I found a few images online whilst looking for books on images of the body from Amazon and this particular image attracted my attention and i decided that i would like to sketch it out. Again with all my […]
Hi I was hoping for some advice or experiences from anyone who has sold work via an online gallery or website. I produce mostly small scale drawings. I appreciate that this is probably a fairly vague question but any answers […]
For the second time, a-n will be supporting artists to attend the preview of the Venice Biennale. With a short deadline, a-n members are invited to submit their applications without delay.
So as a contrast to the Rabbit Shaw walk in the last post I decided to walk around behind a less salubrious estate, the phrase ‘council estate’ gives a mental picture of what might be ahead. As we walk through […]

The latest test piece is the one I am most excited about of all the testing this year but I know its in a really raw state. I was looking at it again today, there are little moments within the […]
On saturday Sam Mace and I, as students taking part in the Artist and The City exhibition at the Potteries Museum were invited to attend an Artist Soup Kitchen where we all sat down around a table actually within the […]
Concentrating purely on the stomach and chest of the female body builder, the muscles which define the body doesn’t define the sex of the person. You tend to find that women who do alot of extreme body building loose there […]
today i went wild, having no concept to draw from i let the materials fly and become these, this was more about process than the final pieces.
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here My eyes get tired, and the bit of brain involved with the visual, it gets tired too… but it takes a while. I’m talking four or five days in Florence. By the fourth day […]
As i had previously stated, i have used the inner wheels chain mechanism as a source of power in order to rotate additional wheels, which i have attached linear to the large wheel doing this will allow me to add […]
SILENCE and yet there are plenty of sounds, the traffic passing, a collared dove cooing, someone moving around in the church room below. But it is a quiet place where the busyness can stop. I can write, listen, read and […]

This drawing was taken from an image online, that i cropped to focus on the face. The woman on the original image was very muscular and i wanted to see if i could carry this from the body into the face. […]
Orchidaceous was a collaborative project from last year with the Suffolk botanist Martin Sanford. Martin is an expert on orchids and so it seemed obvious we would work around that theme. Combing orchids and human sparked both our imaginations, so […]
Before i started this subject on the female nude i created a few works on portraiture. I believe that portraiture is very important. The works that i created where not created by making an exact replica of that person by […]
