I`m doing a post about ART!

Hello all!

I was rummaging through my art boxes in the basement the other day and came across my old drawings pile. Oh the nostalgia! Aside from a ridiculous amount of Sailor Moon fan art and various other anime style doodles (i had a thing for it like 10 years ago), i found a few interesting drawing i had done when i`d discovered Chinese Inks & Brushes. I even took a class!

Anyways these kind of stood out to me, and i like the style that popped out regardless of my inexperience with the medium. Blue Singy Man

Here we see a blue singing-type guy man thing! I think he`s funky and that blue suits him. As you can see, i was experimenting with color a little. Actually i really like the way this all looks i think i`ll pick this up again. Maybe do a creepy style 9to5 Crew pin up like this… yeah.

Smokey Tentacles!This one i really love. Like a lot. I have been planning to paint something like this on my bedroom wall lately. Maybe not in black though. Anyways, i like the shadowy grey splotches behind the tendrils, i think it really adds to the creepy vibe feel. And below here is a weird eye sketch! I don`t like the lashes so much, but the skin lines, shadow and eyebrows look neat i think. Aaannnnd for some reason i drew a rather dark looking Harry Potter. He has a haunted look i find interesting. Anyways that`s it for today! I`ll have more Retro Sophie Art for you all next time 🙂

It is time for another installment of “Pictures of Kanye, Words of Noam”, where we look at pictures of Kanye West and read the words of Noam Chomsky. I wonder which Kardashian in Chomskey’s favourite?kanye and noam irrational choices

 

I like to leave the closing remarks to Kanye:

Hurry up with my damn massage
Hurry up with my damn ménage
Get the Porsche out the damn garage
I am a god

Thank you, Kanye.

Tattoo Cover Art

I have to say, i really appreciate the work tattoo artists put into cover up jobs. It`s not easy.

My neighbor recently asked me if i would help him out and design something that would cover up a tattoo he now regretted having. He wanted something that meant a lot to him, and that was a constant in his life, unlike the impulsiveness that inspired the original. So he decided he would like music to be a theme if at all possible. We went over a gazillion photos to see the different style he was drawn to, and the ones he preferred to avoid, and i was left to start sketching.

But… i`m not a tattoo artist! So i turned to a couple of friends who are, and who`s art i very much admire, and requested any advice they could spare for me. They were super helpful, detailed and without them i`m sure my neighbor would have ended up with a great big mess!

So here is my first attempt at tattoo cover art. I scanned every step of the piece in case i screwed up >.<

I chose a paisley background because the guy is a bit of a hippy hahahahha! I was all nervous he wouldn`t like it, but he loved it and didn`t want me to change a thing! So he`s taken an appointment and getting it done as soon as possible. I can`t wait to see how it turns out!

Weekends are all one day anyways. So technically, this is still a valid Friday post.

Here is a commission cartoon thing i was asked to do… It was kinda fun to draw. I don`t always like commissions, but this one i liked. Maybe i`ll start taking more. I was to draw this lady for her birthday. She is a classy girl and proud to be British!

 

A Beach For Kami

Some of you may know already, but my brother is moving back to Montreal this weekend. That`s right, both Ricards in the same city once more.

My niece, Kami, requested that i please please please paint a mural of a pink beach in her new bedroom, with a pink sky and pink water. She is 8 years old… in her opinion everything should be pink. On the other side, my brother was saying there was no way we could use that much pink. Well, i found a way to compromise in my design to make the both of them happy. So i sketched it out and sent it out to them for approval.

It seems both were quite happy with it! So i spent about 8 hours straight on it yesterday. Let me tell you, my arms are sore. It had been a while since i`d done a mural. But yes so i managed to complete the whole thing in a day, as well as painting all the trimmings the same shade as the sky, as well as a neat border for where the head of her bed will be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think she will like it, but i am hoping she will flip her shit hahahaha i want her to love it!!!

Kanye and Noam: Passive Acquiescence

Baby West’s not here yet, and it is time for another installment of “Pictures of Kanye, Words of Noam”, where we look at pictures of Kanye West and read the words of Noam Chomsky.

Kanye’s new album, from what I’ve heard thus far, really tells the story of how hard his life must be. The answer, is, I assume, not very hard*.

*it’s okay, gone and say it out loud. “That’s what she said.” Feel better?

Kanye and Noam: Dirty Bomb

Noam Chomsky has yet to set the street date for his next track, but it is time for another installment of “Pictures of Kanye, Words of Noam”, where we look at pictures of Kanye West and read the words of Noam Chomsky.

I would love to see a television series where Kanye West, playing himself, is the leader of an anti-terror tactical squad. That would entertain me.
