Less cussing, more art making.

 Surprised I'm adding a new post. I have been at this artistic pursuit of mine for some time. Its been interesting and occasionally I step back and look at what I'm doing and say I have been improving. Yet the vision for where I want to go still moves. On to the illustration art stuff. 

A cool night near the end of this hot year 2020

 Finally updating my blog after more than a year. Still in Melbourne but not working currently, due the pandemic. Tough to find work, had one interview that did not go any where after one actual day on site. Apparently I was good but not a match. a blow to my ego, a week after my birthday. Doesn't help how I think of things in some ways but makes me that much more focused on my own work. 

A year of loses of way too many people from this pandemic. Yet I keep running into people not taking it seriously. A few related to me, people I have bent over backwards for. Yet cannot for this, this shit is serious. Been through too much struggle and development over these last two years especially mostly on my own. Grinding and building myself back up from a very dark time.

Life is precious despite the horrors and obscenities we witness. Believe me, when I didn't know if i was going to see the morning at one point. Seeing the sunlight gradually warm the colors of the trees in the parking lot and hearing the birds song hit me. 

Any how enough gripping, times are hard and so much is still ahead of us. Not the time to quit being vigilant.

Here's some of that work. 

One year later...almost

Been a while since my increasingly infrequent updates. Moved out of Orlando since then after a health scare due to toxic job place, both mentally and physically. Moved to Melbourne/Palm Bay, got my own place and also a nice little car of my own. Work as a graphic artist doing wide format printing but also screen printing and sign making. Working like tasteful brute but doing better than last year and to think of it the years before. Have not scanned in any of the year so far work I realize but still making that pen and brush (including the stylus) speak. Daily update can be seen at www.instagram.com/kevin_m_russell_art .

October musings

Recent events have been interesting to say the least. I am seeing unlikely events both good and bad occur both in my personal life and of course in the world at large. Yet I must create, it is in trying times that we are truly tested and I have so much I have to do before I put my pen and brush down.

August reigns

Another and the last month of summer has gone by and it has been interesting as usual in this thing we call life. Still getting on my art and grind to mae this life a creative one and enjoy myself from time to time. Yet as it is when you are building something times can be trying. A few pages of recent drawings and such.
