Pretty psychotic

See, I had this drawing board bought from Japan which I ruined by drawing an ugly picture on it, but I didn't want to throw it away so I salvaged some magazine clipping and glued them all over it to make a canvas. Then I drew on it with black brushpens, poured coloured inks all over it, made coffee stains, used white paint... And then placed a previously completed and, on its own, totally boring picture of a military pin-up girl to it. There's heaps of criticism towards social media there too, but basically it was a mad creative process on one particularly rainy day.
And then there's this simple portrait of the Queen Of Hearts, who is one of my favourite Alice-verse characters. I love psychotic female characters; I love crazies in general.

This one I had already gave up on, but I went and improved it later. Boy, am I glad I did.

Hello

Oh Goood I'm so sorry I've been neglecting this place, I've been playing around with Tumblr lately but I have to admit I still don't quite get it. Why is that thing so popular? I prefer old-fashioned art blogging, thank you very much.

I'm swamped with commissions right now! And I'm not complaining. C: It's just this heat making drawing in the daytime practically impossible.


Pictures in the next post!
