On Point

It's been quite a while since the last post, but I assure you there's a good reason for this, I've been alluding to this project for a while and i'm going to play it cageu for a little while longer, but things are moving into place, so hopefully over the coming weeks I'll be able to put some newsworthy stuff on here, so sit tight please.

In the meantime, here some brand new bits from my sketchbook, so hope you like.

In the meantime...

Been busting my ass earning the wage and still tending to a big project we're looking to wrap up soon, but that's still classified for the time being, so ears open and fingers crossed.

Last friday we attended an event in CT called Paper Girl where drawings are donated and then at a later stage handed out at random on the street, which is interesting. Anyway, so here are two sketches I submitted. Very low light, so excuse the grainy images.

More to come soon!

Wet Paint. And Ink.

Here are some of the new traditional bits I've been doing, two quick oil paintings done on the Sea Point promenade and a couple of sketchbook pages. Interesting digital stuff are also in the works, but not ready just yet, so sit tight!

Hit the ground running. Yet again

All the best for the new year, guys! It sure looks to be a big one, so let's carry this momentum forward and do it right. Things have gotten off to a cracking early start in the Dutchman's stable, so let's hope that he too can maintain the tempo 'cos there's a lot to be done!

Here are a few sketched I did during my recent research/surf trip up the coast.

Auctioneering

Well, I've decided to put some new ink work up for auction, so go get them while they're hot! Keeping the prices low to start with, so it's a good opportunity to invest in some original art without spending your salary.

Just search "Hendrik Gericke" in the link above.

Up and running

Well, I finished and delivered forty new little paintings to Salon 91 in Kloof Street about two weeks ago but we finally got round to hanging the little bastards yesterday, so go have a look if you're in Cape Town. They're well priced too, so it's a wicked little gift idea.

Also this past saturday my work went o display at the Climate/Gallery in New York, so fingers crossed that we can perpetuate that little avenue.

Well, here are some of the images, click the link above for the lot.

Distraction

Well, here's the last doodle I just abandoned, no point carrying on with it for too long, so NEXT!

Silly Season

Hey everybody. I trust things will be winding down as the end of the year approaches once again, but not just yet. Crazy busy this side with a bunch of interesting projects and developments. I will have work showing at three different locations over the holiday season, I am wrapping up a ton of little paintings for Salon 91, my representative gallery in Cape Town, so if you’re in this neck of the woods, do swing by.
Some work is also on display at Off the Wall gallery in Paarl and that will hang until the end of January. Lastly, three of my ink drawings will be on display at the Climate Gallery in Queens, New York for a drawing exhibition during December, so if you happen to find yourself in the Big Apple, do swing by. I've attached one of the drawings below, it's a three-part set entitled Humourless Tumours.

Commissions.

Seeing as I am currently wrapping up a bit of a painting marathon, my schedule is easing up a little (this is bound not to last long!), so if anyone is interested in gift paintings and commissions over Christmas, just give me a shout, you can NOT go wrong with original artwork For a load of examples of my range, click the links below.

Well, that’s me done pitching for the time being, hope you’re all good this summer and do drive safely!

Forward Movement

Well, here's the latest digital piece. Any advances I've managed to make in this medium owe a lot to the guys at Massive Black, they offer some serious help to those of us who are out in the sticks as far as production art is concerned. If you're interested in this kind of thing, check out their dvd section.

This drawing is a personal concept project that I hope to expand upon, there's a great big story behind this, but that'll be revealed in time. For now, hope you like the purdy (dark) picture.

Old Skool, New School.

Man, I've been a bit lax with the updating Been busy though, so not exactly lazy. Moving house and working hard.

At the moment it's a painting marathon, doing forty itty bitty little paintings for a show at Salon91 (in CT) this December. I have also (kinda sorta) completed illustration work on the short film Thanks Dad, mentioned in the post below. I will have more information regarding that as it is completed.

Some new work I'm posting is both digital and ink, as I've been messing around in both, so hopefully I'll have something COHERENT for you guys soon. In the meantime, hope you like!
