Asterix and Oberlix

From the 1970's French Comic books The Adventures of Asterix or in French Astérix le Gaulois. These comic books helped me to learn to read. They were my first real reading of normal super heroes in comic books. They were as popular as Tintin and Snowy. They are still being published today but with different artists.

The artwork is all fabric used like decoupage/collage. Most of the material is plain but some are patterned. There is no paint or markings of any kind. Once create on fabric, I had it stretched by a local art framers, whose learnt to frame these different works.,

Computer programmer for years, and love the creative process in coding software. However no one gets to see this creative process so have gone back to art. The last few years I have been looking for the best medium for me, and I think I have settled on 2 so far. I originally started with sketching and do like to sketch with graphite pencil. I've now also included Textile Art/Fabric Art. My inspiration is Bisa Butler, who creates life size pieces using American Black History. My calling is pop culture and comic book references. I've scoured a few 1960's Romance Comic Books as reference as well as using some of my own photographs of animals and things around me..
