PROGRESS...

I had to do something radical and counter-intuitive to bring it alive, so I added some black lines, and it's really starting to get somewhere now. Just a few more adjustments to make, then it's finished...

HELLO NEW VISITORS - !

I've been getting a lot of visits since I was featured in some articles online recently. Hope you enjoy my work, and please tell your friends..! Continue scrolling down, to see my latest works. X

Tsunami ( after Hokusai ), pen & ink, scanned / coloured & textured in Photoshop, 2013.

VERSION 27.0...AND COUNTING.

Isolated parts of this acrylic piece are starting to look great. Paintings can have personalities of their own, and they don't make it easy for the artist. It can take weeks of trial and error to wrestle one into shape. 

Don't forget, if you want one, email me at alexik-artist@hotmail.co.uk.

SNEAK PREVIEW #1

Postcard series inspired by New York, which I may feature in the forthcoming 'urban' edition of MONOBLOG ( which now has a revised release date of sometime in September 2013 ).

More to come...stay tuned.

SNEAK PREVIEW #2

The Mark I version had a lot of fans, but hopefully they won't be too upset with the final version...whenever that happens. It definitely is not finished.

Here's some close-ups ( below ) of the same pic, as it is currently...

Part of the pink section looks interesting...

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

It was the hottest day of the year, and I was out on the mountain bike hitting the local trails with fellow artist Rob Walsh. At the entrance to the Rifle Range, Stourport, I rode straight through a colony of white butterflies. Don't worry, none were hurt...they just flew into the air like an explosion of confetti. So I waited for them to calm down, and snuck back, leaving my camera on the ground with them. You can detect patterns in their movements if you watch the whole two minutes.

PREVIEWING NEW EDITION OF 'FUTURE-ROCKER' BLOG

As you can see, I'm really going to town on my revival of the 1970's French fantasy comic style. It was such a beautiful and original art form, spawned by the counter-culture at the end of the 1960's, and influencing the look of films such as The Fifth Element, and the original TRON.

The new edition of FUTURE-ROCKER should be out next week - fingers crossed! ( Ooops, sorry - the next edition will be published on July the 16th, and features loads of stunning work by artists, musicians and movie directors. If you like my hyper-colour style, you'll love this blog, so hang in there, it'll be worth the wait ).
