Albert Camus, "Storm Sky in August..."

Was pleased to work with other Kew Gardens' artists in decorating Lefferts' Blvd this month.

 

Skinny Puppy - A Tribute to "Too Dark Park"

Submission for the Skinny Puppy art contest. I love all eras of this band but wanted to pay tribute to the iconic (and my favorite) albums, "Too Dark Park" (1990) and "Last Rites" (1992), with those memorable first lines of each album and some familiar faces from the album covers themselves. Drawing this took me back to my college days when I'd fill my notebooks with this style of doodling.

Experimenting with some Acrylic Paint Markers ...

(experimenting with paint markets on canvas ... when I doodle/cartoon with pen I find I'm very focused, with a semblance of an idea of what I want to draw -- conversely with paint markers it's very loose, spontaneous -- mostly playing with contrast and seeing what comes out to my surprise).

Complimentary Coloring Book from Christopher Blosser

Greetings!

These are probably not the prettiest or most practical, high-resolution black and white renderings of my doodlings -- but hey, when you’re “sheltering at home”, whatever works, right?

So should you wish to pass the time, and exercise your own personal creativity bringing these to vibrant colorful LIFE of their own, do enjoy this Complimentary Coloring Book of Christopher's Doodlings. (I particularly recommend colored pencils or fine-tipped watercolor markers).

Download is free. If you wish to make a donation to myself and family, you can do so via Zelle at blostopher@gmail.com (I’m also on PayPal).

Homemade Halloween Masks, 2018.

"Adventure Awaits"

Done in participation with the Kew Gardens: A Place Where Art Has a Home" project featuring "Images of Everyday Life in Kew Gardens" -- highlighting the talents of local artists in Kew Gardens, Queens NY. The drawing is currently displayed at Austin Ale House until June 11th, after which point it'll take up permanent residence in the Kew & Willow Bookshop.

Kew and Willow Books -- a community-funded bookstore that opened this past December -- was a natural choice of topic for me given my (nearly weekly) patronage and support. Check out this interview with two of the booksellers on how they brought an indie bookstore to life after a successful Kickstarter campaign. If you're in the neighborhood I highly recommend a visit!
