Crazy Girls.

'Heaven is a Halfpipe' was created by using collage techniques.
Just because you have pastel purple hair, doesn't mean you can't be a super rad skater chick!

I enjoy drawing weird characters. I like imagining what their personalities would be like. Would they spend their days searching through charity shops for vintage clothing or would they prefer an evening of blogging? Who knows? The possibilities are endless.

When drawing these strange characters, I always give them colourful hair. Because what's better than green, purple, blue or tangerine coloured hair? Nothing, I believe is the answer you're looking for.

I enjoy drawing crazy people, because they are the best kind of people.

'Pizza Lady' drawn with permanent markers and background made using paints, pencils and collage techniques.
I used the album arts of my favourite bands for the background, because why not? Also Paramore's album 'Riot' is the best.

What are your thoughts on my drawings? 

Do you like drawing weirdos too? Because I really hope I'm not the only one.

TRXYE.

For the past year or so, I have been watching Troye Sivan's youtube videos.

He is hilarious and super talented, so when I found out he was releasing his third EP, I was ecstatic! 

TRXYE was released on August 15th and I honestly think it is one of the best things I have ever heard. The EP contained 5 songs - Happy Little Pill, Touch , Gasoline , Fun & The Fault in our Stars (MMXIV). I think my favourite is Fun, but I love all of the songs.

To celebrate the release, I decided to draw the album art.

Here are the results:

I used acrylic paints to create the album art.

Here is a preview of TRXYE that Troye posted on Soundcloud, so have a listen!



I hope you enjoyed this post, as it was a little different from my usual posts!

Leopard Print Coats & Gradient Skies

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a medium sized canvas and let my ideas explode onto it.

At the time, I was looking at Sashiko Yuen's artwork she creates under the name Wishcandy. 

Her piece 'Tender White' inspired me to paint a quirky character accompanied by a gradient sky background. 

"Leopard Print Coats & Gradient Skies"

This canvas took me around 3 hours to create and I began by sketching out a simple outline in order to make sure I could fit all my ideas on an A4 sized canvas.

Secondly, I began painting. I mostly used dark colours to create a 'grungy' vibe for my canvas, but then I decided to use a bright blue for my characters hair.

     

Finally, I added the details to my canvas:

• A leopard print coat
• Weirdo badge
• Two black and white toadstools

I hope you enjoyed this post, I hope to publish some more of my canvases soon.
