this is a great image. I love love love the use of the color to build the image. I love the scribbles used to build texture.
I love ink drips and burnt sienna pages. dirt and grunge are what I think of when I see them.
I love the black framing the torn pages of this image. The mottled purple and black. It's neat.
I loved the juxtaposition of the white hair and blue then I noticed the anchor. Love it
This is a lot different from what I usually post. It's kinda dark, kinda creepy, kind of an art journal but much more of a sketchbook than anything else. Very nice work though, even if it is creepy, it's creepy cool.
I started this page by scribbling 2 colors of watercolor crayon. I wet my brush and added gesso. I spread the gesso around liberally mixing the watercolor crayon with it as I went. I did not attempt to mix the colors perfectly. I wanted a mottled effect. I allowed this to dry completely before the next step.
Again I grabbed my brush pen, held it by the end and allowed myself to work quickly and loosely. I allowed the ink to mostly dry. It is not waterproof ink. I used my waterbrush to blur the outside edge of the border.I added more ink where I wanted more blur. I did this carefully to only blur OUTSIDE the edges and not inside the border.

I love the layout and use of layers on this page. It reminds me of a page in a magazine.
I really love everything this guy does. He asks questions that make me think. Check out his other stuff on flickr.
All I can say is wow. I haven't had a chance to see the rest of the flickr stream on this guy but so far this is really nice. I love the grittiness of it.
I love this page. Its very bright which is unusual for me to be attracted to but take a look at the center of the sun and the threads radiating out… Good stuff. Follow the flickr link to see a close up of the image.
