Here's what I'm working on at the moment.
This painting is based on the fairytale of Hansel and Gretel and is called "Hansine and Greta" (isn't Hansine such an unusual name? I love name websites).
It's on 10"x12" flat canvas panel so it's a bit bigger than I usually do but I love how it's turning out! It's also nice to take a project easy for a while, instead of one big whirlwind of work. So I've been working on it on and off, inking bits here and there, and I've done quite a bit more than these photos show. Neither of them are particularly good photos either - the colours are less washed out and brown than the first photo and more vibrant than the second - but I promise to get some good photos when I get better. Clicking on them makes them bigger so you can see some (blurry) detail, if you'd like.
Mini Smarties for, er, reference. Ahem.
I like to listen to music at the computer when I'm painting, and I often pick music that I think fits in with whatever I'm working on (or at least, I feel there's some sort of correlation, whether it's just in my mood or whether I think it's what the paintings would listen to themselves or what). These two are definitely Magnetic Field-babies and have been produced with much, much Stephin Merritt (and will continue so).
The other thing I did just today was a new ACEO.

"Black Eye"
Black eyes can be caused by all sorts of things - accidents, violence, sickness - but Madeleine's was caused by ghosts. Little ghostie black eye.
It's kind of hard to tell from the scan but the background is metallic, slightly shimmery silver ink.
I think heart buttons are becoming something of a motif with me.
Aaaannd...I ordered postcards! I'm pretty excited about these, I have to admit. More on that when they arrive, no doubt.
Hope everyone has been keeping well and avoiding germs!
PS. Have I mentioned you can add me on Flickr? Because you can if you'd like, and I'm sure it would be lovely.
