Sketching whilst he fishes. Lyme River in West Linton, Scotland.
Visited a walled garden on holiday with the family. This area was a bit secret and really beautiful, like the colours were a bit insane. (Someone gone a bit crazy with the wondergro?)

Alison - colour experimenting


A sketch of my friend Alison while we had to 'mind' the final show. Experimenting with use of and application of colour aswell as speed of drawing.

One liner- paint palette


This is a design for a competition from social designer. The brief was around the theme of 'one-liner'. I decided to use this to create an image using a single line rather than make a cheesy one-liner comedy image.

happy rain

This image was one of two created for a competition from Design21. The brief was to create a design for a plate centre around the theme of 'happiness'. I tried to avoid the cheese and focused on the idea of taking an optomistic view on life and seeing good things where alot of people only see things to be glum about.

A series of Nakedness

This and the following two are thanks to the two episodes (if you would call it that) of the life classes recently from channel 4. This was the first. It's all a bit scribbly but I hope you can see it's a middle aged man on his back?! Was also experimenting with some new pastel and charcoal pencils that were a present a little while ago. (I was rather afraid of them but I think they're lots of fun now).
Not exactly my favourite. It's the one I had the longest on, so naturally ended up overworking it with far too much colour and blending. Another lesson learned...


Another c4 life drawing. Some bits are all squiffy but i still rather like how it looks overall.
