Gold



A selection of quickly drawn sketches made while watching Stay Gold - The Emerica DVD.



Pressing pause, drawing quickly, then rewinding (because the pause timed out), fast-forwarding, playing, pausing and then drawing quickly again was the general process.





Drawing images filmed with a Fisheye lens makes for some interestingly curved objects.

Kommt



Not sure if I'll be sent a hard copy, but I have another piece in this Seasons Velosophie, the Free, Austrian Bicycling publication.



Your can have a look at the Online Durchblattern! Here, I'm on page 13.

“Bicycling…is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds" says the Louis J Halle quote.

He also said (in the same paragraph); "I have shot in and out of stalled traffic like a goshawk through the woods”, which I am well into.

Broke

Hi all,

I hope to be posting more again soon.
Hard times of late have brought work to a halt.



Except for therapeutic wacom drawings like this ^^

Chief



Recent Portrait commission for East Coast Skate chief Chris Allcock and Girlfriend.

This was a challenging piece to get right. It's tough to find a balance when drawing long hairs, slowly draw all the lines carefully or swoosh 'em out with long sweeping strokes? A bit of both seems to do it.

'Phones



Latest piece - made from 80% fun and 20% serious thought.

The main theme of this image is 'Tangibility'. The nostalgic tactile nature of retro audio gear contrasted against the fleeting and beautiful exsistence of small, wild birds. Also the idea that sound itself can never be fully harnessed or grasped but only experienced. These where the general feelings I wanted to bring together.
(I slightly changed the colour scheme since the Snippet teaser as the colours really didn't work on paper!).



Framed and unframed prints of this image are available NOW at Cherry Cherry in Norwich, which I'm pleased to say has been selling a steady stream of my work so far.



This image is also available from my Society6 page.
