WORKS-IN-PROGRESS

Had to tweak this photo to death to minimise the studio's yellowy artificial light. I'll take a better one next time...

RUBBISH / I & II

RUBBISH I


This is the 'oh dear' phase every artist goes through while in the process of doing a painting. Next comes 'Maybe I can Rescue This?' then, 'Jeez, Why Am I Bothering?', until finally, six months later, you arrive at 'This is a Work of Transcendent Genius, Somebody Get Me a Medal'.

RUBBISH II


This ( below ) actually is rubbish, and I shall be forwarding the installation below for the consideration of the Turner Prize selection panel, forthwith. Joking aside, artists leaning toward the more 'conceptual' side love this type of studio detritus. Some even make entire careers out of it. When visiting the studio, they have an annoying habit of being mesmerised by the bits of tape, and ignoring the actual art. I had a cat like that.

NEW EDITION OF FUTURE-ROCKER IS OUT!

A blog about 21st Century 'futurist' design and pop-culture. Written, edited, designed, and illustrated by me. Here's some graphics for the latest FUTURE-ROCKER.


New 'favicon' ( goes at the top of the screen, on a tab ).


New cover logo, inspired by the graffiti around my studios, and heralding a series on urban life that I'm doing across my blogs.


Rejected 'Wonder Woman' vignette - see the final one by clicking on the link, above.


Full page design, below.

NO IDEA.

Below is one of my many works-in-progress. And I can guarantee the finished version will look ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THIS. ;)

See you soon!
