Continue Reading →
Holy cow! What a month! I completed my first attempt at the online project Every Day in May. It's all to do with encouraging people to draw regularly, and it occurs in May, obviously. Frankly, I would have preferred February - a much shorter month. I didn't think I was going to get there in... Continue Reading →
Started a big clean up the other day - it's not spring here, but it felt like the time was right. Anyway, I had to do the hardest thing and say goodbye to my first pair of Doc Martens. I stopped wearing them years ago - the soles were completely shot - holes deeper than... Continue Reading →
The weather has been topsy-turvy over this Easter Long Weekend, but I managed to fit a few in. To see all my sketches in full go to my Urban Sketchers page. Cheers!
