I felt like doing some random painting so I sat down with Twistedbrush Open Studio and this is what turned up. The aircraft isn't any particular type, although the Sea Fury and Spitfire came to mind while painting. It took ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=42 This is my new profile picture for Threadless.com, which I'm pretty happy with. It's sharper, brighter, and more eye-catching than my previous attempt. I also had a much larger version to post here but there was I problem: I painted it in the free version of Twistedbrush (Twistedbrush Pro Studio). ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=41 Yes, it's that time again. Not having a computer of my own that wasn't dead, and the other computer I could have used being occupied by someone else, I decided to use my trusty coloured pencils. The stripes were added at the last minute in simple photo-editing software. I try to ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=40 I recently joined threadless.com and had to come up with a profile picture.

Not the best choice of paper when it comes to pencil stuff but it worked out okay! http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=37 Another one drawn with oil pastels. The smell isn't pleasant, though! http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=36   This drawing was finished in December 2008. I'd planned to use it as a first step in the process of finding a good colouring technique. I was going to reproduce the same image in colour in both traditional and digital forms. This picture was the first thing that came to ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=35 E-newsletter art for Intense Titanium, with an emphasis on the hypoallergenic properties of titanium earrings. This means that titanium doesn't cause allergic reactions like other popular metals. How do you draw something that isn't happening? I could have showed someone's gold earrings causing a disturbing reaction but I didn't think ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=34 The Skinz rings have various patterns which I managed to put into the background. The idea I was given was that the rings help to express something about the individual, so I tried to get across the idea visually with the tiger-stripe ring. I drew the picture in pencil and ... http://www.bj-artnet.com.au/gallery/?p=33
