Dragons’ Breath & Rainbow Pyramids

This article, which I wrote about a recent Spheres Of Light meditation, also appears in the November edition of the Axis Mundi. I created the artwork below, featuring a dragon’s eye inside a pyramid. I have to admit though, it’s not totally an original work as I used a photo of a clear crystal pyramid [...]

It’s Beltane again…

…so I thought I’d post another of my artworks to celebrate the occasion. This one was done using coloured pencils on cardboard, and features an alien couple enjoying the great outdoors during the equivalent of Spring time on whatever planet they’re from …and yes, I know there’s snow-capped mountains in the background and no leaves [...]

Armageddon, Eagles and UFOs?

Time for more of my drawings. The first is one of a series of my earlier sketches which depict the end of the world as we know it, inspired at the time by personal dramas going on at home while my mother was in the process of becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. No-one else [...]

Samhain

Time for another of my artworks, and with the arrival of Samhain I thought this particular drawing was quite appropriate…

“Death”
This sketch was done using my favourite artistic mediums: ballpoint pen, coloured pencils and water based “textas”. As for what the inspiration behind this one was, I can’t remember exactly but at the time I think [...]

Chaos

“Chaos”
I haven’t been posting here very regularly, due to general chaos in my life, so I thought it was about time for another of my drawings …and what better than this rather chaotic scene.  One of my favourite mediums to work with was ball point pen, followed closely by textas and coloured pencils and this [...]

Dolphin Dreaming

“Dolphin Dreaming” (click on the image for a larger view)
This sketch was an exercise in colour, as much as it was another portrayal of my feelings of isolation and alienation at the time.  She represents me, although she doesn’t look like me. If only I still had a figure like that! …minus the finger webbing [...]

Reflections

“Reflections” – click on the image for a larger view.
Time for another of my artworks. I remember when I drew this one many moons ago and showed it to my parents, my father snorted/laughed at the pussy joke, my mother didn’t get it and both of them were  quite confused and a little [...]

Alien City: My Home

“Alien City: My Home”
I decided it was time for another of my drawings. This one’s drawn with both black and purple ball point pens, coloured pencils and felt pen. It was inspired by the sci-fi story I was reading at the time – the city is inside a large crater. Unfortunately this scanned version doesn’t [...]

Spring Fantasy

Yesterday I attended the SOL “Working with the Seasons” Spring workshop, part of which involved meditating while listening to music specially composed for the day. After the meditation we all shared our experiences and it was really quite amazing how the music had evoked similar thoughts and images for so many of us. My meditation [...]

Dualities in Balance

“Dualities in Balance” (click on image for larger view)
I’m feeling in a strange, reflective mood at the moment and have decided it is time to post another of my sketches. Unfortunately the quality of the picture has deteriorated a little over time – the combination of felt pens,  scrappy paper and storage in a plastic [...]
