Portrait group in Pink (& Yellow)

 This is a January sketch of the regular portrait groups I attend once a month. I used black gel pen, fineliners and pink markers on shiny paper. After scanning the picture I added the yellow tint and enhanced the pink.

  My sketches tend to be finished in the first twenty-minute session whilst others do more work in the subsequent ones. In other words my pictures are a bit impressionistic, and I also have time to draw the artists as well as the subject.

  That item at far left is part of a furniture piece but it looks a lot like a female nude profile!

Australia Day - Defy The Woke BS

 This is one of the favorites. Mick and Hoppa are on the beach on Australia Day, Ned Kelly is sunbaking, there is a cool sheila with a surfboard, a shark with an Aussie flag, a 'Tall Ship' and a nuclear-powered submarine.

I have put this one on t-shirts and I am looking at putting more images on shirts so if you are interested in owning any let me know.

   I can also customize. For example, this one would be good to have a message like 'Stuff Woolies' (given Woolworths refusal to stock Oz Day merchandise). Woolworths was most prominent there, but Aldi was also guilty and Coles insists it will have only a limited range. That leaves IGA and Foodworks that have not indulged in this woke BS.
