"Deconstructed zebras." Freecut zebra silhouettes in cartridge paper, collaged onto card and striped fabric.
Update:
Week 45: Zebra II.
"What's black and white and red all over? A sunburned zebra and a newspaper." Freehand sketch of a zebra in black Sharpie with a watercolour wash and collaged newsprint. I found an ironic headline to suit this big news week.
Freehand outline, cut with scissors from black card, and pieces glued down, collage-style, onto A4 white card, to enhance the face's axis of symmetry. This cutting style is called Notan.
Week 41: Black + White
Update:
People liked my giraffe finger puppet a few weeks ago, so here's a zebra. Cut from two pieces of watercolour paper, markings drawn with a black "Stain" Sharpie. One finger is draped in thin black cloth and becomes the nose:
Week 41: Black + White IIPygar, the blind angel from Barbarella. Black Artline marker and white Signo pigment ink on watercolour paper, with real feathers collaged onto black card:
Week 41: Black + White III
Week 17: Horse I and II
Horses and Seahorse in double-ended black Sharpie on acrylic backgrounds over primed canvas miniatures. Detail in metallic gold Signo pigment ink. Horses are based on a sculpture displayed in the foyer of the Manning Building, Pitt Steet, near Central Station, Sydney CBD. Seahorse is from a photograph I took at Darling Harbour Aquarium.
Updates: I saw a giant permanent marker in a discount store and had an idea to try sketching a zebra with minimal pencilled guidelines. I'm quite happy with the result. It's huge in comparison to the miniatures!
Week 17: Horse III - ZebraZebra sketch inked with 7mm "extra broad" black permanent marker, with watercolour muzzle and background on A3 art paper. I also had a burning idea for a cartoon:
Week 17: Horse IV - Washing day at the pantomimeDouble-ended black Sharpie (no pencil lines!), plus watercolour on white primed gesso canvas sheet.
