Rhino Butterfly I found this drawing from 2010, it's a rhino with butterfly wings. I think it's a good contrast between the strong and tough characteristics of a rhino and the delicacy of a butterfly. Remember that if from ten years ago so don't be so tough with me. What do you think? #graphitedrawing #rhino #rhinoceros #butterfly #realism #magicrealism #animalart #canadianartist #canadianart #illustration #torontoartist #toronto #canada

Inktober 52 Microscopic What it means microscopic? So it's something very tiny that can only be seen by a microscope. Like a virus... OK, I'm seeing viruses everywhere even when they are microscopic, enough for today.... That's my calligraphic exercise of this week. How was your week? Microscopic? Did you do something new? Something scary? #inktober #inktober52 #inktober2021 #calligraphy #calligraphyartist #calligraphypractice #microscopic #virus #quarantine #somethingnew #somethingdifferent #lefthanded #torontoartist #canadianartist #toronto #canada #torontocalligrapher #torontocalligraphy

WIP Starting details at the illuminated H letter and some other shadows here and there. I wanted to evoque those books of hours, where there's an illustration and a prayer for everytime of the day: morning, noon, evening... It was a kind of survival guide for the day, something that it's needed in this lockdown times. Do you have a favorite survival guide for quarantine?... #wip #workinprogress #survivalguide #bookofhours #illuminatedmanuscripts #exvoto #lockdown #quarantinelife #covid19 #oilpaintings #figurativeartist #hyperrealism #photorealism #precisionism #torontoartist #canadianartist #toronto #canada

Spaceship Inktober 52 I really feel some kind of attraction to calligraphy and illuminated manuscripts there's some mistery behind those fabulous lettering stuff, even if I don't understand what is written there like when it's written in Latin. So I like to practice it just to try to decode its meaning. #inktober52 #inktober2021 #inktoberallyearlong #spaceship #bicpen #calligraphy #calligraphyartist #contemporaryartist #contemporarymanuscript #lefthanded #ballpointcalligraphy #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #torontoartist #canadianartist #toronto #canada
