I am an artist with the intent to be one and an attention span to prevent it. In these unsettling days, however, it seems easier to hunker down and adhere to the principle of art creation. Please check out my Etsy shop: etsy.com/shop/MAOlssonIllustrated

So, in trolling through all the naked men pics I've found one image that works perfectly with a series of drawings I'm planning. All I have to do now is find this man and get him to do a bunch of other poses!

I don't know, I hadn't thought anyone would be interested in buying it! It's really a sketch for a larger version of it. Jon, would you wait to see that instead?

Now working on editing the scan of page 100 of the graphic novel, leaving only 16 pages more to go, hurrah!

This guy is getting a refresh! I'm removing the old varnish from this Danish 1896 painting. Details that were obscured by the dirty discolored varnish have reappeared. It's fun to see them pop up again!

Funny you should mention that as I was thinking the same thing. I will let you know what I come up with!

Throwing a few different inks together without blending them. Such a Sunday thing to do!

A wee linocut from some years ago. In going through all this older material I think I'm trying to work up energy to do more stuff, which has been lacking lately. Angst in these times, I blame everything on that, yeah!

This is an ink and watercolor from around 2012 or so. I had forgotten about it, but it's time to share it again😃 I call it the Organization of the Visible Heavens. Over the top maybe, but it works for me!

From my Covid Lockdown Calendar, although a week behind. I really need to start doing new stuff in this time of stress.

This drawing is from the lockdown year 2021, when I drew some things or other for each day. Maybe I need to renew that practice, for sanity's sake😃
