new digital drawings

Or are they digital paintings?
Since I don't presently have a studio for oil painting, I am satisfying myself making things like these! I am having a lot of fun getting prints made at Walgreens. They look suprisingly good after a little testing for scale, dpi, etc.
My digital painting "Mystic Adoration of the Tablet," the van Eyck copy, is going to be in a show in Scotland. It's called the Unoriginal Show, put on by the RSA NEW COLLECTIVE.


Here's a cat drawing and a degas rip:

Hand-drawn LOLcats

Well, I drew these on the computer, which, questionably counts as "hand" drawn. I used a mouse and a tablet, and an online program called Shi Painter.

Wangechi Mutu

Wangechi Mutu: artist, painter. I saw her work at the Weils contemporary art museum in Brussels. The show blew me away. Justin and I were really excited by the show and came back to the apartment and made watercolors all night.
I was reminded of her work by meandering googling, and since this time I have an internet connection, please look. It's all really gorgeous. Her craft is amazing, her imagery, spot-on.
