Morning Wood

Silver and Lead

Painty painty oaky.

So, in November I have this mini exhibition. It's a joint show, me and Madeleine Denyer.
For it, I am working on something quite different to what I've been doing lately. The whole idea of it is based on the imagery of religious icons, and feel of good and evil. Scary and Nice. Jekyll and Hyde. The show is around Halloween time, so there is going to be a feel of that too. I'm pretty excited - painting onto chunks of Oak and other rich hardwoods...



This image is the beginning, I will update more as it progresses.

Drifter.

Enjoying the sun and listening to The Dead Weather today.

Its been a while...

It has been quite a while since I updated this.
I took a month or so out from doing any drawing/design work. Needed to clear my head and get a fresh look on work, after the manic rush of the end of 3rd year.
University: Complete.

I will be updating frequently from next week onwards - once out internet is up and running at home. (BT and I, are no longer friends.)

Here is a little something for now...

J,Q,K,A

Forgot to say, I am working on some producing a set of my own playing cards. Still in very early stages right now, but here is a sneak preview as to where I am at right now:





I am planning on adding more to the new site soon.

Wainy Rednesday

Today was the last day of my degree show.
Seemed to go well...

Pretty wet out, and very still in the air. An eerie ending.

Very weird day.
Plus, it has just taken me half an hour to work out that if you try and upload an image on here that is in CMYK, all the colours will switch around. Gotta be RGB for some reason.

Here's a cut-out-and-keep Mary:

new website up!

End And Poetry

The end is very nigh!
Setting up the degree show exhibition next week, with final deadline of everything being in - 4pm, Friday 22nd!
I am currently working on my exhibition piece - a series of portraits of the Hell's Angels. 'HAMC AFFA'.
But here are some images of the Poetry Taxi from Bath Lit Fest 09 that I worked on:

Three weeks tomorrow, all of my work is due in...
The end is nigh!
I have my book finished - sent to the printers yesterday, and I will be picking it up after the weekend.

For the rest of the duration, I am going to focus on some mini projects - lecture posters... and right now I am working on some bottle labels. Should be interesting.

Will post some bits asap. I will update my website soon too!

Here are two things that I have been working on lately - a (fake) Mike Nelson lecture poster, and the cover for my book 'With Precious And Grace: The 1953 Isle of Man T.T.'
I will be putting more up on my website in the next week or so:

The London show went well at the start of this month - was very busy, and a great venue.
Brick Lane is possibly one of the coolest areas in the UK.

3 days...

The London Exhibition is not far away now - Work goes up on Thursday (2nd April), Private View on Friday then it is on until Monday. The website for the show is: www.weareinprogress.co.uk
