This post could alternatively be titled 'I used to be a painter'.
A few weeks ago I salvaged some small canvases from a friend who was going to throw them away- they're slightly smaller than A4 and currently wrapped in cheap black canvas.

But that's about to change- I bought some carpet tacks (so Dickensian in their cobblestone blue-grey sheen!) and I'm going to re-stretch them in some fabrics I've set aside for just such a thing.

I've been meaning to get back into painting for a very long time now, and have been eyeing my drawing archive alot. All my 'Victorian lowbrow' scribbled magic of the last 10 years sleeps quietly in a large paper bag under my desk, and in the darkness of sketchbooks hidden on the lowest shelves of my bookcase.

lovely bits. Look forward to your paintings
I think I saw the picture of the ghost girl by Mark Ryden on a journal (or something) the other day when I was at Barnes & Noble...I can't wait to see yours.
Oh yes! Looking forward to it :).
Yay! I know your drawings and paintings will be just as special and unique as your other work and I can't wait to see them! I think like you said,that we are so much alike-we have to mix it up and let the art take it where it wants to go!
take care,
