NoHo Noir day...

Today I drew this weeks NoHo illustrations. There they are on my workspace, surrounded by my grey promarkers....you can see the finished pieces properly and read this weeks stories at the weekend.

Edith and Promarker Ultra-Fine Nibs

Letraset recently released a new addition to their Promarker range of marker pens - the Ultra Fine nib. Normal promarkers have a nib at each end, one a bullet tip nib, the other a chisel nib, perfect for filling in large areas of colour. The new Ultra-fine nib is an attachment you can buy in packs of three. The nib fits over the bullet nib, as below, and gives a lovely thin line, perfect for detailing and colouring small areas. You just slip it off again when you need to use the bullet tip.

I used some fine nibs when creating the painting above and they were brilliant for detailing like the eyelashes and hair, and the patterns on the dress.

You can purchase them from Letraset here.

Here is a time-lapse video of me creating the image!

Frida

11 x 13.8 inches, Tria markers on bleedproof marker paper, 2011.

A portrait of the artist Frida Kahlo painted for the EBSQ Frida show this month.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter (1907 - 54). She is best known for her self portraits. After an accident when she was 18, her life was plagued by illness and suffering due to spinal problems and the after-effects of the accident, and her paintings are often brutally honest.

My image is based on a photo of Frida taken by Nikolas Muray. The bloody thorns and leaves were symbols that Frida used in her own work, representing pain and suffering and her love of the Mexican flora and fauna.
