More New Abstract for sale on ImageKind




My last day of my current contract with Microsoft ended on Monday so now I'm on my 100 days off. I decided to take the summer off and work on the house, a few art books and my graphic novel. Plus have some fun kayaking, bicycle riding and taking a few trips. I'm also doing some new Abstract Art Images and here are some of the latest. Let me know what you think and if you like them a great deal, go to www.imagekind.com/mikecressy and order yourself a few.
Thanks and hope you are enjoying the summer1

A new Batch of Abstracts!




I can't help myself. I just keep doing more of these things. They are fun to create and I'll be selling them on ImageKind.com, Amazon (soon), Redbubble, and through my studio if anyone is interested in picking up one of these for their house or as a gift. There will be more posted soon so come back to the blog to see more.

More New Abstract images...




I'm having a great time doing some new art via the Abstract way... it's a bunch of fun. I'm actually using old art I did some 8 or 9 years ago and running them through Photoshop. They become almost and sometimes totally unrecognizable from the old art. I hope you dig it as much as I do. Many of them are and will be for sale as prints on www.imagekind.com, so if you feel the urge to get some new and exciting art for your walls without spending too much money... buy a few of these new Abstracts.
Thanks in advance. See you next post... MC

Kayaking last weekend with work buds...






Another weekend kayaking with friends from work. We started out at Aqua Verde on Lake Union in Seattle and headed over past Gas Works Park to Fremont under the I-5 bridge deck where we did a big turn around and fought all the power boats who just came out on the lake. It was a beautiful day. Afterward we all went for food at Tawon Thai the over to the university district for some Bubble Tea. After that we stopped by the old Saint Marks Cathedral on Capital Hill to check out the architecture of the place. Great stuff. Here's hoping the rest of the summer is as good as this start. Summer solstice in two weeks at Fremont!

Graphic Novel preliminary sketches...




This sketches date back over a year to when I first started the graphic novel. I was trying to find a starting place and these were some ideas I thought of for a starting point. One of them made the final cut. Can you guess which one? I'm now on page 172 and counting. Should be at least another 150 pages of work or so... I'll post more as time goes by this summer with actual finished pages some time in the fall. Stay tuned. Hope you had a great weekend like I did. Sunny and warm,... just as I like it!
