I'm on Displate!

Some fantastic news - I'm on Displate.com. Please check it out. They are a brilliant company that sell metal canvases with many other amazing artists which are 100% worth looking at too! It probably sound s a little different and because it is. By simply placing magnets on the wall it makes it so much easier to change the canvases you hang as often as you want. I guess this is a little bit of trial and error for me but hopefully it'll be a great place to start. If there's anything you've seen of my work that you think I could upload and sell as artwork please let me know and I'll put it up. 

Just type in my name and you'll find me!

Jumping out of a Plane!

Remember this??? Nan's Poem

Well at the time I was also supposed to do a skydive which was in aid of Pancreatic Cancer. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to poor weather conditions and low cloud which of course I can understand - I'd rather not land with a splat on the ground! But a year on, my friend and I have finally done it! And without a doubt it was the most amazing, fantastic and surreal experience I've ever had. I literally felt like I was flying I just didn't have any wings. 

So it's safe to say that I have every intention of doing it again at some point and I also have every intention of recreating Nan's Poem also in aid of Pancreatic Cancer. Despite the disappointing reaction from my tutors at university about this project at the time, I believe that I can do it better than before, and hopefully still achieve it with the goal of raising some more money for Pancreatic Cancer. So watch out - there will be more on the way, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Bitten

Not too sure about this one. My best skill isn't drawing people so I thought I'd challenge myself doing a full on portrait. Theres aspects I'm really pleased with and others I'm not sure about but it was good to do anyway. Theres never any harm in doing different things :)

One Day Project - Silence

So back to Illustration Friday now and this time the piece I uploaded wasn't actually intended for this topic but I thought it fitted the subject so well I may as well go for it. Won't tell you yet what it's actually for but at least you can have a look at the final thing!

Work in progress …

Angels

Still inspired by my Werewolf and Medusa images I decided to continue with the fantasy theme. I did need a body to refer to when drawing these so it became a case of me awkwardly taking pictures of myself first and using the photos as references and altering them accordingly. But, I am quite happy with how these came out. they're part experiment, part possible finals.

Work in progress … 

I didn't have my dip pen so simply used a pencil instead!

Things found in a Magazine

I thought I'd put up a small random post. I was browsing through an old interior magazine when I came across these wonderful images, completely made out of fabrics, yet perfectly creating the feel of the underwater world!

What to do when I'm Bored

Ever wanted your own wings?

I love backless tops and I actually found one (well, almost backless) whilst browsing the internet which I thought I could recreate myself. So when I felt like a change from drawing I made this exact top instead, and with ease may I add. So here are photos of my work in progress. Let me ono what you think!
