Elvis sketch


This is a sketch of The King I did a while back for a friend at uni. I usually don't do too much drawing from photographs and try and make it look real. Embarassingly I'm actually quite fond of it! Paha!

SUPA HOTT mural at the SoCo


Today was the last day on the mural. Finished off the T in HOTT added a moon and a sun to create some depth and signed if off the corner like a boss. As for the size of the piece - the little frame on the far left of the photo is the door. A big thank you to Matt Salvage of SoCo Music Project for giving me this opportunity and also for taking this picture for me!

So here it is everyone! SUPA HOTT!!! -- enjoy

SUPA HOTT mural at the SoCo (work-in-progress)


So here's what I've been working on the past few days. SoCo have invited me in to do a wall piece for them. Its still a work in progress - as you can see the SUPA HOTT bit isn't all completely done yet. This is my second day on it. The picture quality is a bit on the crappy side and once I get it done I'll take pictures with a digital SLR so the true colours come out. Looking at it now, that last T is looking a bit awkward on its own there...

Be Cool


I just got playing around on my Photoshop today. One of my first pieces to be done entirely digitally. I've been seeing a lot of banner-like design and I thought I'd have a little go at trying to incorporate some clean cut fonts into it. Drawing with a tablet is haaaard.

Dreams and Descriptions







Recently I have been working with fashion student Natasha Clarke on her final major project. The project is based on dreams and the I was asked to illustrate various parts of it. One of the briefs that I had to meet was to create an image for each entry of the dream description. The headings were (from the top) Broken Nest, Alter Ego, Time Travel, Going Underground, Insects and Transformation. The text was supplied and had to be on it. Most of the materials I had used is scrap paper lying around in my studio and from unsellable books from a nearby charity shop. Really enjoyed making these images but now my room looks like the war zone.

Card Prints



Yesterday I got down to the print rooms. It was only Charles in there so I thought I'd get some use of the left over card in the paper scrap and make card prints. I did the J of hearts first and then moved on to do the K. I'm really liking the process at the moment and might just have to keep busting a couple more out.
(also, the J of hearts is actually based on my beautiful gf Jenn Evans)
