Neil Gaiman - What a guy!

"So be wise, because the world needs more wisdom... and if you cannot be wise, pretend to be someone who is wise and then just behave like they would... and now go, and make interesting mistakes. Make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Make the world more interesting for your being here. Make. Good. Art."

Sun mandala

A dear friend of mine asked me to draw a colourful picture for her daughter's bedroom wall, this is what I came up with many, many hours later... 

The original drawing.

Simple edits on Photoshop, tidied up a bit.

Some examples of other edits I tried out, which look kinda cool...

 

These can all be printed A3, they look great. You can buy them here:

the evolving mandala

I decided I quite liked the picture as it was, in the star shape, so I uploaded it on to Photoshop and am in the process of touching it up a bit.



With the help of my little friend, Finn always by my side...



I then added some more to the original...

then finished the thing...

Pen to paper

A new drawing for my darling Aria...

Still some way to go but I think it's looking kinda pretty so far...

Huichol

Beautiful Huichol art...

Mexican art is so colourful and exciting. Even when they have a deep/dark meaning...

Brutal simplicity of thought

Stumbled upon these incredible carved book landscapes by Guy Laramee.









"So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are."

"Her multidicplinary practice includes installation, sculpture, performance, photography and video work, and is informed by her fasination with anthropoligacal aritfacts, ideas and beliefs, and plays with the bouderies of fiction and non fiction. Her work contains a strong element of humor and playfulness while questioning the authenticates of her spirituality and beliefs."
