I wake at 4am and start gathering madness

If you DID enjoy my post-it animation, then congrats. I bet you don’t get enough sleep.

Home: Revisited

The Arc, Stockton is running a project over the next few months to celebrate working class northern artists. I agreed to take part in a brief which explores what ‘Home’ means – this meant filling a sketchbook around the theme of ‘Home revisited’ I decided to explore ‘over the border’ of Middlesbrough. The part ofContinue reading “Home: Revisited”

More on plants

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’”

Illustrating song lyrics

Psychic LanguageThere is a psychic languageThat exists between our mindsWhere senses have collidedSpace seems to swallow timeInvoluntary voyagesStarboard subconsciousnessGives to you a snapshot giftCherish it before it driftsAs we go back in timeI’ll meet you in the psychic discoThrough your eyes I will read your mindI will wait for full dilationBefore we travel back throughContinue reading “Illustrating song lyrics”

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”

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”
