Getting some new pieces in frames for next month’s show. Just the labels and hanging cords to sort now. Most things seem to be the correct way up for a change.

In my attempt to get a better range of non-graphic art on my feed, tried using ‘fine art’. Eek!

Came across this post again. One of the useful things of yon soshuls is seeing one’s stuff in a different context. Happy seeing half-decent pieces whilst considering bothering some new ones.

Just started work again on a very slow, old painting. Heading into the ‘wtf’ phase of seeing where it heads off on its own. Still very slow, though. #art

Despite all the crazy angriness of the world, I have just found that there is a whole section here just dedicated to ‘Moss’. A visual and emotional Raag Megh!

I have been trawling through old images to winkle out new mysteries. Pretty thankless, but occassionally the gods of twiddling knobs seem to listen. I usually work on iPad and then fine tweak on a larger screen. Photos not photos. Landscapes not landscapes. Lies, all lies.

Some sunlight warming my studio space makes a nice change. Still only takes an hour before the chill gets to me!

First post here. Photos seem to be good quality but only manga/ digital art so far. Any old messy artists in here? ( a very early stage WIP below)
