#gm and a daily drawing number 84: Sunday walk in a local very green graveyard. I’m feeling the spooky season vibes.

GM

Where is the big bitcoin art? (This is a genuine question, if you’ve seen it please send me links). Bitcoin people are very passionate about the ideas they share and solutions they see. Art is a human need to express and communicate experiences and feelings bigger than words. So where is the big bitcoin art? The Art that would express: - Hope, the new light in the dark night of despair - The awe in the face of profound realisations - The urge for change so strong it would stir the current of history This is the level of emotion I get from people talking about bitcoin and this is the depth of experience I am looking for in bitcoin art. There are very exciting visuals, there is some representation of ideas. There is a healthy dose of craftsmanship and concept art that is obviously natural in the movement that values proof of work. But I can’t see art that speaks to the soul, to the core of human experience in the face of this new big thing. It might be only my soul that’s not moved, art is subjective after all. And that’s ok. But there is something striking in that mismatch between the level of intensity in ideas on one side and artistic output on the other. It makes me think that maybe bitcoin at its core is not a human invention after all.

Daily drawing day 72: Arty bar in Depford. #artstr #artonnostr #art #illustration

Daily drawing day 71: I thought I need more characters in my sketchbook, showing their emotions etc. So I came up with this guy and I put him through an emotional rollercoaster. I love the angry one. #artstr #artonnoster #illustration #handmadeart

GM - something odd about this.

Daily drawing day 70: People watching in South Bank. Side track - Nostr changes colours of images, did anyone else notice that? #artstr #artonnoster #handmadeart

Daily drawing day 69: Two friends catching up, accompanied by a baby. As seen through a plant bed. 🌱 ✏️They were very sweet together and I hope it shows. #artstr #artonnoster #art #illustration #dailydrawings #proofofwork #observationaldrawing #drawingfromlife

Ok I forgot to actually post the drawing:

Daily drawing day 68: Evening buzz at the Seven Dials market. ✏️I enjoyed the limited palette of warm tones, and the purplish blue really made it sing. #dailydrawings #sketchbookpractice #illustrationartists #draweveryday #artistsketchbook #handdrawnillustration #londonillustrator #dailydrawings #childrenillustration #sevendialsmarket #sketchingonlocation #urbansketches #walktosee #observationaldrawing #drawingfromlife #nstrart #artstr

Daily drawing day 67: Newly discovered relatively local pub. ✏️This one turned out strange, looks like the place is under the water. I enjoyed the strange perspective though. ✏️It seems that now the weather is changing I will be looking for more indoor places to draw so I anticipate a lot of pub drawings. And I don’t even drink. ✏️My favourite part is the guy in the corner, it was a good pose. #dailydrawings #sketchbookpractice #illustrationartists #draweveryday #artistsketchbook #handdrawnillustration #londonillustrator #dailydrawings #childrenillustration #pubdrawing #sketchingonlocation #urbansketches #observationaldrawing #drawingfromlife

Daily drawing day 66: Drawing while reading: “Marriage Portrait” by Maggie O’Farrell. ✏️I finished the book yesterday and this scene stuck with me: Lucrezia is awaken in the middle of the night by a cry of the tigress brought to the palazzo by her father. ✏️It was such a clear image in my mind when I was reading this chapter. #dailydrawings #sketchbookpractice #illustrationartists #draweveryday #artistsketchbook #handdrawnillustration #londonillustrator #bookillustration #childrenillustration #novelillustration

Daily drawing day 64: A bunch of locals in a pirate themed pub. ✏️Once again I started by wondering how to capture that light coming through big windows and the wooden darkness of the interior. There were so many chairs! ✏️So many characters came in and out of this place while we were there, I managed to capture a few. #dailydrawings #sketchbookpractice #illustrationartists #draweveryday #artistsketchbook #visualjournaling #observationaldrawing #handdrawnillustration #mixedmediaillustration #walktosee #londonillustrator #pubillustration #pubdrawing #londonautumn #lightstudy #londonillustrator

Daily drawing day 63: Two friends deep in a conversation on a rainy afternoon. ✏️I could tell from far how much they enjoyed each other’s company and I absolutely loved it. ✏️Back in London now, it was a lovely day but the grey rainy evening reminded us that autumn is here. Swift change from the sunny beach yesterday. #dailydrawings #sketchbookpractice #illustrationartists #draweveryday #artistsketchbook #visualjournaling #observationaldrawing #handdrawnillustration #mixedmediaillustration #walktosee #londonillustrator #rainydaydrawing #autumndrawing #londonautumn
