Description This took an eternity. More than 80,000 individual cells coloured by hand using Staedler triplus fineliner and triplus color. Size is A3 (297mmx420mm). Sadly the scanner doesn't do it justice. Detail is much sharper.

This is really amazing!! In Dutch we say: "Titanenwerk" or a job done by a Titan (Greek mythology) and that means a very, very, very great, hard, heavy job well done! I admire your effort and result !!

wow!!! i first thought, it was digitally made, but then read your comment ... this is handmade??? that's insane!!! and with those Staedler pens? that's even more insane! (I use them, too, sometimes...) guy, you're crazy!

Glad you like it. You know, the real insanity was using Staedtler pens. Not UV fast. Now I'm working out how to transform much of my work into solar plates for etching. Should be fun.

really? you haven't? Should try.. you could prob make a living of this, you! Did you do this piece on paper or board, or on a canvas?

steveoxley In reply to Lou-in-Canada [2010-11-22 09:57:46 +0000 UTC]

Now that would be cool - earning a living doing something I love.

Drawing now with the ambition of doing an exhibition in 2012.

All works on paper.

steveoxley In reply to Siobhan68 [2009-08-27 08:50:16 +0000 UTC]

Patience, yes. But really, as I move through these things I do start to wonder whether it is some other virtue (?) that is exhibiting itself!

Siobhan68 In reply to steveoxley [2009-08-27 09:10:59 +0000 UTC]

I think it is just your muse! Let it run free... Some of your art reminds me of aboriginal art I once saw. Millions of colourful dots!! Beuatiful!

Thanks. I love and collect Aboriginal art and it is where some of my inspiration is drawn from.
