the wallpaper was a bit overwhelming

The original drawing is SOLD available.

Ink, watercolour and paper collage on acid-free watercolour (hot press) paper, 8x10 inches.

The wallpaper portion is an ink and watercolour pattern I created and cut out. Normally you would cut out the character and place him on top of the wallpaper, but I wanted to play with the idea of the background taking over, enveloping the person. The fact that the wallpaper portion is made on thick paper really emphasizes this. It's a bit hard to see it here; it's more evident when you see it in person (the internet can't replace everything). Or have a look at the closeups in the shop.

Having a closer look at the closeups, I was wondering if you use a scanner or a camera for digitizing your paintings?

Love the painting, once again!

I scan all my drawings. I get much clearer results with a scanner than a camera, and luckily all my drawings fit on a normal-sized scanner!
