Paint,paint,paint...

Two new paintings I have recently finished as part of an ongoing series of artworks featuring people with matchboxes for bodies.

Why matchboxes? Why not!

The World's Liveliest Party Game!

Found this old game in a bric-a-brac shop on the Isle of Skye a few weeks back. 'The more rapidly the trading proceeds, the greater the babel, the more laughter, and the more ludicrous the excitement.' They were lying! Rather splendid box though.

Production Line

I've been hitting ebay hard over the last few weeks in preparation for what I like to call 'operation car!' I now have enough vintage Meccano wheels to get me started on the project that will also involve laser cut plywood, screen printing, hand painted elements and packaging design. Really looking forward to diving head first into a 3D project and hopefully the final results will make it worthwhile.
Also found a few nice bargains on ebay recently which should help inspire the new project!

A print to shout about...

Toddled my way over to Bath a week or so ago to get a print done for a couple of friends 30th. On recommendation I popped into The Fine Art Print Company where the ever helpful Dunstan managed, in the blink of an eye, to print my image with colours so crisp you could almost swim in them! It's so refreshing to find a print company with the care and attention to produce prints that are so close to how you created them on screen. Bloody marvellous!

Some quality gasoline...

At the end of last year I finally picked up the paint brush again after a long, long time. It felt good to be putting actual colours onto a surface rather than just dropping them down in photoshop. Hopefully there will be more where this came from in 2009!

Prints

These three prints are now available to buy from The Art Market. They would make ideal, very late Christmas presents!

Wedding Gift

A little glimpse back to the end of 2008 and the wedding of friends Lauren and Jason. This is the wedding present I made to remind them of that amazing weekend down in Cornwall.
