Biomorphic platform game 

Biomorphic illustration created via the klecksography* technique; I layer watercolour washes and then draw the images that appear in my mind’s eye. There is lots going on in this biomorphic play on the classic platform game with a little troll character.

I love to create for the freedom to enjoy the painting I’m currently working on, allowing it to be whatever it will be. So, I never sell prints or do commissions; every painting is a true one of a kind and when they are gone they are gone. Hundreds of my paintings are in private collections across the globe.

This painting uses archival quality watercolour, cotton rag paper and finest quality pigments and has metallic gold highlights. Please note that no paintings should ever be left in the full sunlight.

The dimensions are for the size of the painting. The painting will be shipped in either a postal tube or PIP box. If it is shipped in a postal tube it will be curled so after it’s unrolled leave it to rest under a weight, such as a couple of books, for a day or so then it will be flattened enough for framing.

9.45 x 13.3 inches.

* A info little about Klecksography

most people think of Klecksography as inkblot test on a folded piece of paper a la Rorschach, however, the images in klecksography were never originally mirrored via folded paper but when Rorschach based his method upon the Victorian Parlour game of turning ink blots into drawings, he was such a fan of klecksography that his nickname was Klecks, meaning Ink blot; it was only later when developing his theories on unconsciousness that he began folding the paper to create parallel images as he felt this would make it easier for viewers to see the ‘hidden’ images more clearly. I have evolved my art over a life time from my own childhood love of playing klecksography or ‘scribble pictures’ as I called as I would do some scribbles then try to turn them into pictures.
