life drawing...

This was such a refreshing exercise, I can't remember the last time I did any studies from life so having a four hour session was pretty good. I got a bit experimental but life studies all the same. I also forgot how tiring it is looking all the time when you're doing lots of small drawings...

ah, yes. back on the train...

On the train to canterbury these are a couple of a6 sketchbook drawings...

big tree small paper...

I've wanted to make big versions of my drawings for ages but I haven't quite been able to overcome the fear of scale that I've had. This also embraces my complete obsession for old books and old paper. I think this is going to be one of a series of works...

more painting....

so I've been working hard it this big painting. Drawn out all the boards and getting the majority of all the elements painted in. I got a bit too into the idea of being realistic with the tones and details of the faces and looking at them together so far, some of the contrasts are bit too extreme between the people. Nothing that can't be corrected though. I'll be working hard to complete this asap. Exciting stuff!

painting...

I started a new commission today for a restaurant / cafe / bar in worcester called 'the arthouse'. I've not painted properly for a good while so it's really exciting and I'm jumping right back into it! wooo! I'm drinking ginger beer and listening to owen. it's all good!

posters...

new posters for jonquil & house of brothers and jim fox....

head & shoulders pitch....

this inky number was a pitch for head & shoulders through saatchi & saatchi. The slogan for the ad was ' see anything you want in hair except dandruff...?'. Inspired by visual mind tests & symmetry and a big old nod to gnarls barkley video ' crazy' here's what happened...

coffee shop painting...

this is a outdoor painting I just finished for a coffee shop called 'Cafe Belero'...
