Idle Angels
I have finished the final designs on what happens to be the half way point of my “365” post challenge. I’m looking forward to giving my creativity a rest and getting into the flow of making these silly little things.
Idle Angels: forgotten inspiration
Last night I was organizing some visual research for Pinterest (I still don’t quite understand the utility of Pinterest but I’m using it anyway) and buried in some forgotten folder in plain site I happened upon this image that I downloaded back in 2009 when I first drew “The Voyeur.”
I am startled to see how many lessons I have learned from this panel of stained glass from the Musée de Cluny. But I can also see I have a lot to yet learn.

The Insomniac — first trace
Is this seraph too sexy? I don’t know. Perhaps just too Disney.
