‪Making progress on a papercut installation: from shooting source photos, to Illustrator, to fresh off the laser cutter, to paint still wet last night, here’s some of the elements. ‬

Finished the colored pencil portion on my current piece containing bougainvillea and red shoulder hawk wings! This piece is colored with Koh-I-Noor woodless color pencils and Prismacolor. Next I’ll work on the back ground. #workinprogress #kohinoor #coloredpencil #coloredpencilart #coloredpencildrawing #thegreatmarcel https://www.instagram.com/p/BtcTWf-ADfM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14rheh9cr1i2c

I was going to try to finish that middle wing tonight but I am pooped! Tomorrow, then.

I’m feeling well enough now to bite a hole in the edge of your current wip. #catinthestudio #artistscat #catsinthestudio #fergusisbroken #fergustheweegie https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9DpHLgLoQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t8uhjsn31v9r

I am trying to raise money for @fergusisbroken’s medical bills. Currently we don’t know what is causing his fevers, lethargy, mild neurological issues, and weight loss but it sure is costing money to find out how to make our pal better. I’m putting up anything I think people may find value in. This is very nice wrapped canvas print of a large colored pencil piece I completed in February called, “Beware the Woman Bold Enough to Walk Alone at Dusk.” It features a kitsune unmasking her true self. You can read more about the story of the piece on my Behance page. And you can see baby Fergus sitting with me as I worked on the piece (Fergus is not even two years old). I am asking $50 for the print but willing to negotiate. I can take PayPal or Venmo. I am willing to ship but who knows how long that’ll take with the government shut downs. I know the timing for this is terrible since everyone is probably done holiday shopping so at the very least if you could tag someone that may be interested, I don’t have a ton of followers and I know this will only be on people’s screens for a hot minute. Thank you and remember to hug your furry friends tight! #forsale #prints #kitsune #geisha #coloredpencil #coloredpencils #coloredpencil_art #coloredpencildrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BrtX3q6A1b0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n0jghreu6gkz

Not too much more accomplished tonight on my new colored pencil piece of red shouldered hawk wings and bougainvillea branches. I’m not liking a lot of the blooms on my source image now that I’m working on them. But luckily there’s a bunch in bloom right outside my bedroom window. Ours are not the same color but I can make it work. I’ll go take some photos tomorrow with my phone. This piece is colored with Koh-I-Noor woodless color pencils and Prismacolor. #workinprogress #kohinoor #coloredpencil #coloredpencilart #coloredpencildrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BreePXRg_jK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13mlxn879ziud
