New Blog

I have started a new blog called SylvieKomix.  For now, it contains all pertaining to Mrs. Aplux's story.  She is so insistent on staying over that I thought she deserved her own space:  http://sylviekomix.blogspot.com/

I will try to post every weekday.  Tomorrow Mrs. Aplux will celebrate the day!

Later Work

 

In later years, Mrs Aplux embroidery work often took an abstract feel, mostly inspired by nature's beautiful shapes.  

Peaceable Kingdom

 

This ancient piece from the National Museum of Handiwork  is a favorite of Mrs. Aplux and has inspired many of her own pieces. 

Early Work

 

Here is a sample from Mrs. Aplux's early embroidery work.  It was inspired from a piece she saw at the National Museum of Handiwork that I will post tomorrow. 

Time Together

 

The story continues.  My experimentation with Photoshop and colors too.  Next panel?  May take a few days. 

Embroidery School

 

The tale of Mrs. Aplux continues.  Trying Photoshop for the color. 

The Story Begins

 

Mrs. Aplux's story begins.  More on Monday!

Brief Encounter

 

I go on neighborhood walks.  A lot of dogs do too.  I love watching them.  Here I felt inspired by a very joyful meeting.  

Embroidery

  

Here is Mrs. Aplux at one of her favorite activities. Mrs. Aplux is becoming clearer and clearer.  Her story will start soon. 

Mrs. Aplux on her Walk

 

Here is Mrs. Aplux again.  Having acquired some hair.  On her way to the library (to get a new comics, of course.)  Themes explored with the queen are re-visited with this odd little character.  I find her less intimidating and hope to develop her story little by little.    

Mrs. Aplux Reads

 

Mrs Aplux has been keeping me company since I first painted her.  I like her very much.  Here she is reading her comics. 

Tiny Mural

 

Here I am indulging in my fantasy of mural painting.  Would it look good on the side of a large building?  

New Weapon

 

The idea comes from the fantastic blog from writer Amy Biancolli:  FSO at http://figuringshitout.net/

Life deals a lot of s*** cards.  The queen attacks and moves on.  Thank you, Amy.

Street Art

 

 Living vicariously through a comics.  Street art is so incredibly inspiring to me.  One of my heroes:  PHLEGM.  Check his work at:  http://phlegmcomicnews.blogspot.com/

Drawing the Sun

 

What happens when the pen is left to its own will.  

Eugene and his Friend

 

Something cozy for the weekend.  

Mrs Aplux

 

I was playing with acrylics and Mrs Aplux showed up.  Who is she?  Not sure yet.  Will she come back?  I hope so.  

Life Blows
