It's a doodle of the singer Adele, done from a picture in a magazine with a biro and a sharpie. I'm a great believer that it's all about practice rather than fancy tools. I even sold it and made some giveaways with the money...
wanted to ask you kinda this... cause they look .... sellable, marketable. the fact that you've made gibs with that money means you're little nuts. and that's rrrreally good. :D
you also say "biro"? thought wasn't so widely known... spotted Adele from eyes, they're perfect...
and yes, i do believe that too. a huge powerful computer can't do what you've done with that biro.
Yeah, it's all a bit weird. I started drawing because I love comics and so I started making my own comics. They were kinda popular but I ended up quite ashamed of how they looked. I think you have to be very critical of yourself to progress as an artist but emotionally it's a difficult balancing act.
I ended up doing a lot of commissions because I was short on cash. First adult commissions and later mostly pets - but I always found dealing with customers quite stressful. Later I put a bunch of my doodles up on Etsy and was really surprised by the results. I've shipped stuff all around the world from Norway to the US. The picture I've attached of David Bowie I sent to Berlin, somebody saw one of my biro doodles and asked for a huge version so I did this with markers and paint on a huge sheet of card and shipped to them. I did Mohammed Ali for a boxing gym in Baltimore the same.
And yeah, selling doodles felt a bit like free money so I did often use it for giveaways!
Now I want to do my own thing rather than the commissions. I've got a few galleries moving some of my stuff and I've sold some prints and want to do more of that. But real life often gets in the way of my plans, even though I'm in no position to complain overall, and besides I'm totally rambling anyway...
thanks
