New Photorealist Candy Still Life

I started a new photorealistic still life, featuring a bunch of brightly-colored Tootsie Roll candies in a glass tumbler. So far I've completed the underpainting, which you can see here:

New Ink Series

I received a set of really nice art pens for my birthday a couple weeks ago, and I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with them. So far I've only ventured to use the black ones, so I've been playing around with monochromatic designs and compositions. My first finished ink drawing (The Mystery of Meaning) is available for purchase this week, and provides an idea of what this new series will be like... a bit fun and a bit psychedelic, and full of tiny intricate details as usual! I've started on the next one in this series; you can see the work in progress below.

Lily

I have a new art assistant that I'd like you to meet! She's tiny, warm, furry, and purrs a lot. She likes to sit in my lap while I paint and draw:



We found this tiny creature one evening as we were walking home from dinner in the village. She was all alone on the edge of town, so cute and vulnerable, so we decided to take her home with us. Her name is Lily, and she's very quickly become the Queen of the household!
