Artist, though alas, not of enough renown to avoid less exciting employment. Long time blow in to Cork City.
Ok this has ended up being far more mixed media than intended, as I laid down too much metallic paint at the start.

It's been more than a year I think , since I did any of my undersea creatures on black paper like these two jellyfish ( I appear to have misplaced the other jellyfish and squid 😦) , I think it's time I added some more. #watercolour #jellyfish

Home after a long daytime session. Selfies posted because a good mate said I looked like Cecil B. DeMille's assistant and while the assistant bit rankles , I like the appreciation of my tweed pants

Had planned on doing it all in dipping ink , but decided to give those markers I bought last Sunday another go.

Having said all that , started a present for someone today .
Glass dip pens being one of my favourite art discoveries of the past few years. They don't clog or get scratchy and can be loaded with watercolour paint too

Been toying with the idea of getting fancy markers for ages , but I've concluded I'd probably not get the use out of them.
Got some cheap ones (€29 for 152) from Smyth's Toys instead. Just tried them out by colouring in one of my sketches from Inktober .
They don't seem too bad for the price
