A many-layered thing
November 19, 2012
The other day, while putting together my presentation for the Surrey Art Gallery, I came across some old photos that I had taken of a couple of my self-portrait paintings in progress. I thought it would be interesting to share some of the photos as I actually forgot that this was how I had created [...]

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost

I’ve now been in Iceland for a week, and I’m well into my first drawing. I also managed to spend some time sightseeing around the city and visiting some of the local tourist hotspots around Reykjavik as well as swimming with the locals at the thermal pools near me. I’m trying to balance work with [...]

From the land of fire & ice
September 2, 2012
I’m now working in my new studio, for the entire month of September, in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of the SIM Residency. I arrived yesterday and started setting up my studio, but I was so jetlagged, I needed a little time to adjust to my new surroundings. It was cold and rainy and but felt [...]

A boy is a work in progress
August 3, 2012
There’s no Fridays & Friends this month, as I’m still going full steam ahead with my “pretty boys kill me” campaign. I’m really enjoying working on these small drawing studies for my pretty boys kill me series right now. I find there is such a different quality to my mark making when I work small [...]

Pretty Boys Kill Me in Reykjavik, Iceland
July 13, 2012
This September, I have the amazing opportunity to attend the one month SIM Residency in Reykjavik, Iceland. While I’m there, I will be working on my new drawing project, pretty boys kill me. This series of large scale drawings is entirely done in coloured pencils on paper and so far, I’ve finished one drawing. This is [...]

March 30, 2012
I thought it would be fun to reveal the two characters in my new painting with before and after shots – to show how my painting progressed. A few blog posts back, I already showed the face of a lion as the masked man in this painting from my Of Myth and Men series. So here [...]
