he had a distinct advantage

Ink and watercolour on paper, 5x7 inches. The original drawing is sold.

Most of my ideas come from everyday life. For example: my son has been taking tennis lessons, and I couldn't help but think that many of the rackets looked rather large compared to the young, small players. Hence the tennis racket to player size ratio in this drawing, which is not really about kids playing tennis.

art just is

Signed 8x10 inch prints available.

This is something I madly typed into twitter last week, and it seemed to ring true for many people.

Art is everywhere. It can be anything, and everything. To try to define it is futile. I think it's even hard to properly define creativity, or figure out the mechanics of it. I've sat through many classes in university, through dizzying discussions about what art is, exactly. And everybody is usually left with more questions than answers. I think we can agree on what it isn't, and on what it gives us. It breathes life into us. It's undervalued, yet highly necessary. It's a distraction. It's a calling. It gets us into trouble. And we love it.

There are many more things I could write about this, but I just want to press the 'publish' button on this post and get on with making more art.

everything wants to be a unicorn (part 2)

Everything wants to be a unicorn, even hairbrushes. I like the idea of reducing the essence of the unicorn down to just its horn. Besides, I'm no good at drawing horses. (BTW I've done a series of unicorn things before). I ended up making 23 drawings, but I've only posted about half of them here. I don't want to overwhelm you.

All of these are ink and watercolour on paper, 5x7 inches.

Some of the drawings are still available. Check the shop to see which ones are still there.
