Creative Blocks

Although I work as a freelance artist and designer, I've always struggled with creative blocks which makes my job particularly difficult. However, I do consider myself to be a creative individual but I find that it takes me a long time to muster up creativity (and usually that ends with me doing a few sketches and then throwing them out. I'm also a very good paper-waster).
However, now that I have three university assignments due at the end of April, and psychology exams at the end of May, obviously, my creative block has passed and all I want to do is create.
It seems like procrastination is the key!

I've been working on a few bits and pieces recently (and have more to come!), but this is currently my main work priority. I've done quite a few portraiture pieces in the past, but it's never been something that I instantly go to. It's usually doughnuts. Or cake. Something baking-based. So I'm currently being my own worst critic.

I need to ink it all, scan it, adjust it, and then hopefully do the same process with some kind of background. I'm looking forward to finishing her up though, I want to see where it goes. I'll be posting a few more images of the process as I'm going!

Also, check out my Behance online portfolio to see more of my HQ work. Find me under HEGehrke!

Old, new and current pieces

I've been busy with university recently (I have a dissertation to create!), but here are a few examples of my work and what to expect from here on.

First Post & Items For Sale!

I haven't had a blog in a very long time so this is pretty daunting, but hopefully I'll be able to stick to this one as I now work freelance and have to advertise my work!

I've always loved art, and I've recently become involve with a tattoo company which buys my designs but I'd like to expand further; student loans and grants really don't stretch that far sadly. So I've decided to start selling prints of my work (as well as originals), so please, if you're interested, get in touch with me via social media - my contacts are on the right hand side.
I also do personal commissions when I've got time off, though I'm currently closed.


The piece I currently have sale is this one; £15 per print on quality matte paper. Enlarge for HQ.
