green love
Originally uploaded by Darren Daz Cox

This was a random sketch made with two Mr. Sketch scented water color markers on a 8inx10in canvas board.

The dark green one has an apple smell and the yellow one has a lemon smell (of course).

There is synergy between these markers because they are so juicy that the dark green merges with the yellow to make a light green and the yellow dissolves the dark green when it's dry to make a light green. All in all there are countless shades of green to be made!

You should try this!

I added more about this on an art therapy tangent on my art blog http://99daz.com

Angel saves working
Originally uploaded by Darren Daz Cox

Still on the pencil and charcoal stage, I am amused that my art is pretty much the same no matter what the scale! I wonder how big i could actually go? these figures are pretty close to life size (for angels haha). I bet I could do double or triple life size and still make it look like the same hand drew it...

Rats are quite graceful when they don't have gravity to bother them! Pencil sketch drawn in Peoria Illinois by Darren Daz Cox.

droppy painting
Originally uploaded by Darren Daz Cox

I put salt on some 'stormy spring' oil paintings I'm working on in the basement, over the blue oil paint layer that was the rainy sky, and today the salt crystals turned into drops of water from the humidity, the effect is so beautiful!

pencil sketch then colored and tweaked in Photoshop! I use Photoshop as an art tool and find it a nice extension to my ways of expressing my creativity.

What does it mean you say?
It's random therefore it means a lot but I cannot presume to tell you what you see in it, you have to figure out your own interpretation instead of having a nice clean answer provided!

Or you can just look at it and get what want out of it!
