'The Italian Way' & Update

Finally after what seems like a lifetime I finally have my internet back! I'm back at tafe so hopefully I'll have more art to share more often. I'm currently working on a commission for a friend and that will (hopefully) be used as the cover of his debut album. I'm looking forward to the album regardless of whether or not my art is on the cover. But in the meantime here's a little something I've been wanting to upload for the past week.

For an explanation of this piece please check out my deviantart submission of this artwork (which I'm more than happy with how it turned out).

Worship the Sun

'Worship the Sun'

Oil on A3 Canvas paper

 

Please excuse the bulldog clip at the top of the photo, and for the quality of the photo for that matter, didn't have anything to rest my painting on. 

I'm really into further exploring the idea of Goddesses and Spirituality in my art and in life. There's no reference or influence for this painting in particular (eg. Hecate, Lilith, Artemis etc.) I just wanted to paint a woman of the earth so to speak. 

((And yes most of the goddesses will probably be lacking clothing...what goddess wears clothes if she can help it?)) 

The Forest Queen

"The Forest Queen"

A4
0.05 Fine liner on paper

Spent the day drawing this. A young faun greeting his Queen with a gift behind his back. She's really not as stern as she looks.
I'm very happy with how this turned out. It started with just a quick drawing of a face, and slowly over the past 11 hours became this.

New Year Blessings

First post of 2013. Good bye past, hello future.

Night Light

Some of the photos I took for the Night light project for Photography this year at tafe.

Thanks to Debs and Stuzz for all your help with this project.
 

Pardon the lack of updates, dealing with life and shit...

 Just an A2 sketch pad, some charcoal and Loreena McKennitt's "Book of Secrets".

End of a Year.

                                                         And so ends my first year of tafe.
Hand in for assessment was last Friday, and man was it hectic, but I think everything that needed to be handed in was. I thought I might show you all how that armadillo hard ground turned out. This was a bonus print I did, this one could have used a bit more ink on it but I had no time to do another one because the printmaking room wasn't open during Catch-Up week (Which makes no sense!)

My internet has been running incredible slow this past week and a half, but hopefully it will pick up and I'll be able to keep this blog more up to date with new artworks, events, reviews and whatever. I'll try to make these holidays as art productive as possible.
