Art: Fantasy art from sketchbook

This is mostly inspired by my dream after watching Edward Scizzor hands. So maybe I should really just credit my inspiration to Edward Scizzor hands fullstop. It's a sketch done with charcoal, pencil and watercolours.

Painting: Dawn will follow

There's a mystery to those first rays of light that illuminate the shadows, chasing away the heaviness of night. The air is crisp, dew laden, calm but carrying an of anticipation for the new day ahead.

                      "The past is the begining of the beginnign and all that is and                                                       has been is but the twilight of the dawn"
                                                                       H. G. Wells

Fanart: Breaking Bad Teddy

Breaking Bad a show that can be summed up in one word AMAZING! In ways it ruined TV for me, in a good way. Every show I tried to watch afterwards I subconsciously compared to Breaking Bad. None stood the test (with the exception of HBO's Girls being a close second).

The pink battered teddy presented a very striking image. It reoccurs at certain points throughout the series. My interpretation is that it represents Walt's ego, however if I was to re-watch the series again, I might change my mind on this. The various ways this motif can be interpreted is why I find this little teddy bear so fascinating. Read more on Wikia at breakingbad.wikia.com

He was crying out to be doodled.

Doodle: Futuristic cityscape

Will humans be able to successfully establish life on Mars?  With so much debate around this issue, I've found myself thinking about whether a human colony would be able to survive in the long term on the red planet. Will they be able to build a society, culture and new livelihood? What sort of people would volunteer themselves to start this colony?...sooooo many questions to think about...time for a cup of tea and a doodle.

Lady with the Third Eye

Another fantasy drawing done with sharpies. I included a little owl because who doesn't love those magical creatures?

Drawing: Light and dark fairy

Most stuff tends to have good and bad sides, pros and cons. But if you look really hard, something good can come out of almost everything. This was what I was pondering while drawing this with sharpies. Do you agree? :)
I dug this drawing out of the pile because I thought the rose element of it could be incorporated into a nice tattoo design. I love monochrome rose tattoos.
