I have the morning off, which means the possibility of art before my eyes decide "sorry, enough for today!" I've been thinking about doing something with kingfishers for a while, so consider this a st...

I have doodled a bit with ink and graphite, but nothing worth showing yet; I do hope to get one or two graphite pieces done anyway. There's a Feanor on the workbench, as well as a piece of Northern Ge...

Inktober, here we go! I had the idea few days ago to make thirty-one different ex libris, and combine Inktober with Mythtober.
Now, the big question is: Will she manage all thirty...

Doodled a little self-portrait during a conference last week. And I had an idea for Inktober, actually - in a few days, you will know if it worked. Or rather, in thirty-three days, I suppose. XD
In case you couldn't tell by "Tuor and the Swans", Tuor looks a bit like Jamie Bell for me. XD

I felt the urge to do more with my recent Tuor and Idril sketch, and planned it in a way that puts less emphasis on faces, as those are what causes me huge amounts of trouble right now.
I've finally followed an almost life-long dream of mine and got an aquarium, which my daughter and I care for. Initially, I wanted to keep guppies (you remember my obsession with guppy mermaids), but ...

Apart from the fact that this is another paper experiment that results in another "paper I won't use again", I really like the way this is going.

And also a suggestion piece! Trying a wetter, looser approach, and remembering that a wet approach already means that a "quick" piece will be a very, very slow piece, because drying times, hee.
