Did some ink studies for “Valley of the Dolls” today. It was fun working in ink again, as it had been a long while. Due to my love affair with the pencils I use I tend to neglect other mediums for long spells. I love working with ink though, its a very expressive and bold medium. Will try to work some more ink studies for this piece. I am happy with a few things that came out in the clouds and tree for these. Small, simple, quick but successful studies.
Finished working on “Olive Hates Her Kitchen Wallpaper” today. Think I’m done with it for now. Don’t have any plans to paint it or develop it into something else. Of course that may change.
You can buy this original drawing from my online store
Now that Olive is a little more developed I decided to take another run at “Olive Hates Her Kitchen Wallpaper”. Still more work to go on it but I think its a big improvement.
