celteca

The constant reflection, always assessing experiences from the past to shape direction into the future. I find I do this a lot with my pieces. Looking at some pieces for an hour or so trying to figure out what I was thinking. This piece needs no explanation other than the fact that it was an endurance test. El Calendario Magnifico, if I do say so myself.😉 #elcalendario #arte #pluma #canvas #modernart #acrylic #contemporaryart #molotowmarkers #blackworkillustration #blackpen #contemporarystyle #aztec #illustrate #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

It's as fulfilling for me to look back at previous pieces to find inspiration for the new ones. Sometimes I do actually wonder why I drew a certain part but usually from looking at what is around it all becomes clear again. Almost like a visual mind map. Anyway, keep it cool and breezy on this tasty Tuesday Chicos. .. #blackandwhiteillustration #abstractart #blackpen #canvas #modernart #penwork #mindmap #artist #contemporyart #drawing #illustration #art #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor. "You have to have spent the night at sea, sitting in a life raft and looking at your watch, to know that the night is immeasurably longer than the day." - Gabriel Garcia Marquez #shipwrecked #gabrielgarciamarquez #abstractart #pen #journal #justforfun #contemporyart #imagination #illustration #modernart #design #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Drawing away while listening to the World Cup games. Serious Football Fever here. Expect to see some football oriented iconography within this 'Where's Wally'(ish) detailed madness. #detailed #design #blackandwhiteillustration #doodle #canvas #blackpen #ballpoint #modernart #abstractart #irishartist #contemporyart #arte #diseño #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Bless the mess. Getting the last possible drops out of the materials and bringing a little life back into a grey Monday. #colour #canvas #painting #modernart #drips #drops #outline #abstractart #artist #contemporyart #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

From doodles to drawings... These journal pages usually start out by blotting and bleeding pens, what they turn into is anyone's guess. #blotting #bleeding #pen #paint #journal #paper #pages #illustration #abstractart #modernart #contemporyart #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

The ultimate pen bleeding pages. From gunk in the nibs to getting the absolute last drop out of them, these pages act as the birth place and graveyard for my materials. Seriously enjoying the painting in the garden also. Illuminating!!! Enjoy guys. (at Dublin, Ireland)

Process | Progress. Lost in thought... A busy weekend ahead so getting in a little quality time the best way I can... #pen #canvas #blackandwhiteillustration #graphicart #design #irishartist #lostinthought #modernart #contemporyart #diseño #doodle #arte #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Midday Monday Morning in the Middle of May... 😉 Cartoon Jellyfish (80cm x 100cm). The Sun is out, enjoy the day you crazy kittens... #cartoon #jellyfish #acrylic #painting #canvas #colourpop #modernart #irishartist #contemporyart #upcycling #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Journal post! This is becoming a habit but a necessary one at that. This journal acts as my plotting pad every time I paint. Bleeding markers and testing designs this book sees it all. Not always a pretty outcome unfolds but a vital part of the design process and a great stress reliever. #journal #art #design #artist #irishart #pen #illustration #paper #modernart #contemporyart #arte #diseño #doodle #ideas #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Callie the Westie. (80cm x 80cm). A mate (@erik_verheijen_adm) asked the other day what I was going to call this piece? As I have been working on it for 6 years I truthfully had no idea. I debated filling in the white part as per usual but as I stood back and saw Callie the Westie. (Deceased family dog.) Having recently lost my own pet I knew then it was finally finished. Cheesy but true. #calliethewestie #art #colour #canvas #retrospective #modernart #pet #contemporyart #arte #acrylic #paint #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

So I got a new phone! (Well, new to me.) As much as I love to draw sometimes I write, to get what is inside down on paper in a fashion that I can look back on and gain insight. Elements of expression are valuable in all forms and by expressing what we feel we ground ourselves and our beliefs. Very deep for a Thursday but as ive said, i got a new phone! 😎 #writing #design #thoughts #art #irish #journal #artist #expression #notebook #graphic #diseño #modernart #paper #illustrator #surreal #pages #contemporyart #arte #illustration #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Beginning things are easy, finishing them is the hard part. With the Uni term coming to a close and a number of Mental Health Awareness campaigns launched this week, #ditmulticulturalfestival featuring my good self, I feel it is really fucking important to be aware of yourself. My gut feeling drives me as it is my naturalist response. Go with your Gut, and have a stellar Friday and a Whopper Weekend!!! #penandink #art #drawing #ditmulticulturalfestival #canvasboard #design #mentalhealth #modernart #contemporaryart #design #pen #illustration #irishart #diseño #pluma #grafico #saludmental #dibujo #creative #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Laser cutting!!! So when I found out I had (limited) access to a laser cutter I was intrigued. This is an enlarged replica of an old Irish stamp. Thought this design would show me the true capabilities of the machine and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Sun is out so time to burn! Have a fruitful Friday folks! #lasercutting #nofilter #illustration #stamp #irish #art #design #testcut #eire #wood #firstattempt #ditcreativearts #arte #diseño #graphic #visualcommunication #creative #modernart #contemporyart #irishartist #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of the method it is always beneficial to document the process, it shows a mindset and sometimes makes for hilarious retrospective reading. This journal of journeys is starting to get very deep!! Enjoy your Friday Folks and roll on the weekend... #illustration #blackandwhiteillustration #journal #journey #art #design #colour #detail #irishartist #contemporyart #modernart #surreal #document #arte #diseño #graphic #pen #drawing #acrylicpaint #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)

Weaving a pen across a canvas while expressing what's inside out. 4 weeks of serious hardcore work ahead seems a little daunting but exciting at the same time. What doesn't break you, makes you! Enjoying the last sunny Sunday of freedom and hope you are also. #blackandwhitedrawing #pen #illustration #canvas #blowout #drawing #contemporyart #modernart #art #design #expressionism #arte #diseño #surrealism #retrospective #painting #penandink #inkillustration #artist #celteca (at Dublin, Ireland)
