Four Fifths (wood print | black and white)

Four Fifths (wood print | black and white)I love sugar skulls. My idea for this drawing also inspired my idea for this entire series of drawings and a new direction for my art. I wanted to draw a detailed sugar skull and decided I wanted a sort of sun burst background but I wanted it to have a pattern texture to it. So I added a kind of antique wallpaper pattern to a sunburst of melaleuca tree bark. Made perfect sense to me. This is also the first piece that I colorized. It was too much fun

Blue Morpho

Not every death is explained

Manatee and all that he can eat

I’m glad they didn’t like the original logo otherwise I might not have made this drawing

The moment that it’s too late

So I decided to do a little art therapy and draw a flamingo in my style of drawing

They are also known as paper nautiluses and are found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world

They were happy with the logo I ended up giving them but I really liked my octopus version

And at the time I had just drawn a few flamingos for my day job and had flamingos on the brain

I combined African and Australian tribal patterns for the background to help accentuate the origin mythology

and weather

All wood prints are printed on birch finishing plywood and come ready to hang
