My 500th Blog Post



Celluloid Mistress

Been doing this blog for just under two and a half years. Thought I'd give you all a quick peak into my brain for my 500th Blog Post. It's a pen and ink drawing done on a layout pad and then scanned into photoshop for colouring. Click the image to "embiggen." ;-)

Hope you like and thanks to all and any readers who stop by... I really appreciate it.

  1. Beautiful! Love the detailed and colorful patterning, reminds me a little bit of Alfred Woelfli (example) or Hundertwasser (example)

    Congrats on reaching 500!

  2. Hi there.

    Wow. I'd never heard of those two (please excuse my ignorance) but now I know that Leon's address in Blade Runner comes from the second artist's name.

    I'd definitely say that the Woelfli does remind me of a younger me stylistically... while, not so much the style but the strung together vignettes style of the second does remind me of some dim, distant stuff I used to do.

    Good call.

    Thanks so much for looking and commenting.

    All the best to you.

  3. Wow, totally amazing.

    And congratulations to your 500th post. I am in absolutely awe at the amount of quality posts you manage to write. Really well done! I am nowhere near 500 posts yet and I started in 2007.

  4. Hi there Holger.

    Thanks very much for the kind words.

    As to the timescale... I think all that proves, maybe, is that I don't have a life. ;-)

    Thanks for perusing and taking the time to comment.

    Much appreciated.

  8. Hi Nuts,
    Looking at your illustration It is virtually how I imagine your mind to be.
    Your style is rubber-stamped on the whole image, very cool.

    There could be a market for your work.

    Well done.

  9. Hi Jake,

    Remember when I used to paint stuff like this back in the 1980s?

    Thanks for taking a look.

    Appreciate it.

  12. Hey there,

    Nah. It's not a wall hanger. I suspect my original black and white ink drawing is a folded or partially screwed up bit of paper somewhere... but the scanned file where I then added the colour as the next stage and tweaked some of the blacks will be saved as a file somewhere. I rarely throw anything away.

    Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment, lady! x
