Artist's Comments

Woot! It's another cel painting. This time one of my more complex deals with two panels: one of the main character; a sexy African Gray and the other a bizarre cartoon tropical background.

This picture too about 3 weeks to complete: well I've gotta work for a living and it takes time for things to dry too. Despite the wait I'm quite pleased with how this turned out, and as always I learned much from doing this.

Every time I deal with acetate and cel paint I learn something new and positive and this piece really made me jump through a few hoops.

My thanks to Massy from FA for capturing and allowing me to use a truly neat photo of his African Gray, Delco, whom this piece is named after. Delco is a sweet pin up stud if ever there was one and super photogenic.

This picture along with my Troubadour Puffin and Singing eagle will go on display and sale next week at our community gallery. Wish me luck, I might sell something!__or not. ;}

Or you will... because I'd totally buy one... if I wasn't broke... but I might anyway. Wonderfully cute, great color, great dimension. You are really running away with cell painting even if it takes you a while to complete them!

I lost my leg recently... and it reminded me of the time I lost my leg in the War.

I want to thank you so much for the most excellent comment and compliment. I think that's the best thing that "anyone" has ever said about my paintings. *hugs* Thank you, dera V8Sploo!

Usually the cel paintings, for me, are things of joy and fun and exploration; so I'm learning from each one. I've got a Wally Gator (a little kinky version) of him coming out soon, I just started painting on him today. He's different, but still PG. It'll not take too long to complete him since I'm going with the Hanna Barberra shading techniques...ie NO shading or depth at all. It'll be my first piece of cel of an actual cartoon character someone "else" drew.
