doodling on my bedroom wardrobe this morning

Just had my work featured on the website of the awesome Juxtapoz magazine
take a look here

here’s a second, far quicker study

Had a day off today so between watching 2 months worth of 24 and Lost I took the time to try some charcoal studies…I’ve never used charcoal before and it was a bit of a revelation - the fun of scribbling lines and smudging with your fingers should never be underestimated

just got round to setting up a Twitter account

Here’s the other of the 2 major works. this one was done in 3 five hour sessions, with no music…
gotta say I’m slightly happy with this one
i’ve been running purely on caffeine for the past 2 weeks so I’m going to take a break for a few days, look out for some new personal work [...]

been no posting in a while as I’ve had 2 major timed pieces to complete, this is the second of the two, an a1 biro and pencil illustration. Had to be done in 2 five hour sittings

Deadline for this canvas (along with a big painted pile of other stuff): tomorrow morning
Here’s how it’s looking

Still working on this canvas, starting to take shape a tiny bit

Been working on this canvas pretty much non-stop today,
here’s how it stands as of 5 minutes ago:

For reasons that seem pretty trivial now, I have waited until 4 days before the final deadline for this canvas to start it…
Hoping that Parkinson’s law rings true over the next few days
