  2. ArtCycle Foundation: Turning Old Sneakers into New Stories through Art, Recycling and Community Empowerment

    A pair of old sneakers can be more than just something forgotten in the back of a cupboard or under the bed. It can become a canvas, a creative expression, and a symbol of hope for someone who needs it. This is the vision behind ArtCycle Foundation, a growing creative social initiative focused on collecting second-hand sneakers and tekkies, transforming them through artistic restoration, and donating them to children and adults who need quality footwear. ArtCycle Foundation believes that […]

  6. About the art process behind my book covers…and a question...

    I began abstract painting around 2015–2016 after many years of realistic pen and ink sketching connected to my architectural work. Over time, colour, geometry, and nature shifted my practice toward abstraction.

    In 2022, I gave an artist talk at the Lundt‑Glover Gallery in Chatham, NJ, hosted by the Art League of the Chathams, where I discussed my work at the time, including digital developments in NFTs and my decision not to pursue that direction.

    Later that year, I began the 27‑painting series that my current ecofiction trilogy covers are based on, using four panels from that show as the starting point for the newer work.

    Three good things:
    1. Making art.
    2. Sharing art.
    3. Selling art to pay for more art supplies!!!

    Watch the full 38‑minute talk here: youtu.be/X400L4JI-LQ

    The piece shown, Wellness, was part of the solo show and later became the cover for our ASEI Arts international charity anthology, Anthology House Vol. 2, created to benefit UNICEF.

    A question for my art and book lover peeps here: when you think about art and the art of book covers, what lights you up, what inspires you, and what are you drawn to reach out for?

  7. Hidden in a Parisian courtyard is La Maison du Pastel, the world's oldest pastel maker.
    With a 300-year-old legacy of making pastels by hand, the shop served clients like Edgar Degas.

  8. I made another watercolour sketchbook. 80 pages of A5 using Khadi 100% cotton 150gsm paper. The deckled edges look cool and work well with the DIY vibe of the rest of the book.

  9. Finished building my granulating / low tinting mini watercolour palette today. Some combinations lead to really wild mixes. I can’t wait to try it out in a real painting.

  10. My first hand made watercolor sketchbook is done. Well, the cover needs to be spiced up a bit, but that’s it. Oh, and maybe the overhang of the covers will need to go. Not sure, yet.

  12. My Peg & Awl Nutshell came today, my first really fancy art thing in awhile and I'm digging it. It'll be good for exploring. If other urban sketcher folks decide to get one, keep in mind the Sailor fude pen in the middle is (as you can see) too tall for it.

    I keep accidentally calling it a "nutsack" instead of "nutshell" because apparently my subconscious has the humor of a 13-year-old boy (this tracks). I don't even notice the error until someone is laughing.

    Me, today, shoving my phone with the usps website in Greg's face: LOOK! MY NUTSACK IS DOWNSTAIRS!

    Greg: Isn't that where they usually are?

  13. My dad found this old watercolour set. No branding and the "bricks" of colour are just mounted directly into the metal. They'll eventually fall out. Says "Made in England", but that's it.

    On the other hand it was free and the colours are nice, so I might as well give it try before spending money on newer stuff.

  14. Ever splashed out on something you could truly live without, but love it so much that you have no regrets?
    This is mine: "Colour Cubes" made by Aussie, Sarah Renae Clarke. It's basically boxes of pictures and their #colour palettes, and it's a beautiful collection!
    It reminds me of the William Morris quote, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful". This is both.
    Or.... is it just a giant Rubik's Cube?

  15. I cheated on my Sakura Pigma Micron fineliners with #staedtler fineliners. Wonder if these are worth their salt?
