Free Adult Activity Page

There’s no signup or exchange of information required – For mature audiences

I hope everyone is doing as well as they can during these difficult times. I know I have had good days and bad days myself. In response, I’ve created an adult activity page that is free to download. There’s no signup or exchange of information required, just download and enjoy. If you do like it, share it wth someone else that may find enjoyment in it.

This was based on a Simpsons fan art sketch I created, and contains a maze, a word scramble, a connect the dots, and areas to colour. It is for mature audiences as it contains themes of alcohol and alcohol use.

Eat, Sleep, & Work

Branding, designing, illustrating and teaching have kept me super busy all year, which has been a wild ride. I did manage to slide a bit of my own stuff in between all of these projects. It’s pretty safe to say I eat, sleep and work. Here’s some of the stuff I did between my everyday projects on my down time.

I spent a solid 10 minutes painting a blue jay with my dads Tremclad. It was on the back of an old counter top that caused the paint to run quite a bit. I called it quits when I was half eaten alive by mosquitoes.

I picked back up on my throwback sketches of the heroes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Left to right – Stratos, Ram Man, Man-E-Faces, Buzz-Off, Orko, Fisto,

and Teela.

I have about four more heroes to go and then I think I’m going to take a break from He-Man for a little bit. I need to bounce around again for a change of pace.

I’ve Got The Itch Again

I’ve been very busy this past week.  A friend of mind Brad (no relation), twists my arm every once in a while to get involved in shows or contests…  nine times out of ten I bail.  This time I thought it could be an opportunity to see what I could do with my sketches I’ve been making of cartoon characters.  I approached it much like I was doing back in 2006 with my Music Royalty series.

Charlie Brown, Milhouse & SpongeBob SquarePants

I started on some Masters of the Universe sketches: Man at Arms

& Sorceress

I also got going on roughing out the fox for my forest painting.

I also learned gesso doesn’t last 10 years.  Mine was rock hard, I guess I need to use it more often;)

Thats it

Cleaning Up

I realized I didn’t share my last sketches of 2014:

Bert Raccoon

Harvey Dent aka Two Face

Beaster

The main Characters of Regular Show – Pops, Rigby, Mordecai, High Five Ghost, Muscle Man, Benson, and Skips

Last week I finally cleaned up my sidebar and background.  My sidebar was taking up too much vertical space, and it was missing a link to my commercial portfolio.  Even though I will miss my Leitch Selected Portfolio image I’m very happy with the new buttons. I shrank my gravatar and moved my info up beside it, as well as shrank my links to my other pages and added a title.  All of this allowed me to add a widget that pulls data to show my most popular posts.

As you might see I have doubles of my links….they’re just placeholder until I finish my other buttons within the next week or two.

That’s it for now, Later.

 

Designing Up A Storm

I just gotta say, thanks so much for all the support with my forest paintings. Almost everyone that bought the pieces sent me photos of them hung in their living room, dining room, office, etc. Means a lot.

I’ve been designing up a storm these last few months which has put my fine art and sketching on the backburner.  I’m falling into a nice rhythm so I should be getting back to it soon.  I’ve been doing lots of logo work, banners, social media badges and icons, and food photography.

Here’s just some of the stuff I’ve been doing for Wildly Fit. I guess it’s my duty to tell you to check out some of the health and fitness services Morgan offers (the free Start Wild group is happening next week).

Food Photos with Type

I started teaching in January.  Typography 1 in the Graphic Design program at Toronto Film School.  So far, I’m having a blast.  It’s pretty cool to make these assignments and then the students come back with great work that exceeds expectations.  They’re certainly pushing and inspiring me.Later

Helping Out – One Of A Kind

I’d like the thank everyone for their support with the forest painting. By Saturday morning I had sold them all.  If you’re interested in grabbing one of these let me know ASAP.  I’m not sure how many more I’m going to be able to make because the stencil will only last for a handful of sprays. I can make a limited number more. Once again if you’re interested in purchasing one, please email me at leitch@bradleitch.com subject line “forest painting”.  And in the email let me know if you want the grey or the natural background.

On another note…one of the many projects I’ve been working on the last few weeks, has been modifying my booth for friend and former roommate Claire Manning.

It started with sanding, painting, and adding new knobs to an old dresser.

