Just a quick little time-lapse drawing of my sketchy ink/watercolour/highlight processes.
King Crimson, again.
So I had this big sketchbook plan about how the parrot was going to be an exotic type -- not the King and Crimson parrots and rosellas I grew up with -- and it just ended up looking exactly like a King Parrot with a Crimson Rosella's colouring. Anyway. This is an Instagram/sketchbook peek, hopefully I can pin down a second to scan/fix up/maybe even reproduce in larger format.
More fun later.

Jumper-cable lips
It's all happening... three days left of work, rego on the car now lapsed, life being thrown into absolute disarray... We're on our way.
This pretty girl is the shape of things to come.

Quickdraw
Just a silly, quick sketch.
Things are about to get super hectic... five days left of work and I've got to find a new car before we hit the road and head south... It should be a nice adventure though.
Prisms revisited II
.... colouring done.
Sigh.
Southern rock
Just a thing.
New for 2012
First sketch of 2012... seems like a good omen to me. Woke up, crawled out of our tent at Creekside and sat on a stump and started scribbling.
The year 2012 should be a big one, with only two more weeks left at my current job before Bay and I pack up and head to Melbourne. Also, I have to find a new car to pack the stuff into before we can go.
For almost the past five years I've lived in familiar surroundings, first in Brisbane and then back here on the farm, and so its exciting to be heading out into the big weird unknown world again... staking out new favourite cafes, restaurants and shops, new routes to run on in the morning and even different ways to drive to avoid turning across multiple lanes of traffic.
Shit man, its all going to be happening very soon.
I'll try and draw some in between.
And I've been taking lots of farming photos, mostly of dogs that seem to be appearing everywhere, so be prepared for the Christmas-NYE retrospective, coming soon.
Mother nurture
Well, I sort of blew it with the spray paint and the knives, but at least now I know not to do that again.
If I can muster the internal fortitude, I'll fix it.
She's a giant, like twice the size of an A3.
Update
Just a couple of sketchbook drawings... A proper piece, which I'm really happy with, is on its way. Keeping up with all this pre-Christmas chatter like a professional.
Mine
Man. This internet connection.
Heavy, heavy times.
we're getting there
Doin' stuff, bein' watched.
midweek
Just trying to unwind my brain... something mid-week. Because I'm lazy and busy and I swear I'm getting to work on the weekend.
Life is good, apart from Baby in the states. The puppies have come to live with me and the op-shops have been so very kind. Now to perfect an exit strategy and move to the city.
Killer hand
New one for you.

I'm happy with how this turned out, eerie as it is.
I'm super excited at the moment for my Melbourne trip in one-and-a-half weeks. It's going to be cold and awesome and baby and my sister and some puppies are there. We will be celebrating two birthdays and an engagement. Can't wait.

Sometimes the mojo is good, sometimes it's evil. I'm not really feeling this one, but here it is... It was a painful but productive experiment. Good evening.Pale owlet
Just a quick one to start the week off. Click image to view larger.Lady stardust
New work and some details... from the 'rough draft' drawing. I really dig this one, and hope you do too... Weather is perfect just now, got some adventures with baby planned for the weekend... xo
Ruby Tuesday
God this computer makes me want to die... but here we go. This ended up being not at all what I thought I was painting/drawing, but I'm happy enough.
Enjoy the weekend.
