Chrone Bear

What better time to experiment with a new program then with a gift? I will be honest this is my first take on using Corel Painter 11 and its quiet different from the vector typed illustrations I have been doing. Its a program that literally mimics real media. This was a commissioned; but gifted piece as well for my beautiful Yoga Teacher Mary Angela Buffo of Anada Yoga in Southampton where I practice. These are of her two totems, Bear and Humpback whale. This piece also holds a double meaning on a more spiritual level- in that this was a gift for Mary's 50th birthday (hence the name "Crone Bear") A celebration of life moving into the last of a triad cycle. Mary will also be getting this inked on her skin (truthfully one of the highest honors an artist can have in my opinion- a permanent etching of your art one ones skin!) Here's to the beautiful soul which she is.

Dendrobatidae Arcus Iris

Which if my knowledge is correct means "Frog Rainbow" in latin. I use to own a t-shirt when I was younger covered in colourful dart frogs, Also the secondary musing for this came from the thoughts of a good friend whom I associate with the woods and wilds; in particular the creatures that well in them.

"Thy Creator"

As Promised, I post non portfolio art here as well which is why I encourage all interested parties to follow this blog as you may see things you wouldn't otherwise. This is based off a beautiful dream I had where Whales were "flying" through space creating worlds in their "hearts" as they breached they stirred up cosmic dust and nebulae to create splashes of stars and dust.

* Oh and this may also be a first for some of you- is also a look at my "watermark" I use to 'stamp' my images

A Night at the Light

I tend to neglect this poor blog and rather then just add things one at a time I tend to upload in batches when backlogged artwork has accumulated to to what we artists refer to as an "art dump" That's just what I am doing here today. Let me share with you A creation I am rather proud of, as I feel it demonstrates a sense of elegant vectors. I cant say this sia fictional evenht becuase last year it was quite real. This is just my own take on the design.

Blue Otter

let it be known that I am a big fan of body art. I have only two tattoos myself, a generic pawprint on m right ankle I wish I could take off as the good old "first tattoo mistake" soon as I reached 18- and then there is my "Norse Kitsune" when I was heavily obsessed with Norse Designs and Deities, as well as my Japanese. So I figured a the time to merge the two. The latter of the two designs was inked by a very talented friend of mine Stacy Sharp of Sharp Tattoos In a "Ink for Art" trade we agreed to do Stacey was looking for an otter design. The Idea took some time to "hammer out" so to speak- as I had a finished design in my sketchpad back before many of my possessions got stolen back in summer so it all had to be reworked. Sometime later this was born. I wanted it to mimic in style an earlier personal design I did of a tribal orca for myself.

Ganesh Flow

Many updates in one day- I'm clearing the backlog to you have something to look at here and this blog doesn't collect "e-dust". This started as a sketch when I was waiting for my Yoga class to start, I arrived unusually early that day and because it was cold rather then walk and poke about NoHo I sat down and looked onto the urban garage walls of the studio. A fickle muse is funny like that at times, She pops her head out of seemingly nowhere, and inspires. Rather then focus so much on anatomy, I threw the artistic rules outside the window and went with the flow of the piece. This was originally supposed to be a sketch of Shiva truth be told! The prayer around the outside ring reads ""Lord Ganesha has a curved trunk with a powerful body. He has the brilliance of a million suns. May the Lord, remove all the problems from the actions I aim to achieve"

Freelance Work has been keeping me busy, which is good! I apologize to my viewers and followers here for lack of updates. My resolution (If I may so post here) is to create more "folio" worthy art. Dig deeper, try to find my niche in things. With that said I have a few pictures to share. The first is a tattoo design for a good friend of mine whom has a strong affinity to kestrels and humpback whales. Inspired by the Japanese crests to a degree. I find it difficult to gives images names sometimes, so I just decided to nickname this one "Sea and Sky" I well realize that birds wings don't bend that way- artistic liberties taken of course :)
