Mia Mascara Sheds Tears in a Time Warp

A spin-off illustration of a piece called "Hot Oven" about a girl encased in a time warp. Whose tears have made her Mascara run. In the original illustration, Mia dressed in her night gown is taking a casserole out of the oven wearing a fish oven glove. In the other hand, she holds a Martini glass. Why she is crying is a mystery. I leave that up to the viewer to decide.

I made this illustration from a photo of a beautiful girl I met in Florence called Mia. She makes intriguing story based photos. Sometimes, some people, just make me want to draw.

Chasing Amy series gets a colour injection on Art Rookie

First up in the Chasing Amy series to get an injection of colour is "Moment of Madness". My personal fave in the comic strip of nine panels. Originally screen printed on acrylic sheets in black and white. Since then I've coloured them in. Next will be PHEEP.

Screen printing them will be a little bit more expensive but for now there are unsigned digital prints available on Art Rookie of "Moment of Madness". I do like both the stark black and white and colour. But it's good to see them side by side in the two different styles. Original source photos taken by my friend, Ben Dome.
