in motion...

haven't updated site in a while. family things and quiet time. but been drawing away. here's a few, i'll scan properly later. found a new paper from daintree, a carbon neutral recycled paper. they are awfully thoughtful in there.



i did laugh quite heartily when i drew this one....but that's probably just my sense of humour;


here's progress of a large painting i've been tackling.


friday morning in Iveagh gardens...



and i'm liking this;

things from today and blog hunting

i stumbled upon this via booooooom, an awesome blog by Meighan O'Toole, with a ridiculous amount of lovely things to see, and also in possession of a most wonderful title;

my love for you is a stampede of horses

also, loving volcano choir.

this is for colin, to help with our understanding;

distractions

been a little distracted recently. not sure why. i'm going to blame this homeopathic remedy i'm on. i've been disturbed by blank canvases. as in "they'll only get worse from here on out".

but i am happy with this one. despite appearances, i do always try to paint something beautiful. sometimes i think i manage it... though i do have an odd view of beauty...

sorry the photos aren't great...

in other news...

just to show i've not gone completely crazy, i have started and am working on a new painting.

just add water...

more pictures of the SSTN pic, and a few sketches i did for the day. personally i much prefer the sketches. will sort out the large painting soon. her head is squished...for pics of the whole day, check out only born design, aka the delectable melissa conlon, graphic designer and regular contributor to Second Square To None.

sketches and the, so-far finished, piece;

on a semi-related note, and for those who like all things hand-made and etsy-esque, here are some links to the work of the industrious canadian artist and photographer, lindsey kemp, her handmade jewellery, notebooks and knitwear and her photography.

lastly, here's another little oddity for my collection;

not really quite sure what to say about this...

musically, these days, its all mozart, the magic flute. awesome. and some wilco.

high-res images for print

i've some images for downloading on my wesite, high-res jpegs and tiffs for good quality prints. they're digital renders i done about a year ago that, some of which i'd planned on producing prints of for sale, but just never got round to. they're gathering dust on my hard-drive so i figure someone might make use of them. feel free to print them for yourself or friends. just don't use them for anything else without asking. some of them would be good up to a3 or a2, and printed on archival paper, they'd look great....i hope....

from out there

a certain mr colin, of the dublin audio/visual/anthropomorphic experience, Green Lights, recently left this clouded land for the neon glow of tokyo. no longer does he astound us with his musical whimsy, disturb us with his unpredictable on-stage convulsing. now he exposes the potential humour and wonder of divergent cultural oddities in his own little "lost in translation";
only in tokyo

oh, and there's origami...

also, was listening to this american life, a radio and online talkshow, and i feel the need to pass on a particularly funny and poignant story told by comedian mike birbiglia. his piece starts at 10.00, but the whole show's pretty interesting (joss whedon's musical number is a surprise);
returning to the scene of the crime

and from a different world entirely; fighting fish

peace.

art things and tunes

peoples, angels, busy bees saving the earth.

tunes of the week;
jape | 'gimme some more'
villagers | 'the meaning of the ritual'

also, the wonderful world of sara baume.
