Drawing, painting, experiments, errata. Also little creepy dude faces for wherever that fits. . Not for sale (yet), no DMs please. This and a menagerie of other weirdness will be available at my booth at @designercon in mid November, with the assist once again by my comrade in arms @mazza_art. . See you then! ❤️ . #painting #acrylic #acrylicinks #creepy #boo https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhGtyrlxpp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here's the guy gracing my altar in yesterday's post. I call him "Death", after the Tarot card. When I painted this I was in a dark place, waiting on MRI results and in the midst of a spiritual upheaval. This piece became emblematic of that time of waiting and wading through uncertainty, of being undone and remade. I'm okay now, and I've come to love this piece for reminding me what I've endured. This is also where butterflies first entered my work, and they haven't left since.

trying something new with a piece of yellow Moroccan ochre from Kremer pigments. Drawing directly onto the paper with the stone. The stone feels very greasy. It probably has clay in it. Therefore, the drawn lines can be activated with water. Then I use self made water/acrylic inks, made with earth pigments. I use iron ore (bean ore collected by myself), moraine stone powder, manganese black and a mix of various hematites from Kremer pigments. The inks are easy to make. Just put a bit of pigment into a small jar and add some water and a few drops of gloss acrylic varnish or painting medium (or watercolor medium),. Stir, and the ink is ready to use with a brush or a reed pen or for pouring directly onto a surface. Up to now I don't know how long these inks will be good, so I make only small amounts at once. They need to be stirred up every time you want to use them. Now the painting has to dry one night, then the next layer can be added. #watercolorpainting #earthcolors #watercolorjourney #abstractart #abstractwatercolors #inkpainting #earthinks #inking #homemadeinks #ironpigments #ochre #kremerpigmente #moroccanochre #yellowochre #redochre #manganeseblack #tryingnewtechniques #acrylicinks #makingpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Bytcd1KI0FM/?igshid=1k7o7g35n4b9h

S W I P E for details! Just finished "The Collapse"! I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it felt like one of those paintings that I needed to do. It represent a lot of my inner state at the moment, in all its conflicting messages and emotions. Is this piece symbolic of something positive or something negative to you? I took my time with this one, experimenting and trying some things out. I used acrylic inks for the first time, and really enjoyed them. You can read all about the process for this painting in my Patreon step-by-step about it! (Link in highlights and stories) I'm looking forward to delving deeper into the techniques I tried out on this piece. I have tons of ideas and I can't wait to start working on them! Hopefully my anxiety will leave me alone for a bit...One can only hope 😝 . . . . . #Painting #acrylicpainting #acrylicinks #liquitexinks #myriamtillson #traditionalmedia #weirdart #mentalhealth #mentalillness #heavymind #strangeart #surrealart #surrealillustration #traditionalillustration #watercolourpaper #myart #showyourwork #artblock #roughpatch #mentalexhaustion https://www.instagram.com/p/Bub_TQyAY0b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12r11jfs2puix

Sorting through drawings to add to the shop next week.. The shop will be updated on Friday and then will close on Sunday night, reopening in February. This is to let me focus on an exhibition in February and also allow me to step away from the festive madness.. #paintings #drawings #originalpainting #smallworks #worksonpaper #watercolourpainting #acrylicpainting #mixedmedia #abstractlandscapes #imaginedplaces #contemporaryirishart #artpractice #collecteddrawings #marks #markmaking #acrylicinks #liminalplaces #imagined #waterscapes #grasslands #wetlands #fringes #vibrantpainting #vivid #irishinteriors #stuartcairns #artist #thiscreativelife #studiolife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4tztrlHTE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12vmz8ru0bydj
