FEATURE: Ad, the Hell's Medic

The first artist I'm going to feature is Ad - Addy to his friends. This guy is a good friend of mine, and an amazing artist - he is a huge inspiration for my collaging and journal work. The wonderful work he produced (and still does!) got me to start up the Embodiment challenge a year and a half ago, a challenge that's still going strong to this day.

I love how vibrant the colours are, especially in those skies - this got me digging out my gouache paints to try out similar techniques for clouds (which I've always had trouble with).

My personal favourite is Webbed, pictured above - I just can't get over how intricate yet free-spirited the lines and brushstrokes are.

You can visit Addy at his Wordpress blog, Hell's Medic. Go have a look - it's a great read with lots of artwork to ogle over. If you're interested in buying some of this delicious artwork for your own collection, he also has an Etsy here.
