Yet another debut on Natural Adventures, despite seeing the artist’s work about the place for quite some time now. This character piece is by Weas, or at least, that is what the letters say. The reason I haven’t posted any other pieces that I have photographed is that Weas hasn’t included letters before nor a signature, so I never knew how to identify the artist.

The character is most recognisable for the little ‘doughnut’ mouth, which is common to all Weas’ pieces. The character is reasonably simple in design and execution, probably taking only a few minutes to paint. I expect the blue blob was painted first, followed by the pink shadow and then the black outline and detail last. Expect to see more from Weas, now that I have started the ball rolling.

This post has been written in advance, because I will be making an early start today departing for our skiing holiday to the French Alps. I will try to post every day while I am on holiday, but it all rather depends on how things go. Meanwhile, I’d like you to enjoy this beauty from Hire.

Although Hire’s work has been difficult to decipher from to time, the letters are always there, however, I have noticed that there he is drifting into a kind of abstract presentation, and this piece isn’t unlike some of Ments’ pieces, which I used to describe as organic/abstract. I love the colour selections, the shapes of the letters and the neon glow of the border green in this writing. First class stuff from Hire.
