Art and Ghosts - Haunting Artwork by Louise Robinson

I recently happened to stumble upon the wonderful artwork of UK based artist Louise Robinson. Her work is almost dreamy, like a glimpse of a world you're not supposed to see when you're awake. I hope you'll enjoy her work as much as I do. She also has a wonderful home and I'd love a workspace like hers - light and cozy, full of cute trinkets and soft lights. I've added a picture of it below. And on her website she writes a little about her work and process:

"The majority of my works are created digitally, via the use of a Wacom tablet and Photoshop 7. Prior to 2008, most of my endeavors involved digital collage, the merging of photography with hand drawn illustration. Since then, I have concentrated mostly upon pure, digital painting, which I have more recently begun to combine with watercolour and acrylic painting, pencil sketching and hand drawn text. My most significant influences are drawn from fairytales, mythology, dolls, spectres, dreams and nature."

 

And above is Louise's wonderful workspace.

014 - Classic Opera

I'm so forgetting to make these dailies. It's not that I'm not active, I just forget to post. Today I played around with a photo I took in Paris in 2008 at the Opera House. It's such a gorgeous place and I felt like sharing.

My Mail Me Art 2 Submission

Yesterday was all about making the Mail Me Art deadline. I haven't participated before but I really wanted to send something in just to be a part of it. I think it's a great concept and a lot of the artwork is fantastic. It was hard to do in time as I haven't had any time off of work lately, but I did it! The artwork didn't quite turn out as I had planned but I'm quite happy with the whole feel of it. And I've never painted with acrylics before so that was fun. I wanted to make an old fashioned Danish postman and I think he turned out okay. I made him into a jumping jack and he's attatched to the evelope with pins. Fortunately my post office guaranteed me that the date stamp would be from today so I should be able to make the deadline. Yay.

010 - Poulet Poulet

Okay, so I'm a little behind on my daily submissions. I've been caught up in work so haven't been able to find time to draw or anything. But today was Sunday so I decided to give watercolor another go and make the famous Poulet Poulet. I expect to make many many two-headed chickens in the weeks to come as I want it to be my logo. This was just my first try as well as painting practise. The chicken is pure watercolor and lineart was drawn in Photoshop.
