Like the other one, I really like the simplicity in here, but at the same time it manages to capture your attention so very well. Love the use of your different mediums.
I don’t work as an illustrator at the moment. I teach art to little kids instead which is much more fulfilling. I do exhibitions of my own freelance work in Melbourne every year though. Thank you so much for the comments. xo

Wow, I’d love to someday see one of those exhibitions! It’s my pleasure…
thank you for the multitude of moments in time you have graciously loaned me your name…. given me some ink to sprawl mark-making, mind-maps and monsters!
Another picture about possibilities and many possible outcomes.. here is a completed picture about that “dread” starting point of every art work. The moment before any mark is made.. before you pick up the pen.. what will the outcome be ? Will it be a great work.. and satisfaction for the artist or will it hit the bin in anger and frustration.
That moment of expectation and dread that every artist knows so well is perfectly captured here.
Really, I love drawings that look like drawings, but are also sooo suggestive of space and form that you almost feel like you can pick up the pen and bottle from the page…

Great Watercolor and ArtWork….Love the thoughts …...
I love this Paul – pencil, tape, quill and ink… s the quintessentials for a wordsmith to tie bouquets of words together. Imaginative concept and wonderful work. Bravo :)
