I opened up my ‘Do not sit on the chair’ illustration to feedback from a very dedicated and active online group – the uk Rare and Unusual Houseplants Facebook Group. I wanted their feedback on what plants my plant-loving naked ladies would have in the living room I got overwhelming comments and pictures of peoplesContinue reading “More on plants”

‘Advertisements’
I’ve been playing with the concept and styles of advertising, mostly for products / events / businesses that don’t exist. I’ve been making retro-inspired posters for fake events and brands, using various online models, to convey different ideas. I like that they’re not advertisements at all, but fakes, with elements of the surreal and absurdContinue reading “‘Advertisements’”

Humans doing stuff online
Back on my ‘Draw me nsfw’ Illustrations – some of them aren’t really that NSFW (digital illustration) I mentioned in a previous post about people posting themselves online to be drawn, or to just share themselves. Why are they doing it and why am I looking? Exhibitionism and voyeurism obviously. But a lot of themContinue reading “Humans doing stuff online”
Back on my Minotaur thing
I circle around once again to Minotaurs – with ‘willing’ life models gathered online, I’m sketching my naked mythical creatures You’ll noticed the body types I picked aren’t monsters, and they are weirdly aesthetic – I’ve changed the proportions a bit so they’re not quite human. I also gave them cows heads, which is theContinue reading “Back on my Minotaur thing”

Isolation
I’ve been thinking about vignettes or compartments….possibly apartments. Isolation, and what everyone is doing in their homes on their own. I mean…not like that. Maybe kind of like that I did wonder a bit about compartmentalising both ourselves and parts of ourselves and what that might look like in relation to lockdown. And how thatContinue reading “Isolation”
Lick / swallow
Lockdown art illustration Practicing line work with a simplified illustration. I have a few variations of the same basic idea, it changes from a fox/rabbit, fox/butterfly, then dog/mouse. Same concept – a stretched jaw devouring something delicate – the delicate thing being unconcerned about this fact. When I moved from black and white I triedContinue reading “Lick / swallow”
Artists cookbook
We all submitted recipes and did interviews for the covid artist support cookbook last year – but they didn’t add the Interviews in them – which is a shame because it’s nice to know a bit about artists who made the images (There’s a copy of my interview below) – I’m not sure if IContinue reading “Artists cookbook”
Lockdown Art Challenge – Aubrey B
The lockdown art challenge either never ended or has started up again. And there’s nothing to do but sit about practicing styles. This is a portrait of local Teesside musician Micheal CG in the style of Aubrey Beardsley. It’s a simple black and white illustration (actually black and beige to mimic paper colours) with elementsContinue reading “Lockdown Art Challenge – Aubrey B”
