Exciting times!

Wear the Mask

Someone pointed me in the direction of the RedBubble site, and it seems pretty attractive with all that affordable printing of my stuff without me having to organize it. I'll need to obtain some pennies soon though to do the old quality control check and perhaps some photography...

Wear the Mask was a drawing from an All the Young Nudes night. The model wore a welding mask; props are de rigueur some nights. It's never dull to draw at the Flying Duck!

I love the ibis shaped egyptian ibis casket in the Burrell Collection. It has such balance and poise.
I've drawn it a few times now, but this is the first one with colour.

In fact, I don't tend towards colour much at all, and this is a bit of a deviation for me. A lot of the time I can 'see' the colours in a drawing without having to manually add them. If that makes any sense. However, this one really needed a gold body to work, and once I'd painted that in, the bronze head, tail, and legs just screamed out for some variants of Marine Blue. I drew other stuff at the Burrell Collection that day, but I like this one best, it just pops.

One continuous 0.35 rotring line. FW inks to fill.
