I’m going to have another writing day because yesterday’s writing day was dominated by epic naps. I want to have this draft done so I can start “final” illustrations

This is going pretty well. I’m getting ink everywhere but I’ll figure it out later. I’m going to push things a bit more towards being silhouettes now

io sono l'uomo (aperitivi: insieme) #digitalart #abstractart #textart #painting
The back of a Masonite drawing board, which has been used as a work surface for painting for so long it is itself a painting. The composition is formed by four vaguely rectangular areas of color -- red, blue, white, and black -- with illegible words hand-painted across them.

The sun went from bunny being born to man biting down on a spear. #sunrise #photography #sky #clouds #landscape
A bunny head bent puking out the beginning of the sun lrise. Landscape in shadow. A firey furnace of clouds all around in oranges and purples. Light blue sky above with whispy white clouds glowing with early light. iPhone no edits. The bunny grows and so does the flow of light coming from its mouth. The furnace of clouds increases. Landscape in foggy shadow but a few city lights can be seen. iPhone no edits. The bunny was never purging, he was being born and now he’s shining and glorious white sun with fire furnace of clouds all around. Rising off the horizon is a ball of light. two cloud eye squinting and a long tail. It’s biting down hard on a long thin fire cloud.  Looks like a spear between his teeth. The sky is changing to this glowing golden light that is clinging to the light gray whispy clouds above. Everything looks smoldering.

Brightly colored abstract painting with two painted pieces of paper taped onto it. They are also abstracts, one in mostly blue and one in mostly red, with illegible words hand-painted onto them, creating their compositions.

The Aviva Building and Lendal Bridge, York. Not quite the picture I had in mind when I started the drawing but buildings of different dates, typical of York. Aviva Insurance building, 1993. Lendal bridge toll booth, 1863. Barker Tower, 14th century. #WindowsOnWednesday #pencil #drawing #ArtShare
Pencil drawing of a modern six storey building towering over a 19th century steel and masonry bridge with a partially hidden toll house next to a 14th century round tower on the riverside.

Minster Gates & High Petergate, York. The c1900 lamp post was damaged by a delivery van in spring 2022 but restored. Minerva meanwhile has presided over the junction since around 1800 after an 18th century revamp of a 14th century building. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #ArtShare
A lamp post stands at the corner of a street beside a tall brick building with a Regency period shop front. The street sign reads MINSTER GATES and is placed alongside a sculpture of the goddess Most Minerva.

Abstract text art in orange with blue and green. The words "Lui mangia una" are handwritten in muted yellow over the left side. In the lower right corner there is a blue section with a border resembling masking tape. An orange asterisk is painted over it.

From Revival: Bongscape Evil Tree Here's To Something Hidden This is from a series of acrylic paintings I had only terrible photos of. They have all been digitally restored/manipulated. #abstractart #acrylicpainting #digitalart #watercolor
Abstract in light and dark blues and white, with ochre and burnt orange features. The forms vaguely resemble something being manufactured in an assembly line.Painting of a purplish tree with huge red eyes and a grin full of pointy white teeth.Abstract digital restoration of a watercolor painting entirely in orange and reds. Kind of looks like a martini glass with a little blank sign next to it. A human face in profile and three humanoid forms so abstracted they could be rock formations. Their shadows are rendered in blue and outlined in dark blue black. The background is in strokes of pinks, oranges, and muted blues.
