Alone but soon they’ll show, In my head I’ll greet them all, “Hello, and welcome y’all”. This is […]

  • Late Night Monster

    Late Night Monster

    This is an old piece I found hiding in a friends room, it was never finished. I thought about re-working the canvas but decided to digitally work it instead. This is my first attempt. I’m using Paper53 on the iPad with a digital stylus ‘Pencil’, all very strange and fun. #madewithpaper / fiftythree.com
