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.

Bass

Wedding Invitation front-piece for good friends Rob and Nina.



This American Gothic based sketch was made in response to the initial ideas Rob and I discussed, obviously much changed as the project progressed.

My thanks to the happy couple for being rad clients and taking a whole bundle of reference photos for me.

Visit This Business Is Closed to hear Robs Bass skills (I think Nina has some cupcakes blogged somewhere too??).

Everything Illustration has slowed down a bit for me recently. I'm taking a little break to get things back on track, gradually.
