Kastle Kaos Drawbridge

http://www.kaslkaos.blogspot.com

Drawbridge is an illustrated journal of my life as an artist and nature lover. I use coloured pencil, collage, or whatever it takes to say what I mean.
Drop in and say 'hi'! Art is all about communication, after all.
As I live in the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine area of Ontario, Canada, much of the subject matter features the beauty of this region although there have been major digressions into other realms of late.

I originally attended life drawing sessions (live model) in order to improve and acquire technical skills. I was completely surprised at what else I’ve gained. *A clear view of ourselves as one of the panoply of mammals on this planet; the...
