and now for something different

So. it's been a while since I was last on here. (why is it every time I make a new post I seem to say that?).. Anyways. new painting. tell me what you think. make me an offer if you want (don't worry I won't extort you).

ABOUT AN HOUR ALBUM ARTWORK

So I've been absent from the blog for a little while. There's only two followers so I'm sure it hasn't frustrated anyone. Despite my absence from the blog, I haven't been doing nothing.
I've been working on this for some friends of mine whose band has been slaving away in the studio writing and recording recently. They asked me to produce some images for the front and back cover. The whole thing has been constructed and ordered now, so should be available to the public very soon. Please show some love to the band. and of course the artwork.

I'm this very second about to settle down to my sketchbook, so hopefully will have some new pieces up very soon. so sit tight, keep an eye out . . and share the love.

Doodletastic!!

New Canvas, 'Doodletastic' is finished and ready for criticism. It has taken me a few evenings after work to doodle all over the canvas. I used a Brush Pen for a lot of the thicker lines which was a new experience for me and took a little while to get used to.

As the title suggests, this is a doodle, there has been no planning or pre-conceived ideas going into this.

I'm pretty happy with this, and I hope you like it too. - x

I've now made a slight change to this image.. slight, makes it a bit more legible.

AdSense

So I just enabled this on my blog. . . does anyone already have it? if you do, can you let me know if there's any point in keeping it.. or offer me any advise that could help me maximise any profit I could take out of it. Thanks
.
if anyone is sitting there wondering what the hell i'm talking about. AdSense is this thing where google ads appear on my blog and i make money if people click on these ads from my blog..
.
I suppose I just need to get as many people to look at my blog as often as possible
.

any thoughts would be appreciated

Where's The Wise Man

Black marker on canvas. 18'' x 14''

I'm not really sure what was going through my head when i did this. But a friend advised me that I should step out of my own little sketchbook world and produce some finished pieces. I had a couple of canvas' kicking around (the other one is still sitting in wait) and some black markers. would be a bettter idea for me to prime the canvas with something next time so that I have a smoother surface so that the lines are smoother and the pen nibs don't get destroyed.
Anyways. I hope you like.

oh. and it is for sale. so drop me a line if you'd like to make an offer.

at last.. something's going up

i finally took a photograph of this piece. figured i might as well put it on here.

Stay Patient

I'm a little useless at photographing and uploading my work. This does not mean that I'm not still producing the work. There should be some new images coming up in the next week.
love to anyone who cares enough to be reading this.

Some work I've done in the past.

this is stuff from school, uni, my spare time and even my bedroom wall.
i'm showing you this so that you can understand me and maybe my work a little better. . . . good luck with that
