Butterfly
This is the original piece that I took my avatar from. He’s about 25×20cm, watercolour etc on canvas. There is iridescent leaf applied to the wing panes but can’t see it in the photo.
He is…sneaky.

He lools sneaky…and cheeky! – love him – It does’t matter that we can’t see the irridescence, he knows its there – that’s why he looks so pleased with himself.

Rebs O
cute! great character! tho i would feel unsafe with the fact that he can fly.. wouldnt know what he would get up to
Firedrake
He flies. But he’s a bit tubby as you can see. So he flies quite close to the ground.

Donna Huntriss
I love your work! You remind me of Brian Froud’s “Labyrinth gobiln” illustrations. Love it!
KellyThomas
oh the labyrinth is firedrakes secret place of birth… maybe her dad is really Bowie ;-)
i love the fact that this guy is tubby, what a character. his arm gives him a mad scientist kind of look.
Firedrake replied
My dad? Ew! I used to have a crush on Jareth..when I was young and innocent and the tight trousers didn’t scare me.
KellyThomas
haha. tight trousers and bowie will ALWAYS be hot and not scary. well ‘always’ for another 5 years any way ;-)
Firedrake replied
Heehee! I watched it so many times when I was young. Then I saw it again at about 19…the tights…the horror
James Lillis
This is unbelievably cool. Where did this little dood get his headgear made? Nothing wrog with David Bowie in tights… I think. When you’re David Bowie you can get away with that kind of stuff. It would have broken most men.
Firedrake replied
I believe the headgear is standard issue :)
Yes I agree, David Bowie is in a league of coolness unattainable by most mortals!
spiderflux
i like this.
Tim Gourley
Awesome… one of the most original talents I’ve ever seen.

Firedrake replied
Thanks! I used watercolours, pastels, conte crayons, ink pen, and iridescent pigments on the leaf panes.
Harald Gick
Wow!
SusanSanford
Cool piece, I like your obsessions.
kathibook
Any chance of getting your portfolio available as tee’s?? Or at least this one as a tee? I went to buy it as a gift…well two of them actually…and no tee’s on the menu. Any chance that if you get this comment you might be able to do it in the next 24 hours? I’m keeping the shipping deadlines in mind. Your work is so perfect for high quality graphic tees…but you must charge high!
piscari
Actually, why an elephant can not fly? It can!)))
Firedrake replied
Haha…yeah I reckon too :)
Marilyn Baldey
Georgous little creature, I am really glad that you chose it for your symbol as it is a marvellous advertisment of your work.
valandsnake
great expression on his face. Love him!
