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”

Further Snakes at Let Us Eat Cake
Upcoming exhibition
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

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”
Ladies and Animals
I’ve become mildly interested in ladies with animals and I don’t know why. I just like them holding each other – coexisting in the same space I pondered on this, reading scraps about it here and there. I did a bit of research and found a lot of classical portraits of women holding animals inContinue reading “Ladies and Animals”
On the subject of snakes
I’ve been playing with a few images that interest me – specifically Medusa and her snakes. Everyone knows the main story of Medusa (turn people to stone), and then everyone will correct you on the story of Medusa to highlight the female misery aspect. You’ve got rape, then being cursed, then killed etc. etc. ButContinue reading “On the subject of snakes”
Minotaur couples therapy
Creating space / playing with a flat illustration – learning digital drawing in lockdown Listless minotaurs – this is a quick digital drawing of some pensive minotaurs. I was trying to create a sense of cold distance between them using the colours/ background, with varying degrees of success
