Climbing wall piece

This is a piece I did earlier for the climbing club at St Mary's. The box was 150cm in height and a bit over 100cm in width. It was dropped off at around 10.00 am yesterday morning and completed by 7.00 pm that evening.
The inspiration for the piece came from the famous section in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling - The Creation of Adam. It was more of the composition that interested me. I inscribed touch the sky into the arm of the man in the sky because of the heights of some rocks that some people climb to. I really like how its turned out. Almost a shame its going to have bits drilled into it.
....oh I've still got my Lloyds TSB art competition to be getting on with. To whoever is out there reading this,
Wish me luck please!

LIVE DRAW butterflies

Recently I've been involved in a theatre performance which involves live painting of butterflies. A friend of mine and I volunteered ourselves to take on this task, not realising how big the job was - we don't get paid for the hours (mon-fri 17.30-21.30) and we had to personally collect enough card board boxes (our canvas) to fill up an entire length of 25m wall and 2 metres in height. We chose to limit the palette so it would look better. I love how the blue stands out against the brown of the card board and the black acrylic. Honestly, its exhausting. ONE MORE NIGHT TO GO!!!!

Excuse Me

A piece produced for an editorial piece about a passive aggressive way in dealing with people who lack public etiquette (ie. putting bags on an empty seat). I used acrylic and brush for the line work and colour was later added on through Photoshop. If you didn't notice straight away the speech bubble represents a arm reaching out and gently tapping the character to the left on the shoulder.
