Some more 'in progress' images from

the Kingston canvas. Its all coming together

quite nicely, but there's still a fair bit to do...

A few photos taken on a recent trip to

New Hythe. A place that kind of reminded

me of Dungeness....

A few more recent photographs of the exhibition

piece that I am currently working on. It took a

little while to figure out if the scale was working,

but now that i feel it is, I can start layering up with

paint, ink, crayon and whatever else I end up using....

More 'progress' shots in a week or so :p

Some old stuff based around a local construction site,

and ideas of expansion and a gradual envelopment.

This was before photoshop and I parted ways....

And......these are the two completed parts of the final

outcome on display. Accompanying the painted steel

section were nine photographic/print based pieces that

varied in size. The idea was to create a literal (paint vs

photography), and a non-literal (the impact of the size and

detail difference) contrast, being that the two were displayed

opposite each other on a corridor.

On a different note, anyone who hasn't visited Dungeness

should try and do so :)

Some 'in progress' images from the final outcome

of a project on Dungeness that was completed a few

weeks ago. The photographs are of a 2m by 1m piece of

steel that was worked on to using acrylic paint, enamel paint,

ink, crayon, spray-paint and charcoal. The overall image is

a kind of non-literal atmospheric representation of the

Dungeness landscape from memory..... it's also my largest

mixed media piece to date :)

Another 'in progress' mixed media piece for

the "Foundation Course: 10 Year Celebration"

at the Penny School gallery in Kingston.

The canvas itself is one that I managed to find

a few days ago. It was one of them large (48 by 30 inches),

generic "floral" printed canvases that you can get from

home furnishing stores. It was outside a house by some

bins, and I have fondness for working onto found

objects, so it was perfect! The painting itself is based

on some recent photographs I took of a few gasometers

in Southampton...

An 'in progress' mixed media painting started a

few days ago. It measures 27.5 by 23.5 inches, and

is based on a photo taken from a port in Turkey...

A recently completed mixed media

painting. Kind of a study for maybe

something bigger...

A few canvases painted over summer,

the first in a long time...

Experiments with light...

An old ink and brush drawing...

Macro photographs for a photography project

from a couple of years ago...

Greetings...

I thought it was about time I started a blog or something, until i get round to making a decent website.... so I have!
I'll be using this mainly to show art work I've done since being at uni, and maybe some stuff from foundation etc. As I'm now very much into painting and more large scale mixed media stuff, I'll also put up photos of 'in progress' stuff. I'll also whack up pictures of my growing vinyl art collection :p as well as other random stuff I've bought...
