From their site:

“Throughout 2010 we will be working with a selection of top artists and designers from around the world to create artwork which we will be selling online. Every penny made from art sales will be going to Unicef’s appeal fund”

Messing – one of life’s finer pleasures. Especially, if like me, you have a studio full of stuff that has not yet been messed with depsite having been there for months…

I am hard at work on lots of projects at the moment, as soon as I get the go ahead I’ll post some of those up but in the meantime this is an experiment with my new paper and not so new acrylic inks…

Ive been working on this for a week or so – had paper problems with the first version and had to abandon ship and start over. Not before testing out if it could be ironed. It couldnt.

Tidying up my ‘puter – out with the old and in with the new so to speak, and found a whole host of paintings, images and sketches that have never before been seen by the naked eye (or even a fully clothed one). This one was about to be the navigation image for my portfolio site before I got completely engrossed in something else…

Surface Pattern

Been toying with surface pattern a lot lately so imagine my joy when I saw the Tigerprint competition this month was…tadadadadadadaaa….surface pattern.

I duly got to work on a simple illustration that reflected Spring, played around with colours and composition….then I read the terms and conditions of submitting my work as an entry to said competition and swiftly changed my mind…I’ll keep it as a souvenir instead

It’s been an extremely busy month both workwise and personally…just checking in quickly to show Im still here and havent been accidentally locked in a cupboard or beamed up into outer space and stored in an intergalactic space museum next to Elvis.

Working on lots of projects at the moment and hopefully I’ll be allowed to show y’all some scraps soon

Happy 2010 to everyone – here’s an A4 pen and ink drawing I did a couple of days ago. I havent worked with just pen and ink for a while but it’s something I’ll work on more this year. As well as eating more cakes, making my first million, world domination etc etc etc

Not my usual sort of thing – experimenting with my Wacom again (correct drivers all downloaded and installed) and limiting myself to B&W plus one colour…and 2 images in one (but that started off by accident…shhh)

Maybe I could create a whole series of birdies…
