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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Embroidery.

I've recently found embroidery and the processes involved to be quite a therapeutic and relaxing way to make art. Not only that, it looks lovely as well. I have been sewing away all day and night and have finally created my first piece which is for sale on my etsy page. This piece is sewn onto white cotton using coloured cotton embroidery threads, a six inch hoop is also included with this piece.

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.

Promarker Drawings.

Here are a few examples of my promarker drawings. I made these pieces in 2012 after practising for quite some time to get the technique just right. These are some of the better examples from my promarker work.

Specialist Pathway.

These two pieces are part of my specialist pathway for my current college project. My project is based on 'Death and Discarded'. Here are images of skulls I have drawn of photographs I have taken. I have drawn the outline and the detail of these skulls using my Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet, I have left the inside area of the skull white to add a contrast to the fabric patterned background I have added.

Digital Colouring.

A few months ago I bought myself a Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet. I practised using this by outlining photographs and capturing the features on the face. I then went on to digitally colour these outlines to match the photographs. I have digitally coloured the below two images using block areas.

Dot Work.

Here are some scanned and detailed dot work drawings I have done recently. I have drawn these on plain white paper with Staedtler permanent markers. Each of these images has taken a lot of time, precision and effort.
