#KirbyArtTributes

No, I'm not dead, just travelling and resorting to the ol' sketchbook during pub breaks. Observe in wonder at my drunken takes of the King's creations over the month of August!

"I'm With Stupid!"

I'm putting together an "Art of..." book and the original of this had Spidey in it. There's a few key images that I'll have to drop for rights issues, but there's always a spin on the original.

It's the Most...Wonderful Time... Of... The Year...

GINGER SNAPS!

Colour Me Nouveau

Just the start on this one, I'll update it as I go.

 

 

 

Sketchy sketch!

It Feels Like the Year to Give Back

 My good deed for the...well, my good deed.

Here's the online store: www.refractionexhibition.bigcartel.com. Note that there won't be any shipping through the store, but all prints will be run at once and delivered to the gallery of your choice in the 'Specific Instructions' window when cashing out. Posted items can be arranged by getting in touch through the store.

It's Not Like Me to Get All Christmassey...

      ....But the REFRACTION Charity artwork is all done and I'll be getting the venue list and website store up soon.  With these prints priced to move I'm hoping to raise some serious coin for the BC SPCA over the holidays.  For a look at all the prints (except for this one that will replace the current dark blue one...hey, it didn't reach the bar!), here's a link to the temporary site I set up to show tentative exhibitioners;   https://boardguy.wixsite.com/my-site?fbclid=IwAR39Onco3d8GZrBT_m9A2ciMkdo5gin6Oz3-X5csg-5LFzOoHi4rzilk1Tg

      Also today, I'm adding my Instagram link to the dashboard (Daddy's getting with it!)

The End of the Rainbow

      Finally! 4 or 5 swings at bt, and I Finally got the green image I  was searching for! I know work's impending, so I had to persevere and get this sucker done before being buried again. Time for the business side of things.

 

Blood Orange

 

Whew! This one took a few swings.  I did two other complete passes for Orange, and neither of them hit right.

Oops...

 ...the reflection of trees in the background aren't upside down.  I swear, there's always something.

      Time seems to be permitting to play a bit, so I'm going to follow this trail of thinking and make another 5-6 of these coloured deco posters and have some exhibitions when things open up.  They'll be printed in a limited run to raise money for something, though, at the moment, I don't know what yet.

I 've GOT to Get Back to Real Work One've These Days...

 

Run Awaay!

 Another angle on this concept. Clearly, there's a story here, but I don't think I'll be getting to it for a while.  It's just nice to get away from the photobashing for a bit and cut loose.

Back to Photobashin'

 Everyone's gotta tick off the "Robot Woman"  box at some point, right?

Moon Wolf!

 ...Or Man-Wolf for the few in the know.  Don't even start on the full moon shining on the moon, it's GOTTA be there!  #Februwolfy was a hoot, and a good excuse to blow out the drawing pipes, now it's back to the photobashing, I guess...

Zombie Wolf!

      Through a combination of getting hit by some board work and sending the novel out (!) to prospective literary agents, I've got small windows for creativity that prevent me pursuing more photobashes for a bit.  Along comes #februwolfy! A post a day of werewolves on FB is just what the doctor ordered to bang out some quickies without too much labor. (I love the final effect of the novl illustrations I'm doing, but man, it's a miserable process to me).  This guy's gel pen & sharpie, with a tweak in photoshop, full desk time...about an hour. Gotta love that.

The Hunt

 God, this style is tedious, but the results are rewarding.

A Cheers to my Local

 A wee change of pace from the writing that got a LITTLE out of hand...

 

Old Town...

 ...I'll try to resist posting EVERYTHING I come up with, but forging new ground is pretty exciting.

Using That Covid Lockdown Time

      Here's something new hopefully coming down the pipe... a book! Not a comic, but a BOOK.  A book book.  I had started the project when Covid hit, and found myself with a solid two months to run with something already rolling, which is always the way you want to be positioned.  Nothing worse than staring at a blank page (or screen, in this case).

     The initial idea was to go YA with illustrations, but the final project's become a bit more intricate than that in the end. I suppose these are the decisions best left to agents, should any deem the product worthy of their time.  A wonderful experience so far, let's see if it finds a publisher. Hopefully, more news to follow!
