My sister ” L” is energetic fun loving, and maybe sometimes crazy. She taught me the importance of play and how to enjoy life.

Messed around with some paint and then wondered what to do with it, so I drew the eye and placed it the centre. It has a creepy kind of vibe, but I like it.

Yeah I went to Trinity. Lots of good times there. We have an unofficial, official lime every boxing day and yesterday was the first time I went. Was really cool to see a bunch of old faces and friends and laugh over old times. I hope to do it again next year, and hope it is even more fun than this one.

Oh yeah this was my uniform!

So after visitng home I thought I would do some impressionistic images of the women in my life, mainly my family. I have a lot of sisters and my mother pretty much raised us on her own. They are all very caring and loving and it is always good to be a part of that and to be able to benefit from it. Even though I sometimes forget that it is available.

So I did this piece for my mother, it is not a planned piece I just wanted to do something gestural in feel to see what my gut reaction would be when I initially thought of her. I guess from the image you can come up with some of your own thoughts on what is depicted.

I hope everyone that enjoys Christmas is having a good time. I will be spending some time with the family and then later some friends. Most people take this opportunity to enjoy a whole lotta food, I cannot say I will not be doing the same. LOL

N joy!

I know right now it have people fed up see Christmas decorations etc. I just kinda wanted to do something simple that reminds me of the time. I am not a big fan of Christmas per se but I am a big fan of   family, friends and the general good in us all.

Just some sketches I did of my hand. I tend to revert to a very modular graphic style when figuring out things as I draw, I like it but its not suitable for every situation where something more fluid will tell a better story.

I suppose tomorrow I will  do something chrismassy, perhaps. Possibly. …

This was an initial sketch for the dougla series. The mix of styles and a look for someone living in a post apocalyptic, tribal world.

Kind of a darkish look at something the should be fun and bright. Maybe the stormy weather is getting to me at the moment.

Got a mobile music unit back ( mp3 player) Best thing to cool my head on the way to school in the morning.

Tried to reraw somethnig I remembered from class, short writings these days a lot to do.

Messing around with inanimate items to make clothing.
