This wild chameleon, shimmering blue is called ‘Upon A Star’ and fans out its bewildering array of outcomes peacock-style.

Watch as I experiment live, starting with a loose plan and working it out from there! Notice the ink spilled, the moment it doesn’t quite work out, the hesitation… 😅 Check the stories for gratuitous close-ups.

I chose these words by @buddywakefield for the December 13th Inkvent as he’d been on my mind and this quote just felt ‘right’ for the day. It’s from his gently devastating poem ‘Flockprinter’ (and if you’ve followed my work for a while, you’ll know I’ve interpreted his work many times before).

————————————-

I’m creating an ink piece every day throughout December, using each of the daily new inks behind the Diamine Inkvent 2022 Calendar windows:

- One take only, for better or for worse!😬

- Ink on paper, no digital faffing

- Originals go on sale in January

- Prints and digital editions will be available

- A portion of all sales to food banks.

You Are Buttercups Spraying from the mouths of doves Fireworks stuck in the air A free standing landing pad Held together by choir claps You're. a. God not AFRAID to walk With the Saviours Who ride monkeys round their backs Kicking Mercury Spreading upward openly Carrying breath

-Buddy Wakefield, Flock Printer "Even before we met When the assignment was to draw words With their own literal meanings I would write out each letter of the word LOVE Using winning halves of wishbones, melted Crayons And the toe tips of the great dancers who’ve quit dancing Because I don’t give up on shit like that I always knew I’d find You"
