Glyn Warren Philpot II

As well as his amazing portraits I adore the way that Glyn Warren Philpot captured fabric in his oil paintings.

Glyn Warren Philpot I

Beautiful portraits of men by painter Glyn Warren Philpot (5 October 1884 – 16 December 1937). His love was fellow artist Vivian Forbes, Glyn died of a stroke and poor Vivian committed suicide after Glyn's funeral.

Olga Kvasha I

Days became longer, painting by Olga Kvasha.

 

Shuvinai Ashoona

 

The disconcertingly modern and yet medieval drawings of Shuvinai Ashoona, are drawn from the inspiration of Inuit mythology and the wildlife and landscapes of her childhood home in coloured pencil and give a unique world view. 

Isabella Rossellini

 

Seduce me and Green Prono by Isabella Rossellini are wonderful, if you haven't already found them, please enjoy!

Being an artist . . .

I'm sorry I have abandoned you here for a while, I am super busy day and night getting work made for the Edinburgh Zine Festival 2024 which is being held at The Fruitmarket Gallery on February 10th and 11th excitingly along side the Artists Book Market which I have exhibited at before about five years ago. 

The works I am making require hours of research and sleuth like persistence traveling down internet wormholes to find information and images/ photographs. Then to format them into zines, and to that end I seem to be inventing new forms.  so this weeks wormholes have been; the chainsaw, predictions about telephones and pioneering traveling cats. 

Max Machen II

 

The sun is returning slowly to the Northern hemisphere, maybe it is because I am older, I look for it sooner and see the signs, the fattening buds on trees and bushes, the birds increasing songs. Illustration by Edinburgh based Max Machen who hopefully I will meet next month.

Becca Brown II

 

Hair stories from the works of Becca Brown.

Becca Brown I

 

I imaging Becca Brown talks to things, birds, plants, dogs and cats as that is what her delicious linear characters do in her drawings and on her ceramics. Becca graduated in surface design from Duncan of Jordanston Dundee before going on to do an MA in illustration at Edinburgh, so I was shocked I hadn't featured her work already, time to make amends.

Cáit McEniff

 

Some line drawings from Leeds Market by Cáit McEniff, Cáit makes applique textiles and carves, go and see the work of this creative dynamo. 

Shane Drinkwater VI

 Shooting stars by Shane Drinkwater. 

Sven Svendsen

 

Here I am in March, as spring is springing perversely remembering the depths of dark winter that was so recently shrinking our world. These paintings by Sven Svendsen (1864-1945) capture perfectly that darkness and the puddles of light that are like stepping stones and contain our worlds in these winter months. 

Malcolm T Liepke

 

Paintings by contemporary American painter Malcom T Liepke.
