This is more of a doodle-y drawing, blue ink pen on paper. I liked how it turned out. I’d love to do more of these, the same size drawing just on a much larger canvas; might be fun.

Posted in Art, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital, Drawing, Illustration on July 18, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeThis drawing was made after the keyword sanctuary. I feel like on some of them they work better in color. I’ve been playing around with coloring them in paintshop pro, but I plan on trying more with washes of paint and other things on both canvas and paper.

Posted in Art, Daniel Allyn Lee, Illustration with tags daily drawings, flowers, friday, Illustration, monsters on July 12, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeThis is actually the first drawing I did for this daily drawing project that I started last week, but I just got around to inking it the other day. I ordered some new pens and I think they are helping me remember to vary my line weight.
(after the jump-more from last week and my illustration Friday drawing.)

drawing a day
Posted in Art, Daniel Allyn Lee, Drawing, Illustration with tags Art, Illustration, line, monsters on July 5, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeIn an effort to become better at illustration I’ve decided to commit to making at least one drawing a day for the next year or more. If I get stuck on what to draw, I’ll randomly select a word from the dictionary. I plan on posting my favorite drawing once a week online.
for this drawing the word was ‘eleventh’.

dance party
Posted in Art, art on paper, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, Illustration, Painting, work on paper with tags Art, Collage, Illustration, monsters on June 14, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeWell, I did my first craft show last weekend. It was fun but it rained a lot and I didn’t sell as much as I’d hoped. This last week I’ve been doing a little relaxing, organizing stuff, taking pictures and listing it on etsy and putting together some shipments to a couple of consignment shops. Now, I want to make some art and try and write a story book.
Anyway, here is something I started a while back with plans on finishing for the show but instead I finally got to today.

I’m still working hard on stuff for the upcoming craft show, I’ll have a booth at. This is just a fun lil sketch I decided to play around with in the computer. I’m hoping to concentrate a bit more on drawing and writing after this show next month.

This sketch reminded me of something so, I decided to add the star and red background on the compooter to kind of play it up just for fun.
card
Posted in Art, craft, Daniel Allyn Lee, design, digital, Drawing with tags card, Illustration, show on April 19, 2010 by Daniel Allyn Lee
I just ordered some post cards of this and another design. This one is three different sketches mashed together and colored on the computer.
I’m doing a craft show in the beginning of June. Its my first one; I figured I’d try one out and, see how I do and if I like it. Anyway, I’ll pry sell little sets of postcards plus, I plan to stick them in the bags instead of a business cards.
I’m already freaking out about not having enough time to get everything I want to do done. I plan to make a few collage/paintings between now and then, but mostly I will be sewing my face off.
monster talk
Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, Illustration, Painting with tags Collage, Illustration, monsters, paint on April 12, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeThis, I started a few months ago and I just decided to put the finishing touches on it yesterday. I think its funny. the background got a little dark on me. I’m definitely running with this collage, acrylic, illustration combination. I think, I just need to get comfortable with it and loosen up a bit.

a monster in crisis, 8 1/2″ x 12″, acrylic and collage on paper
here’s another monster. I was concentrating on the composition and using collage with paint for this one. He’s not very cute; I think he’s funny. I’m guessing people like cute more than funny, but whatever.
another cartooney drawing
Posted in Art, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital, Drawing, Illustration with tags Art, cartoon, Illustration, monster on March 29, 2010 by Daniel Allyn Lee
Here’s a fun little drawing of a group of monsters, drawn in ink pen and colored on the computer. I’ll probably paint in the original with acrylic washes. Its kind of nice to be able to play around with the color first on the computer screen first. For some reason I love using the halftone filter on the color.
Idol
Posted in Art, craft, Daniel Allyn Lee, Painting, sculpture with tags Illustration, monster, Painting, wood idol on March 22, 2010 by Daniel Allyn Lee
Here is a peek of the wooden idols I’m working on. They’re acrylic on wood and all around 12 1/2″ tall. I had three different designs cut and I’m close to being finished on all of them. I wanted them to be brightly colored, with lots of pattern and decoration and have a definite hand-painted look. I was loosely referencing Aztec, Indian, Asian, and Pacific northwest American Indian motifs with these and some other designs, I still plan on having cut out down the line.
Monsters rule!
Posted in Art, Daniel Allyn Lee, Illustration, Painting with tags Art, cartoon, Illustration, monsters, Painting on March 15, 2010 by Daniel Allyn Lee
I’m tired of being conflicted about working on character illustrations. I like it and I’m going to concentrate on it. I think I gained a snobby attitude about illustration back in college, where it seemed really important to differentiate art, design, and illustration with very clear lines. I think I’ve been a bit self conscious about not making ‘serious art’. I think you can make really interesting art using more populist themes. lowbrow, pop-surealism, reduced figuration, or whatever ya call it…
This painting was a little experiment in reusing a segment cut from and old painting in a new way. I think the characters are a bit stiff and the composition stinks, and it could use more dry brushing and washes in the background, but the colors work and I see potential. I’m calling it a first pancake and moving on.
first collage in a while
Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee with tags Art, beefcake, Collage, gods on February 8, 2010 by Daniel Allyn LeeI haven’t had time to make any new collages lately. So, this is the first one in a great while. I think it turned out alright. I’ll need to make time for art for now on.

I wasn’t sure about the title; I might change it to ‘two is better than one’.
I’m going to try to make a drawing a day for now on; I need to build my skills and develop my illustration style.

Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital with tags 2012, Collage, destructuction, digital on November 9, 2009 by Daniel Allyn LeeHere’s something I was messing with this week. I think it turned out alright. Of course, what does it matter, the world will be gone in a couple years anyway.

Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital, Photography with tags Collage, nature, Photography, porn on November 2, 2009 by Daniel Allyn LeeI wanted to use pictures that I took for this is a digital collage. Most of them are nature shots from around my home. I tinted(tainted) all the pics with clippings of internet porn. I like playing around with source material especially with digital stuff.

digital cat today
Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital on October 19, 2009 by Daniel Allyn LeeThis piece is a few weeks old. I didn’t make any new collages this week. I think, it is a self portrait; I mean, it started of as one. I’m not sure what that means about me, but I do like cats.
