Prince drawing time lapse video | Illustrations This is a video showing some of the process used in creating the Prince drawing. The original footage was becoming too long due to the time needed to finish this so the background wasn't recorded.

This took a very long time to complete so the time lapse does not include the making of the background.

Added a few new paintings to Bacchus Market today. This place always feels like a little pocket of magic, and I’m grateful they let my art live there for a while.

A mixed media collage pictured over a photo of the desert

Day 2: I think my interpretation of CFM's desert pink is a bit too pink and red-- but I used the name as backdrop inspiration for today's collage.
