This section displays some additional forms of my artwork that I am (or have been) engaged with.
Revelationary
A realist experience of beauty in the spectacle of nature.
My landscape photography is captured in the wild and minimally adjusted. Our reality is decorated with living masterpieces; taking note of the gallery every so often is essential. I have made a life centred around being available to moments of magic. When I capture something, it's because a scene has called out to me, something quiet but resounding. This harmony, for me, encapsulates the meaning of life. My approach is to offer the closest representation of the scene I witnessed, just as it appeared. In my view, the magic of nature is plenty on its own.
Wholesome Sexy
A playful perspective of feminine sexual expression.
Sex-positive portrayals of the integrated feminine: An unbridled force of nature and fantasy. Drawn with pencil on watercolour paper and then scanned & coloured digitally: To behold a woman's figure revealed can inspire awe, captivation, passion, and even comfort. The body/self-images of women have faced a lot of distortion in culture, but most women want to be valued, respected, and revered. These artworks are my portrayal of healthy and sexually integrated feminine individuals.
Modern Gods
A bridge between past and present mythos.
Digital re-works of classical artworks: When we connect the gods of today with those of the past, a doorway opens. Modern Gods is a collection of digital re-works incorporating classic art pieces and modern-day figures of worship. The new items I introduce to the scene are taken from photos or painted digitally. In either case, I spend a fair amount of time stylizing the imagery to fit it seamlessly into the overall artwork.
Seedie & Teddy
A photographic journey of two mice that are loving life.
The photographic adventures of two felt-spun mice that can't get enough of life. I started doing this to connect with my nephew and niece, who live far from me. They named the mice, and now I catalogue their adventures with photos :)
Nothing can divide us.
It's always better together.
Even mice contemplate eternity from time to time.
Get a little pep in the step!
There is always something to behold.
Tending to the garden is a summer favourite!
It's a date!
The journey IS the reward.
Sometimes the conditions are perfect.
There's magic everywhere
Always crack the window before getting cozy.
There's always plenty to sea.
Some things are just plane awesome!
Romance never gets old.
We're really lichen this hill!
We love feeding our friends!
Sensual Minimal
A delicate exploration of the feminine figure, Acrylic, ink, pencil or digital brush: Forms are messages decoded in our minds. The meanings are subjective, yet they shape our reality. These are works from my "Gaudesse" collection. When I had less time to do full-fledged colour drawings, I started thinking about the elemental energies I engage with when drawing female subjects. The result was an artwork that revolved more around the simple pleasures of what makes the feminine form feminine.
Pidgin Quixote
The humorous & often insightful expressions of Pidgin Quixote, digital vector artwork: A magical pigeon appeared one day and reminded us to lighten up a bit.
-
The idea of Pidgin Quixote is inspired by a particular pigeon from Honolulu, Hawaii. When my friend Tone and I saw this creature, we noticed it had a unique style of approaching the females. He was conscientious and patient, choosing the right moments to inch closer to a female beside him on a branch. He didn’t puff out his chest or chase her around. He read the situation, approaching warmly and honestly. In the end, it landed him the lady! We have since drawn inspiration from this regal bird. He has become a healthy reference point for authentic birds and human living. Pidgin Quixote reminds us to take charge and live bravely.
One-Offs
Sometimes, I need to break out of the mould of my practiced work and just do something random and fun. Below is a sampler of pieces I just had to put on my site ^_^
