This image was painted in photoshop to a size of A4 dimensions, during january 2011. The title is "animal funfair", and portrays various animals enjoying a trip to the fair. The animals featured are a mother bear and her cub, snake, crab, pig, lion, dad and son tiger, crocodile, cow and several horses, monkeys and elephants.I wanted to set the scene at twilight as fairs seemed exciting to me, with the light bulbs gradually replacing the fast disappearing daylight.
An image like this is drawn on the computer, then painted in a traditional, layered way similar to conventional painting media.
Painted during august 2010 in photoshop. I wanted to have a go at painting 'nice' bears, and I also wanted to see what happens to the elements in a picture when I paint a 'tv' glow.

bear family in front room with son playing computer game
This image was painted in photoshop to a size of 8" x 10". It is a
family of bears in their home but not in a cave, but in an every day
human environment. The mother is ironing, the older son playing a
computer game and the nipper balancing on a ball, circus fashion. I
deliberately picked a very wide, impossible angle, but I cheated on the
perspective, so that we get to see a lot of the room. I enjoyed painting
the blue hue from the TV, and having it reflect in the characters eyes.
collection of animals enjoying time at an animal funfair.
