Work in Progress

Hi All! Encouraged by the recent influx of works in progress, I decided to show you all mine. I'm building up a body of work entitled The Invisible Circus at the moment, and this is my most recent sketch. I don't have a working title on this, but when it is all done and dusted, I shall upload the finished piece.

Breaking Bad

I've been very lazy of late both doing new stuff and posting on here, so here's a drawing I did in Photoshop of Walt from Breaking Bad. I added the watercolour splashes to hint at the violence in the show and I also like the texture in the blue splash as it looks a bit like a chemical reaction. And of course he cooks blue crystals!

He has such a great face for drawing, great lines and full of character.

Vibrant idea...

Residency in Paris with 'VINGT Paris'

  
The residency is open to artists–based anywhere but Paris–working in all mediums, be it drawing, installation, photography, video, sculpture, painting, performance, writing or other.
We look for curious and open-minded artists who value engaged research as well as an exciting artistic outcome, and who have an interest in working in and with contemporary Paris.
The invited artist is free to work in any way s/he wishes, as long as the work relates to or deals with the city–and more specifically Paris–as a subject.

Residency provides: a 15m2 studio apartment in Paris 15th arrondissement (hosting one artist). 
Residency period: November 20, 2011 – December 20, 2011

Moate Culture Night 2011

A big thank you to those from Tinderbox who contributed to the art and photography exhibition in Moate for Culture Night. A dead space under stone arches was opened up and provided a great venue for the day, although it was quite cold! The little Tinderbox table went down well with the public and added a micro dimension to the all the work you do. Cheers Jane, Emma, Esther, and Elida for posting everything down, I hope they return to your doorsteps in good nick. The photos may be seen here...

Here's hoping we'll do this again soon.

Pur-pose photography exhibition- I'm in it!

Hi everybody. I was really happy to be contacted to take part at this event in the George Bernard Shaw next Thursday. I'll have a framed work which will be alongside that of 13 other photographers. If any of you happen to be around I'd love to see you at the opening (from 7pm), or you could drop in another day, it's there till the 3rd of November, and tell me what you think. I'm very excited about it
