Journal52 #2 - Just Be

As, always I am behind with my art journal, but here is week 2's page following the prompt "Just Be"


I incorporated my own fingerprints along with pictorial representations of the things that define me, the fact I'm gay, that I am disabled, that I love animals, that I love art and the great community I have found because of my creating (and that it helps me overcome physchological barriers put in place by my disability), and finally my nerdy science fiction living side represented by the Starfleet and Marvel logos!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm trying to keep my writing in blog posts shorter now simply so that I'll be more likely to keep up with my blogging!

Bye for now, xxSAMxx

Journal52 #1 - Pathways

So at the start of the year I joined a wonderful Facebook group called Journal52. Each week a journal prompt is given. Week 1 was "pathways".

The page I created was all about the barriers to creativity, and forging a path through those barriers. I do hope that is apparent in my page!


Thanks for visiting.

Catch-Up ( 2 of 3 : Book Folding )

Again, a huge sorry for the big gap since my post in November! I really hope you enjoyed the first of these 3 catch-up posts; those canvases were amazing fun to do... Now I need to find places to gang them all...

Well, as I said yesterday, I'm going to post a series of catch up posts without much waffle to bore you! That way I can show you guys what I've been up to then get on to up to date posting!!

So this second update covers the time consuming but awesome book folds that my family received from me for Christmas.







And a couple of close up pics:

Catch Up (1 of 3 : Canvas Crazy!)

Well firstly, a huge sorry for the big gap since my last post! I looked back and noticed just how long it has been! 

Well, anyway! I'm going to post a series of catch up posts without much waffle to bore you! That way I can show you guys what I've been up to then get on to up to date posting!!

So this first update includes a series of mixed media canvases and paintings that I made back in November. I had one of those phases where I just kept on painting and I think I have some great pieces to show for it!

This first piece is a large canvas that I just adore! It is going to be getting a coat of varnish before it goes up on my bathroom wall!




These next canvases are all A4 sized...
