Blogger no longer lets me upload images for some reason so I will no longer be posting here unless the problem ends up fixed at some point in the future!

A big thank you to everyone for visiting over the years!

But like I say I will probably not be posting here so here is a list of other sites where I am more active:

I'm not boaring you am I?

Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 3

 Here it is!  The first design for my next coloring book!

The first two coloring books are available here:

One down, thirty one to go.  I hope to finish in another seven years.  I may finish another book in the meantime though as I have several other projects I'm working on.  So stay tuned for more artwork and potentially more books!

7 Day Challenge, Drawing Animals And Leaves

 Just some things I wanted to brush up on learning to draw.  These were done with 05 Microns in different colors and the same size Uni Pins in light and dark gray.

These were all drawn from stock photos.  Here's the link list to the different stocks I used:

Salamander: https://pixabay.com/photos/animals-salamander-nature-1088057/

Rabbit: https://pixabay.com/photos/rabbit-mammal-wildlife-hare-bunny-5352643/

Frog: https://pixabay.com/photos/frog-rock-water-pond-nature-3903773/

Leaves: https://pixabay.com/photos/pile-of-leaves-leaves-fall-62808/

More Leaves: https://pixabay.com/photos/staircase-leaf-autumn-yellow-leaves-945888/

Songbird: https://pixabay.com/photos/nightingale-bird-tree-songbird-7167798/

There they are in case you want to draw them yourself, or see how they compare with my drawings.  I like linking to the stock photos.  It's good for the person who takes the picture and I think its interesting to compare them with the finished drawing and besides they're really good interesting pictures in and of themselves.

New Coloring Book!!!

 

Yes that's right!  You don't often see me indulge in three exclamation points, but my new coloring book is live!!!

Here it is, almost seven years after the last one:

 Thank you in advance for any generosity, and don't forget to spread the word!

New Picture And Update

 Here is a bird I drew with colored pencils.  Here's the wonderful stock photo I based it on:

I also have an update!  My next coloring book, Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 will hopefully be coming out next Saturday the 27th!  So yay!

Here is a link to my amazon author page so you can find it:

I Finished The Cover!

 I finished the cover for Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 and I've been polishing up the images for the interior, so now I just need to finish putting it together and finish up the intro blurbs and stuff and it'll be done!  I'm still planning on publishing it in July but I've got so much going on it'll probly be late July, like the last week or something.  I'll let you all know when it comes out. :)

Coastline With Floating Islands

 Looks like a peaceful sort of place.

New Coloring Book In July!

Another knot!  This is the final coloring page for my next coloring book, which will feature 32 coloring pages, and its also going to do double duty as the '2' in Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 on the cover.

I still have to design the rest of the cover, make sure the pictures are pristine and do layouty stuff before I can publish it so I'm planning on it being available in July of this year.  Yay!  :D

This will be seven years after the last one so I'm sorry for taking so long and thank you all for your patience.

In the meantime here is a link to the original coloring book for whoevers interested:

Of course I will continue to work on Celtic knotwork as well as other projects so stay tuned for further developments!

Celtic Spirally Circle

 

Here's another one, only two more to go before I can publish my next coloring book! 😃

Of course I still need to work on the cover and layouty stuff, so it'll be a few months.  I'm planning on publishing it sometime this year though.

Also here's a link to my first coloring book for anyone who may be interested:

Brown Mantis

 

Here's another mantis! :)

Stock Image

Celtic Circle

 

Here's another one! :)

Six designs or so to go!

Forest Interior

 

Here's a little woodland scene I drew.  Needless to say a color version is on the way, it may take me a while though.

Critters With Spirals

 And here's another one!  Only seven or so more to go before I finish my coloring book.  I think spirals are good, I'd love to do more with spirals.

A couple more sketches

A couple more sketches lately.  Hatching and cross-hatching are becoming more instinctive although of course there is still so much more to learn.

Another Celtic Knot

 

Pretty fancy!  :)

Dog-Bird-Plant-Snek!

 I've been wanting to do a design for a long time where there's a dog a plant a bird and a snake all tied into each other where each one is tied up with the other three and I finally managed it!

I did another design back in 2020 that also had all four elements as you see here:

And its very good, however the bird and snake don't directly tie in with the dog or man.  It does have a human however which my new one doesn't so now I need to work on one with all five elements: man, dog, bird, snake, and plant all directly intertwined, preferably with some spirals, geometric and key patterns as well.  That would be the holy grail!

Just Another Knot

 Just a knot this time, not even any zoomorphs.  Sometimes you got to have some nice simple ones in between all the complex ones.

And yet another one!

 

:)

Another Celtic Knot

 And another Celtic knot.  I'm about halfway towards having enough Celtic designs for another coloring book, so at the rate I'm going I should have enough designs for it in another five or six years.  But I'm hoping to speed up a bit.

The old Celtic knotwork coloring book is here by the way, so you'll have something to look through and color while you're waiting.
