Captain Skav

(0.5 pen on 160mm x 125mm paper)

- NOT AVAILABLE -

I've decided to try my artwork, and my luck, by selling NFTs on the OpenSea platform. I drew this character to mark the occasion. I don't know how it will go, or if I'll make anything from doing so, but at least I'm not trying to fob buyers off with lazy instance imagery that would make even Andy Warhol blush.

What buyers of my NFTs will be getting is a one-off with each of my works, as I won't make any other from them. It would be the original digital representation of the work.

So, if you're interested, click on the link and have a browse!

His Parrot Wife Said Nothing

A6 booklet of Dreamscapes

 

I decided to use another of the small, 8 page, sketch booklets I'd made and filled it with dreamscape works using a HB pencil. As with all dreamscapes, they varied wildly in subject and size. One of the smallest was the one below, which I thought would also make a good title for this blog post:

 

"His Parrot Wife Said Nothing" (38mm x 20mm)

 

And yes, it really is that small, but a good little image. You tend not to question what's going on in them. You just bring the image out, whatever it ends up being. They can be surreal or abstract, mundane or insane. That's the beauty of doing them. I chose this second one from the booklet, because it was more stylised in its appearance, and I liked the resulting look of it. I did consider cutting it out from the booklet and finishing it off as a standalone work, but decided to leave it as it was:

 

"The Pickpocket" (53mm x 43mm)
