On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
Drawn with my fingertip, using paint media and the smudge tool, in the “Procreate” app. Thoroughly enjoyed pushing and smudging around these colours as I attempted a sort of sunset landscape.

Much of it, along with some of my art in traditional media, and a few of my illustrated poems, I’ve recorded here. I also built... Continue Reading →
