Four views of Bristol, two oldies, one tree, some Berlin shoppers and a young Salvador Dali.
Most of these had a process video on the second page so that’s obviously a thing that goes down well. Also that picture of the boat scrolls, I didn’t just draw the front.
Thank you to everyone for all the likes and comments, I enjoy the few moments a day I get to draw so much and getting support like that is wonderful. 🙏
Let’s do another year. 💥💥💥
Seven Black and White Photos.
Just over a week ago I got challenged by Jess to do the Seven Black and White Photograph challenge.
No context, no explanations, no people, no pets.
So here we are, all done. It was interesting working without the colour because that’s usually my fall back option.
I’m supposed to nominate some people now, which I’m not sure about. If you fancy it, let me know. I’ll pretend it was my idea or something.

Dream Paintings and Society6
I have uploaded some paintings done by the Old Me Way Back When onto Society6.
These are from a series I made call Postcards from the Other Side Of Sleep, they were all inspired by dreams I had at the time.
After some research it appeared to me that Society6 seemed like the perfect place for a time strapped part-time artist to get their work out into the world.
All their products are of high quality and I get a little percentage for each sale made.
I will be making some signed prints of these in due course which I will sell directly and therefore get payed slightly more.
In the meantime please take a look at my store on Society6 and if you don’t feel like buying anything but have an account, a few likes here or there would mean the world, raise profile and would be rewarded with kind thoughts.
On Society6
I have just begun submitting work to @society6 , where you can purchase prints, mugs, iPhone cases and al sorts with my work on!
After some me research it appeared to me that Society6 was a great place for time strapped part-that me artists to get their work into the world.
I have plenty more to add (and there will be some colour!) so please follow if you can and I’ll keep updating on what’s available.
Search there for my name: “Paul Greer” or else here’s the link 👍.
