Drawing with dice
It's not dancing with wolves, but wolves are dangerous. I'm all safety first. Tonight I've started on a new me. I even resculpted my bearded visage, that's commitment for you. Oh and also I'm aiming to complete a piece of work a night. A small drawing (14cm x 9cm) but a drawing none the less. I might do some bigger ones if I'm feeling brave.
Anyways enough prattling on and on. Here's the drawing.
Sharpies on moleskine, 14cm x 9cm.
All bunged up and no where to go....
The images in this ost are a bit flashy and strobey. If you have a condition that you are aware of that is triggered by flashing lights of strobing, do not open the link. Thanks.
I've started my first commission, it's going well but I'm annoyed at, my lack of progress. The egg of a cold is in my head and it doesn't want me to think too much. I'll not be posting any images of the commission until it's completed. Well I might do detail shots. Any way below are some glitchy gifs I've done in the past. They are a hobby of mine.
I must warn you that some of the images below are a bit strobey, so if you suffer from epilepsy or know flashing lights can set off your seizures don't go any further.

A painting I really liked, but no-one else seemed to, I gave it a new lease of life a s a glitch.

Frazzled lines.
I had an odd day for me. I was a bit frazzled due to a sleepless night. One of my kids I lovingly call Logjammer, just wanted me to stay awake. Due to his machinations, my frazzled head could not paint. Every attempt just disheartened me. So nothing from today to show you, but lurking, forgotten in the deep darks, was this drawing from the pre-cave years.
Dice drawing - No1. 10"x 7"
In other news I've got my first commission, and I'm off to speak to a venue about getting a show up. So I'm pretty excited.
No pithy and witty title
An odd day in the cave. I got a good day of painting in, I didn't have any 'painters block' nor were there any interruptions. Yet I still feel underwhlemed. The only reason I can think of is that I spent all day on one painting -'Procedural Painting V3.1.2 20"x 20" Oil on board.'
I'm using emergent properties in this one, so when lines cross from different layers they create a random number of rectangles or circles each with their own set of random elements, such as size, line thickness and opacity of paint to name a few. All of these variables must be roll fro on the hoof, as I have no idea when lines will cross. That creates a huge amount of dice rolling - in total I spent over an hour rolling dice.
Below I have a picture of layer 4 finished but without the emergent properties, followed by an image with the properties put in.
On the left is Layer 4 before I add in the emergent properties and on the right after they have been added. Each aspect of the emergent properties must be calculated, its position relative to it's origin point, it's form, style, thickness of paint and line and the tonal values I could go on and on.
No real conclusion to this post except for this little thing near the bottom of the 'e' at the end of here.
