Weirdly effective leftover image from the calendar

Weirdly effective leftover image from the calendar. Its a rejected cover, made from a reversed version of the Mam Tor piece. It's good it didnt get used really as from that angle, it's even less like Mam Tor than the original 😂. It looks more like Hen Cloud to be honest... Maybe I'll find a use for it in a few months.

At long last I've put my new website together. There's some tweaks I think, but in the main it's there. What is it they say about builder's houses never being finished? Same for web designers too I reckon 😂.

Go and take a look. There's clip art to buy (more of that to come with a bit of luck too) and more info about my work.

Pen and ink birthday card for my daughter.

The cat's really grumpy and my daughter's fascinated by it. She always wants to know where she is and what she's been doing so I managed to sneak a photo (no easy task) and turn said photo into a card for her birthday. It's blurry because the cat was trying to escape as soon as I got the phone out 😂

Facial sketch.

Close up of an art piece I'm half way through at the moment (don't want to share the whole thing before the client's seen it!).

I'm terrified of drawing and painting faces under normal circumstances. It turns out that as long as I can alter the strokes a bit, it's not so bad. This is based on my daughter (it looks nothing like her now though) and then tweaked for the piece (essentially that means making her features stand out at a distance at the cost of detail).

Spending most of this week doing art on the tablet

Spending most of this week doing art on the tablet and listening to music on Bandcamp. I used to find music interfered with art but not so much these days. The right records even make the experience close to meditation.

Today it's Reuben Vaun Smith's Sounds From The Workshop and yesterday was Earth Trax. Both brilliant albums.

Anyone have any recommendations for music to draw and paint to?

Time-lapse video of the Angel Of The North artwork

Time-lapse video of the Angel Of The North artwork I did for this year's calendar. I decided to use the North for June (the summer) rather than the winter. All done in Clip Studio Paint by hand.

Poster for Buds and Spawn. I really enjoy doing my own version of psychedelia. It's great to do stuff by hand and by instinct.

Artwork for this year's Eclectic Calendar. It's Mam Tor in the Peak (a place I like to go running in, when I can) and I put this version together in Clip Studio Paint. It'll probably be September but who knows?
