What is Wensdi? Wednesdays I was blogterviewed!

Ah that feeling awesomeness you get when someone likes your work enough to want to share it with the world. The lovely misschipie did an interview with me about my work, you should all read it, NOW. :D www.misschipie.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/artist-interview-wensdi-dougherty/

What is Wensdi? - Playing about instead of writing task lists.

I'm meant to be organising my work into a plan of actions so I actually do them, but as usual I've gotten distracted by this blog. I've been playing around with the look, currently I like it but I dunno if it was stay long. Ya'll let me know what you think xxx

And back to work I go! 

Enjoy.

What is Wensdi? - Tuesday's it's pancake day...

It's pancake day today, I'm not going to be having pancakes though as I don't really like them unless they're made by someone else. So maybe it's the making pancakes I don't like? Nah pretty sure it's because every time I make them they aren't particularly nice and are usually rubbery.

Anyway, I have some nice pieces to share today. I have been working on some bigger pattern girls at A3 size, there can be a lot more detail put into the pattern, but I think I need to jig about with scaling pattern slightly if I was to work bigger still.

Please click on them to get a bigger version to appreciate the detail of the pattern.

I have also been working on some group piece's They're also done on A3 but the girls are done at a much smaller scale. So I've had to make separate versions of them so they can be appreciated properly on a screen.

Again please click on them to get a better view.

If you right hand click and open in a new tab you can zoom in and see much better.

What is Wensdi? - Wednesday... oh are you going to post?

Yeah so I've neglected the blog for a while, but its only because I've been drawing lots and lots and lots, promise!!! 

So, what have you all been up to? I'm currently having a huge brain splat about life and the meaning of it. It's very distracting and panic inducing. I blame the giant bee in my dream that attacked me until I screamed myself awake this morning. Do any of you have annoying reoccurring dreams that do your head in?

I had an interview today, a journalism student who is working on a group project to make a newspaper, decided he wanted to write about the Harris Museum Open Exhibition, so I was contacted and interviewed.

As much as I am a complete attention whore, I really can't talk very well in front of camera's especially when I'm being told to look off to the left,  - No I want to look you in the eye when I talk!!! Anyway, there was a lot of giggling on my part, poor guy he was very patient with me. I just hope he gets something decent out of it. I thought he would be interviewing several Artists, but it turns out it was just little old me in the end perhaps I should have been more serious? Nah I'm me and me is slightly giggly, giddy and silly.

It also turns out that the two pieces I have up in the gallery have been reserved, so someone is interested, let's hope they're interested enough to pay! That would be the absolute icing on the cake with custard, ice cream and chocolate sprinkles!

That's all your getting today folks, I can't wait to show you all the stuff I've been working on.. well yeah I can wait, because I am waiting but yeah!

Enjoy.

What is Wensdi? - Saturday, the return!

So I was mean't to come and upload all of the fantastic drawings I had done today while playing out with Andrew, the fact of the matter is NO ONE draws when out playing, so in my desperate attempt to rectify the situation I started looking through all my old stuff I found evidence of all the awful things I did to Snow White and Belle when I was a sexually frustrated first year at uni.

I warn you all now it's not pleasant, not because of the questionable content, but because of how AWFUL these drawings are!! I'm going to share them with you all, so you too can be horrified by the awfulness of them.

The other reason I have decided to show you is because for Christmas I did an illustration of a sexy ass Belle for my brother, and I must say my drawing has improved significantly!! Now I can only show you a photo my brother took of the illustration as I didn't take one because I'm an idiot.

And yes I'm aware the picture isn't in the frame properly, I'm sure he fixed that after...But look at that ass, its like a bajillion times batter that what I was doing 7 years ago.

Anyway, Enjoy.

What is Wensdi? - Its a Saturday.

Welly, welly, welly, well I have not yet got anything to show you all today however I will be taking a trip out with the fantabulous Andrew @ http://plaskettanimations.blogspot.co.uk  to do some drawing, I will come home and show you all immediately! Then I will bake cakes. Until then here is a photo of the peep board I designed for the Preston Guild Festival a few months back.

Enjoy

What is Wensdi? - Friday

As some of you may know I got two of my illustrations into the Harris Museum Open Exhibition, everyone should go to visit it, not just to stare in awe at my stunning handiwork, but also to see all the other artwork up on display there are some really impressive pieces. 

So, here's some photos of me marveling at my awesomosity, yeah you read me right, awesomosity!

For some reason my tongue really wanted to get in between my teeth and be in the picture, I couldn't stop it and so there it is, say hello to it, I think it feels lonely.

Some more photo's of just the Illustration pieces... I like stating the obvious.

There you go, I would like the thank the fabulous Chanty for taking these photo's for me, you should all check out her blog at http://pony-chops.blogspot.co.uk it's rather brilliant. 

If you want more info on the exhibition you can find out more here http://www.harrismuseum.org.uk/current-exhibitions/156-harris-open-exhibition

Enjoy.
