'cause mum says no

Metrik, a guy over at stencilrevolution, did a piece with clouds. had to try it out for a sketch. saw this guy at the train with a breathing mask. one of those white once. one scary piece of meat I tell you.

edit: I'm supposed to be texture and whatnot but haven't seen much of that lately, have we now? fixed.

creative enough?

before anyone jumps the wagon, a jellyfish doesn't have a brain. that said.. creative enough or not funny at all? trying to go the extra mile, not just something I make 'cause I find it worthwhile. I could try to up my skills or I just go with a subtle second meaning. I prefer the later, not just 'cause I'm lazy.

edit: this is turning into one of those epic pieces that never ends. I'll have to wrap this up and move on.

okapi: rainbow

me messing around with colours. the image is quite big, so for details click on it. need signature and somewhat more then it's all done.

stock picture by darkrose42-stock over at deviantart.

obviously I wasn't quite done

there. these are the last you'll see of this stencil in a long, long while. will complete the last one with a halftone pattern covering the okapi and using the same halftone pattern making a shadow on the ground that fades out to the left.

image quality isn't the best today but well... was one too many to clean to be really worth it. colours took a hit and some detail loss but you get the idea?

I want to take the opportunity to thank the guys over at stencilrevolution for their well grounded criticism regarding this piece. the two red pieces and the black & white have in their on ways taken in consideration what was said over at stencilrevolution. wildly appreciated.

don't be afraid to click on the images for full view. thanks.

okapi: status done

well I feel like I've reached the end of the road with this piece for the moment. time to start something new.

next up will be my shoe racket, I think.

papier maché

papier maché balloon, ink stencil and... oh yes, background texture by insrt over at deviantart.

is it a bird, a plane, no it's...

the piece has been laying around for so long that I have little else to add about it. acrylic, ink, paper, stencil and whatnot.

bugs

what title says. waiting to be finished.

clown

made a paperstencil, played a tad with acrylic and rounded of with micron pen and Sepia ink. done an installation with the same theme where the clown in his empty fist holds a papier-mâché balloon in a thread. might get round to adding that piece later this week.

currently under construction

it's exam week and I'm totally stressed out. though current project is what you can see above. low resolution version, picture is taken with my mobile phone. you take what you can get when it's only in sketch phase... as for the final version? god hope I've come around a high-res picture by then(!)

not yet finished

can't decide what piece to go with. the one to the right isn't final when it comes to quote but beside that it's a tiny tad cleaner.

well anyhow. for now, until I can make up my mind... I'll just settle for an unfinished piece.

it's a wrap
and fast it went. yay. alot happier with this piece. quote from Theodore Roosevelt.

end piece

4 color print

my ego will crush toes

well this one ended up in two versions. one is the above creation (big size on click) and the second one isn't that much of a difference to be honest. just a green dog instead of the current gray. the comment is a bit of a tribute to a friend, it's something he mentioned some days back. but the piece had another person in mind when I did it. yes, it's a girl and she's cute. I suck but well... I promise right now, next piece wont be so sugercoated.

texture, as per usual, from lostandtaken grungy christmas wrapping paper textures. got to expand my area of search but they are so good in my opinion.

on the side; should it be "if you can always be yourself" or "if you always can be yourself"? nevermind for now, someone more fluent then me can correct my bad english.

dragonfly

well doodle away I suppose, ink is a really nice technique to work with in my opinion.
