Wall Art

Posted by Hat | Sep 23, 2016 |

My whole drawing-on-walls thing began only in about January 2016. Nick and I had discovered a...

Uh… some… interesting things here in la-la-land…. 🤔

The first time I visited Los Angeles, I was 16 years old (my dad had splurged on a big-fat-family-holiday). I don’t remember much about LA from that time, but I DO remember those iconic, tall palm trees!! It’s been nice to see them again… this time, with my own teenage kids! (Photo taken outside LACMA where there’s lots of interesting art installations )…. 🙂❤️

Working on new illustrated rhyme book… I want to draw some extra noxious poison bottles… with lables like “frenemy barbs”, “batshit-beliefs” “unwelcome commentary”, “unsolicited toxic advice” and what-not. Any extra ideas & inputs most welcome! What kind of ‘poison’ do you swallow… in order to keep-the-peace?? 🤔🤔😁. #illustratedbooks #procreateart

Today’s temporary workspace… in the (very!) ample & extremely comfy home of our very loved cousins, Helen & Vasco. Good Wi-Fi, good coffee, good company… and (lots!!!) of good food (Helen is - after all - Greek! And Greeks have a reputation for… um… over-catering! 😁).

I went through a season of endlessly drawing cities (ironic for a forest-dweller, huh?). I shot the reference photo for this drawing on the island of Corfu (Greece) last year. This is ‘Old Town’ on a mid-summer evening. I loved Corfu’s eclectic mish-mash of architectural styles! Actually, there’s loads of stuff I loved about Greece. But (as a forest-mushroom) I couldn’t stand the mid-Summer heat! 🥵 I was like a bat… hiding inside (with the air-con) during the day and only emerging in the early mornings and at sunset!! 😁 Next time we go to Greece, I want to go in Autumn or Winter!!! #greece #corfu #procreate

Gonna miss these misty vistas of home. We get lots of rain in Summer, lots of mist (perfect hiking weather in my opinion because I utterly loathe baking in the sun!). I’m a bit of a mushroom. I like shade, mist, forests & streams . Anyhoo… we’re off to California for a month or three. Excited for a new adventure (as always) but will miss the exquisite beauty and peace of ‘our’ Midlands nature reserve & forest. #karkloof #kznmidlands

Drew Corfu Old Town while we were in Greece last year. Looking forward to drawing more buildings & cities during our upcoming la-la-land adventure… (I want to draw those iconic boulevards with the tall palms). Now… (sigh)… if only I can find ways to earn… y’know… $$$ from these odd hobbies of mine!!! 😁 #greece #corfu #procreateillustration #travelillustration

A page from my next illustrated book (which I don’t yet have a title for). This one (also an illustrated rhyme like “How Heather got her HAT’ness back”) is about the (process) of learning to live life authentically without constantly fretting about whether or not other people will judge and disapprove. The snippet of rhyme on this page will simply say: “Gossipers gloat when you make a mistake”…. 😁🎩. #illustratedbooks #illustration #selfpublishing
