It started out as a simple doodle which was worked on to a more finished level. And, like other Skav Art works I've done, it holds out that possibility of being something more. That I could use it as a base to create a more processed and pristine piece. The danger there, though, is that it would lose that raw creative energy that it has. Putting an initial idea through that design process, chopping and changing along the way, tends to do that. You end up with something which is muted, hammered away by further process.</p><p>This is what Skav Art rejects as it focuses more on that first raw idea.</p><p>TECHFERNUM is a word which describes a hellish reality of out of control technology which torments and degrades humanity more than it does aid it. The image above depicts an insane techfernum sorcerer, harnessing "magic" he clearly doesn't understand.</p>Hermithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08481436923236272373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142514826280530577.post-5599158521787021502023-12-21T05:22:00.000+00:002023-12-21T05:22:03.163+00:00Merry Christmas 2023: DICKIE DUGGS<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Usually, a significant moment in their lives which they wish to capture. With this point in time work, I chose to do a dreamscape piece on the back of a till receipt. After all, they measure an exact point in time in where you were and what you were doing. If you look closely on the right, you'll see that it's a Poundland one. Drawing on till receipts is all very well, but they do tend to cook a bit in the laminator, darkening the printed side, but it turned out well.<p></p><p>And, just in case you were wondering what I was buying from Poundland, ironically, it was a couple of sketchbooks.</p></div>Hermithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08481436923236272373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142514826280530577.post-87076766717755633192021-08-27T00:01:00.001+00:002021-12-11T21:23:21.158+00:00Screaming Soul<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRG20I1__WiROPGx-QrLIQwINVFnTl4-Rfp-H_dceAkWLrWaMGa_ks-7zIb-uJbQir-4IoFOBCGXmfc-mNIE75H-147KEUi6g9LpMoF1x1OukUNMhnVuETwQSH1EC0sqZwjPDgvBn3x8AF/s750/ScreamingS06.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Screaming Soul" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="422" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRG20I1__WiROPGx-QrLIQwINVFnTl4-Rfp-H_dceAkWLrWaMGa_ks-7zIb-uJbQir-4IoFOBCGXmfc-mNIE75H-147KEUi6g9LpMoF1x1OukUNMhnVuETwQSH1EC0sqZwjPDgvBn3x8AF/w225-h400/ScreamingS06.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(HB pencil on 182mm x 129mm card</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">- NOT AVAILABLE -</span></div><div><br /></div><div>With this particular dreamscape piece, I did something a little different.

I wanted it to be more complementary to the distorted female figure which developed during the Rorschaching stage, so I cropped the image with photo-editing software.<p></p></div>Hermithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08481436923236272373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142514826280530577.post-26248190015601295932021-06-09T15:32:00.002+00:002021-12-15T17:28:47.944+00:00Why Can't They Just Learn English?<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h8S8y3DgF47BRB9K0k-kw8UoShVQq2H8uundMJqFn1W54GjLLBj1bt6_hLKRztU-F-OnSIDaqhyphenhyphen8KiBDlIvAyRKQZyEgNlEQK0cTUy07EtsmvXaQMjCaWawtRaECUTmkDgOxSnjXXYy9/s750/SpeakEnglish04.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="468" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h8S8y3DgF47BRB9K0k-kw8UoShVQq2H8uundMJqFn1W54GjLLBj1bt6_hLKRztU-F-OnSIDaqhyphenhyphen8KiBDlIvAyRKQZyEgNlEQK0cTUy07EtsmvXaQMjCaWawtRaECUTmkDgOxSnjXXYy9/w250-h400/SpeakEnglish04.jpg" title="Why Can't They Just Learn English?" width="250" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Fineliner on 190mm x 120mm paper)</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #ffa400;"><div style="text-align: center;">- NOT AVAILABLE -</div></span><br /><div>This was one of the more larger pieces I did last year (and by large I mean just under A5).
