Malgré le but essentiellement documentaire, scientifique du procédé, ces images possède une charge émotionelle très forte.
Je suis particulièrement intéressé par les yeux, les deux !

J'ai réalisé en 2020 cette gravure d'après une photo de Mark Jordan de l'université de Seattle.
L'idée est de pouvoir échanger avec l'auteur de la photo.

It may be a little thing but what I also love about drawing etc is the smells. Graphite, colour pencils, crayons, good chinese ink— they smell NICE. Makes the little five min of sketching an extra pleasure I think. #MastoArtist
How the streetlamps look in the morning when the sun has risen but they’re still on, and a cup of tea at home, five min sketches #sketchbook #dailysketch #MastoArt

The #Latin word 'candere' is a verb meaning 'to shine'. It's where 'candle' comes from.

From the idea of shining, came the idea of purity and sincerity, which is where 'candid' comes from.

When ancient Romans ran for office, they would wear a shining bright toga. And that's why we call them candidates.

I still haven’t moved to the Art server but at least I started one of my first working 2024 days with finishing off the X account. (It laid dormant for a long time. I saw Musk had now started following me, hahaha)

Finishing up my next #linocut print for #PrinterSolstice prompt complementary. I realize I actually use complementary colour schemes quite often. Blue and orange is one of my favourites to work with. Thinking of the natural world I knew I could choose say an orange bird in a blue sky or an orange fish in blue water and thus the choice of koi seemed clear.
