flawed

There had been some pretty flawed characters hanging out at 'The Flogger and Boot' recently....

pale

Tis verily a pale imitation. I could write a whole bunch of stuff to go with this but it might just end up leaving you feel pale with tedium, so I shall let the image speak for itself..!

the suitcase contained..

Here's a real left-field commission I had: www.bridging-arts.com.
It was about forced labour and what things people bring with them when they leave their own countries. This one was for people from Portugal. Odd one eh?

Christmas credit crunch cracker

Hohohoho! Well, its about that time of the year, and a special credit crunch year. Let us hope that we don't all get crunched. Wishing everyone who visits the 'ol blog a Happy Christmas.
Oh, and fingers crossed for a prosperous new year.....!

Rambunctious

Ram- bunctious! Geddit! This is a job which would have been fun to do except the pay, it would have left me homeless and my poor wee children eating gruel for the foreseeable future! So I declined, and the children still are able to have an extra dish of sweet nourishing gruel every other Thursday! (Still have home though!)
[Note to myself-must find out exactly what gruel is one day...]

similar

In the days of yore, there existed an olde worlde technique, called 'painting' It required a brush, or several, water, paint and some dexterity with mixing and application. Astonishingly there was no command z. Here is one such example, found in a cave, somewhere in olde englande..
There are certain similarities in the appearance of the the two young ladies and perhaps the non-existance of the command z explains this strange occurence, although the relationship between them and the candy floss is, altogether more difficult to comprehend, and cannot altogether be explained by the lack of the aforementioned command.

This idea went down like a lead balloon..

Underwater parties? What? Have you gone raving mad?

Vacant

Well its all been pretty quiet on the blog front, not enough time! Ain't that always the way? Anyway, instead of doing what I should have been doing I did this....

packed

I saw it. Its all true I tell you!

clique

Bit experimental this, went through about a hundred versions before the idea sorted itself out. Quite pleased with it though, whaddya reckon?

island

And here is one I did earlier....

clutter

Clutter is a state of mind!

Memories eh? Whenever I hear the phrase "that's something that i'll never forget," it rings as hollow as a bell. This is for the woman who used to be my Mum, and still occasionally is.

detatched

I had several other ideas which I was going to do for this, but somehow this one sneaked out. Which i'm kinda glad about!

Sail

'Har, har har, me hearty, tis not a night for setting sail. There be a foul taste of GEL in the 'air tonight. St Elmo's fire as well I wouldn't be suprised. Har. Ha har. ha.

poof

Well, somehow, and i'm not quite sure how, I managed to resist the obvious charms of the word and mid stream this drawing popped out. I'm never quite sure how this happens, but I tend to go with it and trust my arm knows what it is doing, while I go and make a cup of tea. Or coffee. Just so long as the arm does its stuff and is finished by the time I get back. Thus is an artwork made. Another amazing but true story!

Oliver2008

Enough said!

foggy

Quick quick! The kids are asleep do it faster faster think think think!

sourtwo

I just had to do this one. Baby Theo drinking orange juice and making the best faces! He loves it and comes back for more though!

sour

Well, heres my late night Sunday effort. Partly art directed by my daughter aged 2&1/2 who told me to put the bloke at the back in twice. We've just been finger painting which was great. We did a pretty good duck and then she covered it with black paint, and when I complained, she looked at me in astonishment and told me it had gone to sleep. Foolish daddy! Anyway, I digress....
