This is Lucca. It could be just about any narrow lane in the old part of a Tuscan city, but this particular lane is in Lucca. The bicyclist is appropriate, because Lucca is a bicyclist’s city. The old city wall around town has been paved as a broad street for pedestrians and cyclists, and everyone, natives and tourists alike seem to spend much of their time biking the wall. Down in the city, bikes are as common as at Oxford.

I’ve been been playing around with digital drawing and collage the last year or so. I began by drawing silhouettes with the mouse. I then use the silhouettes to sample various watercolor backgrounds I have painted and then photographed. I’ve been using the results to make design mugs, tees, smartphone cases, ties and other things on Zazzle for sale in my Paintbox Silhouette shop. Just lately though, I’ve been taking this a step further and creating digital paintings or collages. This image includes five watercolor backgrounds and four hand moused silhouettes and over twenty digital layers.
I began with simpler but more graphic images like these:
These simpler images involve fewer layers by utilize the same hand drawn silhouettes and watercolor backgrounds.
All of my digital collages are available here as prints on paper, metal, or canvas.
