Ok, I’m making a new book containing work I’m producing at the moment and based around the seemingly chirpy title “Drawings For Summer Time”. Here’s some examples of my sketchbook material I’m considering:
more soon, or less, depending on how extreme my editing is…
Read MoreI will have a one-off piece of work on exhibition as part of the Mail Me Art 2 project. The exhibition will run from Friday 30th July until Thursday 5th August 2010 at: Red Gate Gallery, 209a Coldharbour Lane, London SW9 8RU. In time for the exhibition a new addition to Mail Me Art books will be available featuring most (if not all) the work from the project, including mine. The book, Mail Me Art: Medium Without A Message will be available in a week or so from Borders, Waterstones, Amazon.com etc…

I thought I’d update this blog with something I finished the other day… I’m still on a circus theme…
Now the second year of university is almost over, I’m making a start on a few projects I have lined up over summer. I just got a seriously nice job with two friends designing and printing a new map for Barton-upon-Humber as well as some work featuring in a couple of exhibitions in London and Norwich. I’m also putting together an illustrated book about Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Now my last essay for this year has been handed in I plan to rest and watch Diagnosis Murder and daytime telly for the rest of today.

It’s coming up to assessment time for my second year at uni so much stuff to do. These two illustrations I made a while ago. They’re editorials I made for Charlie Brooker’s Guardian articles. The first one is for the article Michael Winner’s Dining Stars. I enjoyed the lines; “Winner revels in his arrogant eccentric’s role. Every Moment is deeply, unpleasantly strange”.
Read MoreI have added photographs of my models for a university brief “Make Me A Monster”. The models were made using 2mm gauge galvanised wire armature wrapped in aluminum foil as bulk and covered with Super Sculpey, cured and painted and varnished using acrylics. The bases are made from old taxidermy wall plaques, that were previously used for mounting small animal skulls.
VETO launch is happening tomorrow from 6pm onwards, includes freebies and copies of VETO ISSUE 4 featuring some of my work.
As part of a project a few weeks ago we were asked to design one or more monsters. Here’s a few drawings from my sketchbook which led into 3D works in polymer clay, I will upload photos of them soon, but for for now enjoy.
An unofficial series of postcards for the UK’s Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake. Unfortunately the 2010 event is canceled, I was planning a trip there, never mind… I painted these in oil, ink and pencil – Not used oil in ages, unfortunate it takes so long for it to dry…
My work is featured alongside 30 other artists’ work in the 12th issue of Carpaccio Magazine. Flick through their online version here or buy it via MagCloud.com
