I actually completed this painting a while back but have been slack about posting it…so, here it is – my first portrait of an African (and one of my favourites) animal , the majestic cheetah.

I’ve been working David Meulen the last while, shooting and designing the cover for his debut album, @davidmeulen. As part of the promotion for the album, I put together this short animated teaser video, in which the cover design is brought to life.

Handwriting and music by David Meulen, illustrations by Jessi Howell.

New painting: Hammond

Posted on: April 9, 2014

ART

I don’t know when I started this little painting, but it must have been around 2010, because that’s when I took the source photo…Anyway, it’s been hanging on my wall incomplete (just half an acrylic base coat) for the last few years so I decided to finish it up this week. This is Hammond, our family’s first cat, who adopted us in 2001 (followed swiftly by his ginger cohort Lynx). We don’t know his exact age but estimate him to be around 17.
