Layouts

This is a digital painting of a layout I drew, it is from college. I'm going to start doing layouts again as I have had a lot of work lately doing realistic layout and visualization in architecture.

Nelson Mandela

Tried a digital portrait of Nelson Mandela, not over happy with it but will try it again.

Architectural 3D visualization in Chile

This are a couple of stills for apartments being built in Chile. I also did a 3D animated walkthrough which I will post once I know its ok to.

Unfinished paintings

I have been clearing out all my work lately and been finding a lot of unfinished paintings and studies. Here are a few, don't know if I'll finish them yet.

Black and white wedding invitation

Wedding invitation for a couple.

My Dads 50th

Its my Dads 50th birthday, so I decided to do something a little bit different and give him a caricature.

Some old portraits

Couple of old portrait studies again from my old website.

Old digital paintings

My website is about to go down so I thought I would download some old work on to here while its being redesigned.

Caricatures of ME

I have started a new blog to post caricatures I have had done of me by artists around the world. There are links to each artist next to their drawing.

Check it out.

Quick gesture of beetles

I did 1 minute digital sketches of the beetles, I quite like the result. I only looked at each of them once so it was kind of gestural.

Having Fun

Ok, I'm starting to approach the way I work in a different way now. Basically I care less what people think as long as I'm happy with my work than thats all I'm worried about. I spent so long doing gig after gig that I found the enjoyment of the work slowly fading as it became my job. Although I love doing live work I did not need to take as much on as I was doing, so I have stepped back slightly still doing live events just not as many, concentrating more on commisions and illustrations as well as my fine art work. This seems to have done me a world of good, relaxing and just enjoying what I'm doing which is really why I started this in the first place.

I'm now drawing how I want to draw without worrying about the out come, people either like it or don't and I'm now happy with that, I have not had any complaints anyway. So here are a few recent ones which I had a real laugh drawing, sorry no reference photos I will have to start trying to get some while I'm working, it just slows me down:(

One in Colour

Heres a quick themepark style drawing in colour.

Back to the Gigs

Ok another gig using different pens, just a cheap black felt I found in the bottom of my bag, I think there worked out quite well considering all my other pens were dead.

Another recent commision

Heres one of the latest pieces of work I've done.
