"International Soul Art Day - April 11"

2012-04-13T04:17:00Z

I recently completed my part of International Soul Art brought to life by Laura Hollick's SoulArtStudio.com She is a brilliant expression of spirit and lives her life inspiring others to connect within, listen within, and express your joy to the world.

It was a 24 hour marathon of creativity that you could tune in at any time. She had assignements for you to do during the day, ultimately completing a work of art driven by Spirit. It was a profound experience for me and I highly recommend visiting her site. www.soulartstudio.com

Day 30 - iPad Art - "Free Flowing Spirit"

2012-02-07T06:33:49Z

Day 30 has arrived. It went by fairly fast, but the journey was enlightening. It showed me what my spirit craved to express. My artwork for today describes this. A spirit allowed to bloom outwards, because a tool let the energy flow out and like water over resistant rocks, it roared so heavily past them that they eroded resistance and joy was felt and expressed. Conclusion: I LOVE my iPad indeed, indeed. Thank you Apple! <3

Day 29 - iPad Art - "Inspired"

2012-02-05T21:27:44Z

As a kid one of my favourite books my parents got for us was "the Art of Star Wars". That book was loved so much that the spine was broken, pages were falling out, but almost everyday I'd be referencing it for how to draw like they did in the book. Names like Joe Johnston and Nilos Rodis-Jamero were names we knew as kids. Even to today, just looking at their work from back then still inspires me.

Decided to do some random "yoshi doodles", with the black marker bg styles that was common in their work. (I did try pastels on the submarine/sea ship vehicle thingy. :)

Day 28 - iPad Art - "sketch it out"

2012-02-05T08:25:47Z

Most art starts off with a sketch. A rough plan for what the end piece of art is to turn out like compositionally. Sometimes it feels right to leave it as a sketch because it captures the initial essence of the art. Like our dreams, we can sketch it out in super detail, but often one simple image can remind us of the initial energy of the dream and keep us focused on it as we remember in a heartbeat the feeling when we first started the journey towards it.

The reindeer is from the Circle Craft christmas fair. A cute little guy who's always patient for Christmas to come around again each year.

Day 27 - iPad Art - "Wooosh Wooosh"

2012-02-04T09:30:50Z

Wanted to push myself to try out a 3D concept home on the iPad. So I chiseled out a piece of earth in space so to speak and started building. One thing I do love about 3D is that it provides the ability to fly around something you've built and be a part of it. Making it that much more vivid and real in the mind. When I moved the camera by the water to take the picture, I could feel the sense of being there. I could even sense the snorkel gear on my head.

I am thankful for technology and its ability to help visualize the ideas that float in the mind.

Day 25 - iPad Art - "Birth of the Universe"

I learned about the Big Bang theory in my early teens. Maybe it wouldn't have been as jolting at the time to my knowledge of "reality" if I learned it gradually in activity sets like this as a younger student? hmmm... :)

Day 24 - iPad Art - "Wooden Pixels"

Pencil on wood in the digital world. I like the non-techy feel of the large pixel elements.
