It seems the making of my book has taken over my life. After this i'm gonna be an InDesign pro, just sayin. Ask me anything in about two weeks. Apart from that it's been essays and writing 'to do lists'. Favourite past-time. Doing a shoot on wednesday hopefully, so should have some shots up from there by monday at the latest. Until then, heres some drawings...
Meow, i've been working working working :-) After my last set of drawings, i edited some of my latest Lymphomite pieces. Then i started thinking of Lymphomite related insults like 'you thick lined lympho', which no one would ever understand but me. . .anyway, these are a few of my newer ones (gotta save some for the exhibition innit), gonna work on more, as well as more paintings now that im back in Leeds (Rat City). The sun is shining , i love spring!
I've been working my bloody nips of these last few days. More than I expected to do at home anyway, it seems Jeremy Kyle doesn't do it for me anymore so I have more spare time. This is a good thing, as I've been drawing drawing drawing, writing, reading, and visiting cupcake cafe's when I get a spare minute. The life of a badman. Anyway, here's a few bits I'm working on. Not sure if the book is going to happen anymore, all these book printers are trying to rinse me of my pennies with their quotes, dark times.
Oh and I started using felt tips recently, as seen in some of these ("miley cirus will be the death of me..." par example).
For those who know me you will most definitely know by now of my 'little rat problem'. That's right, rats, in my student dig. Horrid, worst thing ever. It's literally taken over my life, so for that reason I decided to do a rat inspired series of drawings. If I had it my way I wouldn't have done this, but they took over the kitchen and my mind and this is the result. The last 2 drawings are rats tails. Thanks rats, for fucking up my Easter.
New pieces for the exhibition are in the planning stages. Just broke up for easter so decided to take a break from my rat infested house and come to London. Hitting up a few galleries tomorrow, but in regards to my own work im working on a few text based canvas pieces, lymphomite paintings (on a massive scale), a clown series of images, more drawings & getting my books printing (fingers crossed). So yeah, lots to do! Its all good though, just need to do a big essay at the same time (poomplex). ! I shall be posting up some progress images as i go along so keep checking the blog! I really want to do a gaga series of images too...homegirl is doin it big
I'm ashamed to say i haven't blogged in a while, and this isn't purely down to Glee or Max Branning loosing his son, i swear. Apologies. Truth is i have also been working on a few new pieces, including a few paintings and of course my drawings. Just finished my second sketch book so working on the next then the book can 'get-ta-printin'. The painting is going better than i imagined too, there's something about a canvas that really brings out the lymphomite pieces i think. Also decided to get back on it with the photography, and I'm currently in the planning stages of a 'clown series', which should be down over Easter. Exhibition soon, saw the space today, amazing! But scary how much there is to do. WILD one might say. Enjoy these few pieces...
