Artists' book update... and more

The concertina book I previously posted about is complete and looks something like this:

The fruits of PVA and frustration. Cover made of heavy card, paper and water resistant book cloth.


 
"Do some vacuuming will ya?!"


Voila!

Thanks to George and Jodi for helping me out with this project.

Still lifes
Just a couple of recent still lifes in oil.


Drawing class pieces

Since I brought home a bunch of my drawings from the TAFE I thought I may as well throw some of the better ones up.

Firstly, the series of prisoner's portraits completed in different media. All innocent until proven otherwise.

Ink and watercolour
Ink and watercolour
Soft pastel on felt material

Ink: pen and brush


Oil on canvas

 The oil on canvas work was painted at home but it is a continuation of the series.

Ug boots
This drawing was part of a series on abstraction, but this initial non-abstract drawing is by far the best of the lot. Pencil on paper. Yes I actually wear it.



Life drawings.
I find the quicker poses get the best out of me so most of these are 2 - 5 min poses. I might soon add a few more that I've yet to collect from the school.