She had an old Umbra door clothing rack that I repainted, and made notches in the wall, so it would fit and prevent it from sliding from side to side.  Finally I made simple shelves using cheap metal brackets.

Booth turned out great.  Claire, another friend Michelle, and I got up at 3:30am this morning to set it all up.

If you’re hitting up the One Of A Kind Show in Toronto, be sure to stop by her booth.  She’s at BOOTH P33. She’s selling tea towels, aprons, napkins and pillows.

Forest Stencil

I finished my stencil!  After 10 months of picking away at it I cut my last piece on Monday at 2:30 am.

Felt good to finally have it done.  The work wasn’t over though.  I had to make a frame to slide the canvas into so the stencil could lay flat and I could make some sort of registration.

After that I tinted the white areas of the canvas so my highlights stencil would stand out.

Then I finally sprayed it.  After layering colours over and over I got to a point where it looked perfect.  Here they are…

So as you can see, this is just a section.  I decided I can’t reveal it yet.  I have only a fox to paint in and I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.  From here on out any progress shots will be closeups until it’s finished.

So as I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I have spent the last 10 months working away at this.  It has shaved a couple years off my hands and back so I decided I would make other versions for as long as the stencils will hold up for other people to enjoy. Yup, they’re on sale.  Here they are….

---

3ft x 2ft (36″ x 24″) Spray paint on wood panel (grey)

---

3ft x 2ft (36″ x 24″) Spray paint & wood stain on wood panel (natural)

---

In the grey version I have painted the panel before adding the stencils.  On the tan version I have applied natural wood stain to the panel before adding the stencils.  Both are $200 each.

If you’re interested in purchasing one, please email me at leitch@bradleitch.com subject line “forest painting”.  And in the email let me know if you want the grey or the natural background.  Please note each painting is unique and will differ from all others (it’s the nature of this process) so they may differ somewhat from these photos but will look every bit as good.

By one for yourself or give one as a gift (wink wink, nudge nudge).

Back to work,

Homestretch

I’m in the homestretch now with my forest stencil.  I finally finished the first stencil which was for the shadows.

I’m onto the second one now which will make up the highlights.  It’s been going super fast in comparison…. there is just simply less detail to cut.

I’m super pumped to be painting this within the next couple of weeks.  In the first post about this painting  I mentioned it’s been a long time coming (about 5-6 years).  It’ll be great to move on to other projects I’ve had on the back-burner.  I’ve decided instead of making one painting from these, I will make a few of them.  Stay tuned! Next post should be the fruits of my labour.

Until then

Getting Inspired

I’ve been a bit all over the place lately, but I’ve recommitted myself to my forest stencil that I bagan at the beginning of 2014. It’s a beast, and with all of the detail it takes forever.

I’m really starting to make ground on it and you can begin to see the trees forming.

To get myself inspired again, I hit up a few art shows in only a couple of days. I checked out Hanna Hur‘s Get Well Soon Slow Editions Book Launch at Art Metropole which was different than most shows I attend. The art book was comprised of flower drawings created while in the hospital, of arrangements visitors had left for the artist.  It was pretty rad and the shop as well.

The second show I attended that night was Jon Todd‘s Outsiders at Hermann & Audrey which showcased his brand of portraiture and story telling through mixed media painting and collage. It’s alway great to see his work in person (like any artist for that matter) because you don’t get to experience the scale and depth of the materials used from a computer screen.

Then only a day later I hit up the AGO. I went to finally see the Michelangelo: Quest for Genius and Alex Colville Shows.

To be honest I walked right through Michelangelo: Quest for Genius.  I’m not sure if it’s just where I’m at with my own art, but I just found it completely boring.  The Alex Colville show in my opinion was amazing.  Room upon room of countless works and sketches spanning his career.  I found his water colours of the war really cool and thought they would inspire many concept artists with his execution.

Now that I’ve seen that Alex Colville inspired so much of The Shining I should finally watch it… this week would be perfect.

Happy Halloween

 

Battery – My latest Painting

I’m pretty pumped to share my latest painting.  It’s been about three or more years since I’ve painted anything over 8″x10″.

Here it is – “Battery” 40″x40″ Spray paint & oil on canvas (eyes are oil paint).

Here’s some process shots

It felt good to get back at it, and using spray paint as a medium is something that I grow more and more fond of, especially on larger works.

That’s it for now…
