Magic in progress
I redid the top text and switched to red lead mechanical pencil since my regular was smearing too much.
I’m working with Yarka/St Petersburg semi-moist pan watercolors rather than my usual acrylics. It is nice since I messed up painting Siegfried’s face and could just it off and start again.
I need to add shading to the doves and tiger (more watercolor) and draw in tiger stripes (Higgins Neutral Gray waterproof ink or more watercolor). After that is done I’ll break out the silver leaf and decorate the duo’s vests (and prolly do the lining in silver instead of the more opaque lavender). I also need to clean up the bottom section of text too.
Updated: I scrubbed the purple vests since they weren’t working and finished up the tiger. The final shall be unveiled in the next post.
Robot = Automata Nightingale
The Nightingale's Doppleganger Sings a Song of Clockwork
This is the piece I submitted to the GR2 Robots Benefit show.
It is acrylic and marker on watercolor paper and was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Nightingale (read it online here). A musical duel/duet doesn’t happen in the actual story but I liked the contrast between the drab bird with its lively song and the glittering jeweled one with its mechanical song.
I rather like the tiny fox and octopus.
To see more work from Robots. Also check out #27; my old roommate Jarrett Quon painted a piece he called Bully.
Yay for bear costumes!
Since I had a random picture of me in my bearsuit here is a quick followup.
One year I did a series of 12 portraits of me and my bearsuit. Each one had a different style and touch. These are my favorites from the series and made it past the re-gessoing of the other boards.

Bonus: I also found this doodle I did of my costume.
