Drawing
I am a life long career artist that started with fine-art then I progressed into a career of graphic design, doing both. My art is rather developed and unique. First I hand drew all my art until 1982. I then shifted in 1984 into working digitally covering 47 years since I started till now in 2024. I also have extensive experience with screen printing and offset print as well with a full hands on for screen printing production. Yet now I focus on the artists side and work with professional offset and screen print suppliers. Some new and some old as I have worked with some for years. My art granted is quite unique but I defer to allow people to make that assessment. During this time art influences vary including the old masters to modern day contemporary artists and influences. Style wise I do many pop art to outsider art works in general. I draw on a regular basis as I have all my life. I began with pen and acrylic inks, museum grade cotton archival materials then giclee printed on archival museum grade Arches or wood panels to metal prints on white metal as a special request. I live in the Ottawa Valley Region, Renfrew. I also do fine art photography. I have professional level experience with digital imaging and vector level drawing skills developed since 1975 roughly.
I do have digital experience but I do not use AI (artificial intelligence) at all. Its new. I like the idea but AI cannot draw quite in the manner that would help me, at least in a significant way yet, that in 2024 that I am aware of. I prefermy current digital drawing techniques as AI is relatively new versus all my experience over 47 years is far more fun and rewarding than a scripted art work. I tested extensively in 2023, as I was not impressed just for now AI drawing needs to be much further developed in my opinion.
I do get asked how these are drawn. Its best shown within a 3 minute video. Its whats known as vector drawing mainly. A video in the future is planned for that. Detailing the hardware and software and then the giclee or screen printing processes used in separate video clips. Then one 3 minute video for a work from start to finish. Will cover what fellow artists may be curious to know.
These works are all originally sketched, designed then made into my limited artists digital proofs by me from 1977 to now in 2024. Few artists work this intensely but some do and I have met many giclee digital artists. The computer system is central as is Adobe suite and mass levels of experience with patience to explore the possiblities with desire to make creative, original, unique art. They are avaiiable in wall art format 24 x 36 to 40 x 60 for special order and some are available as NFT art by request. Non fungible token art is on Rarible currently.
Sunshine Editions are available in a few ways: 1 - one of one, 2 - one of ten as currently signed and limited numbered proofs only 1-10 for 2024, for the art gallery level art experience. Prints will become available for 2025 for a retail level experience. Once I develop a supplier relationship here or abroad.
I am always seeking representation. Any inquiries or questions are welcome. Plus I do have my Linkedin profile, Instagram, Rarible and Facebook profiles for anyone to see if interested.
Thank you for visiting.
