Random works from 2016

I still sort my works by the year, not by the subject, and it is getting harder and harder to find anything, but as IT people say: never touch the running system 😀Adventures await mini 2016 Made for exhibition in Peanut Gallery, Adelaide.

Bath hill 2016

Random sketch. I like drawing bathtubs.Beach 1 2016 A painting sketch for a large custom painting.
black swan 2016 During the craft and art market in Deloraine, Tasmania, we were encouraged to show the creative process, so I did some drawings and watercolour paintings and this is one of them. Some people ask where does inspiration come from. This little work was inspired by New Zealand (lakes and mountains), vintage swan boats (can’t remember where I saw them, was it The Simpsons episode?) and Australian nature – swans are black here.

hipster cafe 2016

When I don’t know what to draw, I draw cafe scenes.
kirai 2016 kirai grey 2016 Long fox 2016 mermaid and catman 2016 Pink lama nice colours 2014 I started this large painting in 2012 or so, but finished only in 2016. Well it was almost finished, just needed little touch ups but it took a while, really a while to get organised to finish this. It survived probably 4 house moving including interstate one, few falls from the shelve after a wind gust and getting a hole in canvas and other things. rooftop koal masonic hall deloraine 2016 Koala in Deloraine again.sneaky swallow 2016 Sneaky is my middle name.

Inktober + blue pencils

5White ink on black paper keeps fascinating me. I keep getting surprised or disappointing, enjoying the process or looking for the ways to “save” the work.

8 And everything looks different from what I imagined. I thought of people relaxing on the grass, but my friend compared it to the image of massive grave excavated during some archaeological research :/

9Tired after disappointing results I draw something I am used to. A cat.

And birds.

Inktober

Time to wake this blog up.

I am doing #inktober (drawing an ink drawing every day of October) again and before posting the new drawings, there are some from the last year.

Where do surfing sloths come from

One picture of the story was published in the comic anthology Š! sports edition. And there is the rest. I couldn’t decide if I should save it for some print but you all need to know how did the sloth started surfing.
