Paintings by Canadian artist Alex Colville from the 1950s-1970s that look like PS2 graphics

Hello Pixelfed folks! These are some of the #sculpts we’ve made (using #Monsterclay), that we’ve then made silicone moulds and resin pours. Some are painted, others, like the #GoodbyeKitty figure we made with glow-in-the-dark dyes in clear resin. #toyart #resintoys #indiestudio #canadianartists

Amazing one for #MusicWomenWednesday. Japanese-Canadian singer/songwriter Saya Gray put out her magical debut album 'Saya' last Friday. Folk, alt-pop + rock sensibilities, synthy electronica & heavier guitar sometimes too. Saya's voice and finger picking- wow. 🤯 Unique melodies and sounds. A contender.

Here are a couple of panels from/for the graphic novel I’m working on. There are a lot of silent and slow moments in this project. This is Anton, one of the two main characters. He’s a very chill guy who likes baths (and kinda looks like my partner 🫣).

Sketchbook. I am currently (and have been, for the past year) working on my first graphic novel. These are some of the research pages. I have three sketchbooks full of research for this project, and about 30 panels made so far. And it’s far from done yet !

The whole project is entirely hand drawn, with ink on paper. I will likely do some editing digitally at the later stages. It is somewhat of a light story compared to my previous short stories and poetry, but as I can’t help myself, the main theme is not that light - although it is tackled with a soft approach and surrounded by magic.

Le fleuve Saint Laurent (the Saint Lawrence river) is almost a whole character in this story: I think my love for it has naturally translated in the project.

I will be sharing some snippets and panels at some point too (when I feel ready for it: I am the kind of person who has trouble showing unfinished projects to anyone. 🫣)
