Markham Artist, Joel Wijeyesekera, Reveals the Wonders of Scribbling

From Joel’s Blog | SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2011 | Scribbling | http://jwijeyesekera.blogspot.com/2011/06/scribbling.html

So once again, stumbleupon has provided a site that I absolutely love. This time its a site that allows you to draw, but the brush/drawing utensil does a hatching effect that looks really cool when you draw the images. Now its a matter of me finding a brush/effect/feature like that in Photoshop hehe. Anways, enjoy!

ps. If you wanna check it out for yourself, the site is

From Joel’s Blog | TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011 | Sometimes its clearer in black and white | http://jwijeyesekera.blogspot.com/2011/06/sometimes-its-clearer-in-black-and.html

So I think i’m gonna be sticking with that scribbler site for a while. I just find my ideas to be conveyed more instantaneous when it comes to using that site. I will still use photoshop, photography, and other art mediums, but I think this type of effect or style for at least the summer and see how it goes. Anyways, enjoy!

Our First Outing!

Check out our Image Gallery http://artistsincubator.wordpress.com/image-gallery/ to see photos from our booth at Unionville Festival (June 5, 2011).

We were given this opportunity to preview a few pieces by local artists by the Unionville BIA and MAC. Paintlounge joined us with a “community art” component – everyone passing by on the street was encouraged to contribute to a spontaneous collaborative painting.

Enjoy the images!
