More Pics

Here are 3 more of my artworks to display on my employment poster.
Old but diverse techniques, and some colour.

Random pic of Bobo The Wunderkittten, always around to be cheeky,
naughty, entertaining or look beautiful.



 This is a stylised technique using gouache paint, and breaking a picture into shades of grey.

This is an ink line sketch using minute detail, and lots of imagination, 
basically displaying many different types of marks.

Gouache paint again, but a bright colour scheme this time. More of a surreal painting.

Preparing to go back to work.

I whittled down work over the last few years. Various reasons, the twins HSC
had to take precedence, and then overlapping the last years of that, my mother
getting repeatedly ill and finally passing away.

Then 18 months of processing the estate of her home and possessions. That
period has passed in intensity, with just  a residue of things to deal with.

Our son left home and settled with his partner. His work is going well. The
girls have settled into year 2 of Uni now. They are doing well with study
and work.

It's time to regroup, think on other things. Train for a new career. Consider
part time work while studying.

Try to promote myself again as an art tutor, because it is the main thing I
know. Here we go again.

Here are some images to go on my poster, letters, resumes, interviews to
organise, who to teach and where and how.

What to show in different techniques: such as pastel, ink and wash, ink line,
fine art and illustration styles.

Commercial Art

Sometimes you need to do artwork that is very commercial illustration,
cartoon or caricature.

These things are designed to be printed in various ways, on Tshirts or
for signage.

Sometimes caricatures are commissioned for special birthdays or occasions.

This is sometimes more of your bread and butter work.

Here are some of my commissions.

 For a scout group TShirt, printed in white on a blue background.
 For a computer repair and IT company.

 A birthday present caricature.

40th birthday caricature, this has photos collaged in.
