More pages from my latest sketchbook, number 83. Sketches have clour, final work is usually in b/w. Weird, I know.

Bad dream

Cyril Strapatsky is a character with women issues. Here he is having a bad dream. This is done after Matisse obviously. (NOT a personal favorite)

88 Rue Mouffetard

88 Rue Mouffetard, Paris, was the address of Hans Bellmer and Unica Zuern for 20 years. Both are fascinating artists, albeit not as well-known as other Surrealists. I used a photo of it as reference. It was a rather dilapitated hotel, which was torn down some time in the 1970s.

1913 Cityscape

Obviously I used photo reference here (of pre-war Rotterdam) but manipulated beyond recognition. Otherwise, why not just trace or worse, use filtered photos? 
Working on a new storyline involving the role of chance.

New Sketchbook



Painted new characters on the cover of my new sketchbook (#82) My sketches are often in full colour while the finished work is in black & white. I guess that is just me.
