    The Ethical Artist: being green & creative

    Fairly recently I decided to stop using single-use plastic to create my artworks to be more green. This sounds quite easy, but in reality it’s quite hard since so much stuff arrives in plastic, and some things don’t exist in refillable form, so I have to hack things or work around them. Case in point…

    Inktober Week 3

    This week is when the fatigue set in – specifically start of this week and towards the end of it – a combination of some rather odd fan(tasy) themed prompts, life getting in the way, and a feeling this was getting a bit too much for me. Despite that, I was determined to continue even…

    Life Drawing #36

    Watercolour can be highly variable at the life drawing sessions, but this was a good one for that. I started with drawing, as per recent times, but the Markal drawings didn’t cut it, and only a few of the charcoal drawings were even postable, and one in detail only…None of the drawings were working.
