Quirky, fun imagery inspired by nature, imagination and play

An illustrated pursuit of illustration

My journey of 10,000 illustration hours began in photography, pixels were morphed into digital art, expanded via pigments in traditional arts and graphic design to build and hone the skills required for my imagery creation and layout design. 

Art is weird

Well, I know mine is, but what isn’t these days?

Making images- art- illustrations- a picture on a page- whatever you call it, is such a process of the moment.

The method evolved by the artist- the topic chosen by current thoughts, desires or requirements- or something weird.

Mine seems to be the latter, most of the rewarding art pieces I am most proud of, are done during phases of intense play and enjoying the process. Loving the colours and the light shining about on the different mediums and combining on the page. And usually, more planning seems to result in a more boring result.

Most results are a bit ‘meh’ and I’m not really sure where the weird mood that is expressed on the page comes from when I am in such a state of fun.

I toss it aside on the recycle/ re-psyche pile and get on with the next one.

Looking back at them I find ideas of how to change/ improve/ finish them, and when they are done, the mood in the imagery seems very appropriate for the moment. Such as this one above, one that has evolved over the years, but today the mood certainly does relate.
