Here’s the last dip and dunk sketches, some finished at my favourite local cafe #mrsister_speerspoint Now to bring them to life with #carandache luminance.

‘ r e a c h i n g ’ coloured pencil on board 90 x 60 cm . . . Stretched to the limit,  driven to gain vision, pulling out of your roots to grasp  gnarled gums outstretched  branches grown towards a beacon, diverse and multifaceted,  yet with one upward goal.  To seek the greater, the ideal,  future’s sweet morsel,  sprinkled with spice,  paradise regained, tomorrow.   . . . #australianart #australianartist #saatchiart #saatchiartist #CarandAche #Luminance #artsmartseaforth

Only one bud and bird left to #carandache luminance within its #artsmartseaforth frame

Here's some more illustrations. 7 left.

Here’s a wip of some of the illustrations for my new children’s book Dip & Dunk about two of the naughtiness platypus brothers.

Wip with Caran d’Ache luminance waxy pencils

From the halls of La Llotja, the art school where Picasso went to in Barcelona, I drew my first sketch of 'reaching.' Now it's finally becoming alive on the wood with Caran d'Ache Luminance brilliance. It's been one of the longest times finishing off this piece. Pulling you out of your roots to grasp the sunlight, with all your gnarled gum parts focused on one vision. The feeling when what you seek is just out of reach and requires patience, or a challenge that needs to come

This project is in solidarity with my fiancé's 14 year old as she enters the social media ban for under 16s. I will join her and post here all the newest work, shows, and giveaways. Kinda like a niche community of joshie lovers. At the bottom there will always be the three links where you can shop, buy, and rent your joshie. Looking forward to hearing from you and taking this journey with you.

wip finished all the black lines now onto #carandache #luminance and then off to #artsmartseaforth for the final framing.
