Motivation

I've been rather lazy lately, working full time really takes it out of you, however that's really not much of an excuse. I've had a lot of side projects/commission work as well. Otherwise, I haven't been entirely uninspired, been giving artworks as gifts when I can, so here are some:

robins

pen & collage on paper, 2010

(this one was for my sister)

melbourne

oil pastel on paper, 2011

(this was for my brother)

interior with corgi

watercolour and collage on paper, 2011

(this was for my friend)

The common factor with all the creative work I've been doing lately is the deadline. Pretty tragic.

fear

I did this mixed media drawing a while ago, it was going to be a starting point for a different series, but I had to abandon it due to a lack of time. Will probably expand upon this idea in the future. Focusing on fear, humanity, vulnerability and the unpredictable.

Monochromatic portraits

Leaving the watercolours alone for a moment here, decided to unearth the inks and charcoals. Was a lot of fun to use these bolder mediums again.

matics

I wasn't sure what to make of these, I'm pretty sure they were a continuation of works from a previous year on global warming. I'll probably do more work on this theme later.
