It’s taken many years and a lot of money spent on a wide variety of mediums, but I’ve finally completed my first mixed media piece! Not only that, this piece was first drawn SEVEN years ago and whilst completing it this year, it has gone through 4 complete repaints but I quite like how the final piece has come out!
Due to the amount of time it has taken for me to finish this piece, I think the name is very apt.
Labour of Love, Mixed Media on canvas, 50cm x 50cm. *SOLD*
I have been an admirer of fluid art for a really long time, you know, those pieces where there is an abyss of colours all beautifully warped together and you wonder “How the hell did they do that?!”
After many, MANY failed attempts at trying to figure this out, I am really pleased with my first proper, completed abstract fluid art piece! This was completed with acrylics mixed with pouring medium, and there are so many beautiful aspects of this, along with surprising texture. I had no idea how this piece would pan out, but following the colour scheme and the final piece, I feel this is very space-like!
Galaxy, acrylic on wood panel, 40cm x 40cm. £50 – Buy now via Etsy here.
This is (sadly) the last piece I will ever have submitted to the Popzilla Gallery show in California! I’m not 100% sure they’re even running these shows anymore, but I saw zero proof that any show opening took place for this particular show, ‘Unicorns & Chimichangas – A Deadpool Tribute’; and that is kind of important for an artist when you’ve spent time and money on a piece you love!
I chose to do a mash up of Deadpool with ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ (the 2nd one for eagle eyed movie fans!), featuring a foodimal and a cutesy Deadpool riding his beloved unicorn!
‘Cloudy with a Chance of Deadpool’, acrylic and sharpie on canvas, 16″ x 12″. Buy now via Etsy here.
Everything is awesome! Well, it is when you’re Emmett from the Lego Movie – is there anyone more positive than him? i think not and i think more people could do well from being a little bit more like Emmett in their day-to-day lives!
Piece is available to buy but does not come with a frame due to the narrow nature of the completed piece.
Emmett, watercolour, acrylic and pitt pen on mixed media paper. £8 – Buy now via Etsy.
If there is ever an animated character that can pull at my heartstrings, it’s Toothless from ‘How to Train Your Dragon’! I don’t know if its his eyes, or the fact he reminds me of my cat, but those films always get me going!
in celebration of the third instalment released this month, here is my illustration of Toothless! Piece is available to buy and comes with a frame and cardboard mount.
Toothless, acrylic, watercolour and artist pitt pen on mixed media paper. £10 – Buy now via Etsy here.
