The Creation of a Mannequin
Jaipur, India 1986 In the remotest village Anthony ever visited, he stayed in a house that amused him greatly, especially for its kitchen, which was full of holes! He painted various aspects of it, including even a study of just the door which was the house’s most eccentric detail. This door and the surrounding wall were full of cracks so large that a person could easily pass through them into the house….and yet the owners still proudly locked their door at night, shoving great bolts across it, turning keys..and then proceeding to walk right through it! The hole in the roof (in fact half of the roof was missing!) pleased him too , as did the cowpats, which in India are intelligently used for fuel. In any Indian house, from the richest to the poorest, there is always water on the boil , for interminable cups of “char” (very strong tea with vast quantities of sugar)

So here is Rhonda’s story, I promise that it’s true Please pass it on to everyone As I do now to you…. Way down in the savannah where the wild grass grows A lovely rhinoceros is striking a pose For an artist who is painting her big, blue nose She has to keep from falling off her big, red toes.

“I started drawing on July 10th 1999 in India” Marian Fannon told me “…..I had never studied art or drawn a thing in my life before that. Just got the urge one day and when Anthony [Christian] saw the results, he encouraged me to carry on and so it went…….” What the artist Anthony Christian saw was a sense of form and a distinctive approach to the medium. One notices immediately a decorative skill, a facility for filigree detail, and a warm yet subtle sense of colour.

The Drawings of Fanny by Reggie Oliver
Hello World, I’ve been an artist for over 30 year now, and recently I’d started noticing big advances in printing quality and photographic / poster art prints technology. Looks like just about anyone with a good digital camera and a decent printer can create a nice photographic or art print or poster and actually autograph (sign) it to. So, I started wondering if this is the next big thing in the Art World – signed art prints or signed art posters?

Signed Art Prints – is it the next big thing in the Art World?
I absolutely love coloring other artist’s lineart. I would totally do it for a living if I could. Usually when I tell people that, they mostly just kinda furrow their brow, or smile politely; probably thinking “Well, anyone over 3 can color”. I heartily disagree, though explaining why can be difficult. I guess it all comes down to interpreting the lines. When coloring your own work, you know what colors go where, how shadows fall, and where your light source is located. When working on someone else’s stuff, these things usually need to be decided via line width, light/dark balance of the inks, or if the lineart is less detailed, much will need to be improvised
