Sai with messy hair: Black ink and watercolour painting -...

Rated Nov 02 • 1 review • painting, portrait, ink, watercolour, girl • matthewjamestaylor.com

This is a painting of my friend Sai. She has very curly hair that's always a bit messy. She tries to straighten it but I think it looks a lot better when it's all crazy and untamed.

I love her hair in this image. In fact I think it really makes the painting work. Straight hair would not have the same impact.

I used this Flash picture on the front page of a previous version of this website. It's based on a pencil drawing that has much more detail.

Blooming lotus: Flash animation of a flower opening -...

Rated Nov 02 • 1 review • animation, computer graphics, vector art, flowers, flash • matthewjamestaylor.com

I was inspired to create this flash movie after watching a friend work on a lotus flower animation. It's interesting to examine how plants and flowers grow and open. It's very fractal-like. This design was made by using only four simple shapes and only three different colour blends.

This is a close-up of the graphite pencil rendering. This was scanned on my old scanner just before it died, that's what the vertical lines are.
