Lino Printing.

A few weeks ago, I was packing up my house/room to move and came across a few spare pieces of lino which had never been cut. I put these to good use and made a bunch of prints, some leaf prints which are about the size of a standard bookmark, and some hannya mask prints which are roughly A5. Each print varies and has something different and unique about it, this is because each piece is hand printed (not printed using a press). I will be finishing the bookmarks in the coming weeks by making them double sided (red and black). These will be available later this week from my etsy here!

Dancing At Angles.

I recently got commissioned to make a double-sided flyer for a new monthly event which will be happening in Norwich. The event is called Dancing at Angles and will be held at The Birdcage (23 Pottergate, Norwich) on the 1st August. There are three bands playing this first event,  Thieving Icons, Edenites, and Reno Dakota. 

The flyer I have designed will be going to print this week, make sure you grab yourself one to get £1 off entry on the door! 

Flyers will be handed out around Norwich in the next few weeks.

iPhone 4/4s Cases.

Today I have set up a pre-order for two different phone cases, both of which have drawings by myself on. The drawings I have chosen are the dotwork fox skull, and the digital sheep skull and floral drawing. Each phone case will be £15, and will be posted at the end of Febuary 2014. You can find both of the cases on my easy store here.

A6 Original Ink Paintings.

Recently I have been creating a selection of A6 signed original paintings. Each piece is painted with black acrylic ink onto white, 150gsm, recycled cotton rag paper. I have made 4 out of 20 pieces so far, these are available to buy from my easy store for £8 each.

See them here.

Black And White Drawings.

Recently I have found out that I rather like making completely contrasting black and white drawings. I have been experimenting with different ideas, where the background is black and any part of the image/detail is in white. To start off with, I found this to be a bit of a challenge, I found that the pens i was using were either too thick, or would bleed through the paper making the drawing a mess, and ruining the white in the drawings. After some experimenting, I have come to start perfecting this technique of drawing. Here are some of the images I have drawn using this technique so far!

Each of these images are available to order as digital prints here!

Commission piece.

Today I started a long over-due commission piece for a relative. I am painting a black and gold Buddha using acrylic paint on a large scale canvas.

First part, the eyelid (the photograph looks brown but is actually gold and black shading).

So far so good. 

Rope skull

Sitting in watching bad day time TV and doodling is pretty much all I will be doing until September/October until I start university. Here is a drawing of a skull inside a rope heart. 

Dotwork Portraiture.

I recently tried out portrait drawing using dots. My first drawing was Johnny Depp as Edward Scissor Hands. I was incredibly surprised with the outcome, for the first ever piece of portraiture I've done, it came out ridiculously well! 

It is now available to order as an A4 digital print on my Etsy store.

College Final Major Project.

For my college final major project I am creating an art book. It will be filled with etchings and prints and little strange things like laminated flower pages and weird text. Here are the first few prints of the book. 

Print.

I've been working with a few different printing techniques recently, lino and drypoint etching. Here are a few images of the final cut pieces I have done this evening, ready to print tomorrow.

Progress post.

I'm currently drawing a koi fish using dotwork. It's taking ages but it definitely going to be worth it.

Lines.

Really into drawing and shading using lines at the minute. Here are two new pieces, a heart with a quote (includes a missing word) and a crow.

Words.

I've always wanted to keep a diary, ever since I was young, but I've always been terrible at writing well. I recently realised that my sketchbook is sort of like my diary, I use a lot of quotes which relate to my daily life and so on. Here are some words/feelings from recent affairs in my life.

Painting.

It's been a long time since I sat down and made a proper painting. This is a vase of roses, painted in acrylic on canvas board. Hoping to get this done in the week. Will be for sake on my etsy page when it's completed!

Art in progress.

I have a whole new bunch of drawings I have done recently but haven't uploaded. Here area few quick pictures of some.

Moshtache Records Piece.

This is a piece of digital illustration I created for 'Moshtache Records' as a part of a CD cover. I completed this piece by first by drawing the outline and painting the colours in ink. I then felt that it would work better as an illustrated piece. I digitally coloured this using my wacom bamboo graphics tablet, and the smudge tool on Photoshop.

Mini Zine #1

Here I have created an A6 mini-zine filled with 24 pages of my own original artwork. The artwork inside this zine is styled very traditionally. Put together and made by myself using Photoshop, paper, a printer, staples, and a lot of time and effort.
