Hey Kids!
I can't stop it! It seems I've lost the OFF switch and the CREATIVE OUTPUT meter has gone Haywire! Haywire!Needless to say, gave birth to a few more watercolors and a full fledged mini painting that will make you at least smirk!
Hewey:
Ever since i was a wee one, it was comic books and Greek and Roman and Sumerian and Norse and Inuit myths and legends...art History books supported and rewarded those who knew the myths, so i would totally geek out and draw my own versions or studies of great works of art,hoping it would rub off.And comic books...
Sneaky:
Those are Greek Amphora Jugs,there's a lot at the newly refurbished Getty museum...My friend James from our Art Dept got me in! I was in Heaven! Talk about geeking out! His wife would crack up watching me fawn over these exquisite works! I really dig the flatness and graphicness of Minoan Paintings,Greek Vase Paintings,Aztec Codex's,Persian Miniatures,Illuminated Manuscripts-Dark Ages,Russian Icon Paintings and the Carved Images on the Wu Family Tomb-Han Dynasty...All of them have a flatness and real forced perspective to it...Also the emotion and drive of the figure is expressed more in the shape, the form of that figure...
Sneaky:
I think you nailed it a bit with Minoanesia...Maybe pre-Lemuria or Crete...
4WDtiki:
You will be STOKED at the amount of work I'll be bringing!
Spring Cleaning!!!
Thanks to you all for visiting and for the good vibrations!
Had a Watercolor Burst the past few days and just thought
i'd share! I'll have a couple folders filled with
Sketchbook pages/drawings/watercolors all available for adoption!!
First one is a Nighttime dream Journey of this fellah!

the next one is just DorkyFun, but it made me grin...
KU-ZILLA!

Here's a Moai on a Misty Morning (sorry it got cut off)

Warrior, this one is a theme/guy i love to paint!

and we'll finish off these watercolors with
another Boatman,a Fisherman this time!

And here's my favorite of the batch...
Uncle Four-Eyes, so to speak..
I imagine this is how I look to small children!

Anyways, that's it for now! More even NEWER stuff soon!
Thanks for peeking in!
