I’ve been art-ing up a storm in the last two weeks and I wanna tell you all about it..!
I decided to do a portrait of Nelson Mandela to reflect on his life. I watched a few documentaries, listened to what his grandchildren and Obama say about him and thought about people who spend years in prison. I also watched The Hurricane and am seriously considering trying to get a pen pal with a life sentence.
“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” – Nelson Mandela
I also did some Christmas card illustrations:
I’m not sure if it was the fact that I spent a lot of time inside, but I definitely giggled to myself a few times while drawing the mermaid and squirrel ones.
………which are for sale by the way for $2 or a deal for a bunch. (email me)
Since I’m on a photo-doc roll here’s a commissioned painting I also finished on tuesday. I would love to do more portraits of musicians. Watch it grow…..
And finally:
Now to finish my christmas gifts………..
Cheers,
