Sheep Man: Man Album

I did the art for Sheep Man's new album! I followed their manly instructions for the images.

The album can be listened to here.  It is awesome, go listen to it.

oh lazy me

Finally coloured this.
I have the finishing touches to add to the three drawings and I'll deem the series complete fer neow.

new page header

Believe it or not, the header I'm using for this site wasn't actually drawn by me.
 I know, right?
I have no idea why I didn't just draw my own. The little blonde girl is actually cut out of an old 'Brownies' guidebook, and I thought she was cute, and oddly resembled me in my own brownie days.

This is the full image, a dorky little collage I made several years ago for the first page of my sketchbook:

Anyway, I drew this today among my doodling, and it will probably replace the little blonde brownie that I've usurped for three years. I'll scan a crisper version, and possibly colour it tomorrow (when it's not 2am).
It's the same sort of idea, except, you know.... mine.

just an easy morning rebel

The Festival p. 2

P art 2.
I'm currently reading Malcolm Lowry's "Under the Volcano". Very interesting, and relevant to my current stream of artwork!

Newestest Painting In Progress.

S ingle sitting stage (2 hours in..?ish). Starting to recognize some familiar characters.

Can Gods celebrate Día de los Muertos?

Sketching the Strange

I made a few things up in the drawings, as you can probably observe. I'm not sure whether I'm going to do more than these four, in this particular way. These were all loose and quick, made on the same night. I used a combination of watercolor, oil pastels, pencil crayon and graphite on yellowish paper ( I don't know the term for it). I want to move on to something a little more ambitious, and  have begun a larger drawing, with masked characters filling a festival-type space.

Let us put on your closet.

I decided that I would take a few of my own reference pictures to draw from, and dressed my very accommodating roommate in many layers of things, and took a bunch of pictures. Good thing she has so much clothing.

... and here is what I have drawn from it:

... more to come!

God

F or my next drawing project, the assignment is God. In keeping with my focus on costumes, masks and festivals, I will be taking inspiration from various african costumes, from Nigeria and Calabar South such as these:

You can see the rest of them are at the Life Magazine website... I can't find the link at the moment.
They are also similar to the "soundsuits" that artist Nick Cave creates:
