50 Abstract Faces Art Challenge
If you have read any of my social media posts, you might have seen that we have a puppy. And boy, is he tiring. He gets us up several times during the night to go out to the toilet. I have been feeling so jaded during the day that I have made very little art. To try...
Ship Faced Quirky Surreal Doodle Pop Art
The idea originated in my sketchbook from an idea to create 2 little characters sitting on a little boat. I was also exploring the idea of whether the painting could still read as a face if one of the eyes was replaced by a house. A first I struggled with a title,...
Meowsers Quirky Art Painting

Big Personality Painting of a Small Dog
