Fallen Kings

Oh…something bad must have happened.

Another set of 3 canvases – watercolour, chalk pastel, ink pen, metallic pen and silver leaf, each canvas is 15cm x 10cm – I’ve created a composite for RB.







I make composites of these sets so I don’t fill my folio (and people’s activity monitors!) – if anyone wants to buy one of these on their own, let me know!

Fallen Kings belongs to the following groups:

    Excellent work!

  • Adam Stone

    Adam Stone, 4 months ago

    This is very good indeedy. I love your style and adore your work… :-)

    Your characters are loveable, the way you use colour is masterful and the stories you tell are compelling. I always look forward to seeing your newest work and this one has become a favourite! I cant wait to see what you’re working on now. Very well done.

  • Brian Towers

    Brian Towers, 4 months ago

    Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown – in this case it looks pretty painful. You must get a lot of pleasure in creating your own creatures. I think you beat my record for using so many mixed media in one picture – but it works so well.

  • Belinda Leopold

    Belinda Leopold, 4 months ago

    Beautiful ;)

  • kipishiux

    that’s so cool! I like them much.

  • Tallulah

    Wow, these images really pack a punch. So tragic but what great art work. The red is fantastic and I just love the blood splatters, so well done. But…Poor guys. : (

    Such amazing talent you have!

  • Jewd

    Jewd, 4 months ago

    This has such emotion, gently expressed, I feel sympathy for the fallen Kings….beautifully done…

  • Chris White

    Chris White, 4 months ago

    This reminds me of the time I saw a wombat that had been hit by a car.

    I nearly cried. I love those belligerent little bastards.

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Chris White’s comment, 4 months ago

    The only time I ever saw a wombat was when I nearly ran over it in Tassie…swerved to avoid its big hairy bum!

    poor little darling

  • BLYTHART

    BLYTHART, 4 months ago

    Stop killing off your characters at once .. we love them so much :))

    How was I not informed of this new work of yours? I either missed it, or RB haven’t been telling me what one of my favourite artists has been doing.

  • lurline

    the blood does look good
    i think these bad little buggers might have deserved it
    interesting that the greedy little beggars didn’t lose their crowns even in death
    when it comes to beakfaces, nothing is to shifty
    love your work

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Peter Coleman’s comment, 3 months ago

    Yes, shifty and shady!

    Who’s responsible????
    Great blood splatters! God, I sound a bit like a ghoul, don’t I?

  • Liesl Yvette Wilson

    Liesl Yvette W..., 2 months ago

    By the way…. can i be cheeky and ask if you could sell “the Curious Beastery sign.”
    iLOVE that! Its my favorite of your work!

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Liesl Yvette Wilson’s comment, 2 months ago

    Thanks Liesl! Funny you should say so…I’ve had several people say the same thing. It’s actually not a painting (yet!) – it’s some sketches I put together and coloured in photoshop.
    Though I think I have to start painting some beasts with machines like this guy!

  • Liesl Yvette Wilson

    Liesl Yvette W..., 2 months ago

    cool that would be great. And, hey…we don’t care that it a photoshop sketch thingy! Bring it on!
    Oh and what’s his name????? Have you read “teh doubtful guest”? You would love it!

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Liesl Yvette Wilson’s comment, 2 months ago

    Haha, thanks for the idea! I’ll have to google that book :)
