Corner of the studio, work features in some of the demo videos.
New studio
I’ve spent a lot of time converting an old unused garage into a studio space. Although quite small it will mean that I can begin to work on lots of new artwork, I hope to work on sculpture as well as large scale paintings. Just a few details to finish the space but the roof is no longer leaking and the new door and windows allow for excellent light.
Work in progress
I’ve been working on these small panels. Building up layers of texture with a filler paste and a 3d pen. I will add more layers before applying paint.
Looking through some old work
I’ve just found all these small artworks and have been inspired to experiment with the techniques, creating textured surfaces and painting with acrylic and drawn over with charcoal.
New work
I’m experimenting with a 3d pen and cement to create a textured paint surface on these small panels.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for all the comments about yesterdays final YouTube demo. I promise I will reply to all your comments as soon as I can. I'm pleased to know that the demos have provided so much inspiration for others and to know that artists have had work exhibited and sold following some of the techniques in the videos. I will try to update the blog page on my website daily with details of new work. I really want to work on a new book of art projects and will start work on this in the next few weeks. The YouTube channel will not be deleted so all the videos will still be available. The videos can also be watched on my website. I will return with fresh Ideas and hopefully more inspiration when the time is right. Thanks for watching.
Last YouTube video
Finished filming the last YouTube demo.
New video
I’ve started to film some of my last YouTube videos (for now) This is a new version of the Paul Klee technique seen some recent videos. I know that this method has proven to be popular with viewers and I hope it inspires others to give it a try. A few more demo videos will be available until I post the last one tomorrow.
Quitting YouTube
I’ve decided that the YouTube channel is no longer working, and at the end of the month I will be posting my final video. Each video has become very time consuming, filming and editing them takes away from time that I would like to spend on new artwork and projects. I feel that my work has suffered and I need to get back to trying to be an artist again. The channel will not be deleted so all my old videos can still be viewed. I have not completely given up on the channel and hope after a long break I might be able to refresh the content with new videos that will hopefully bring inspiration to others. I would like to thank everyone for your support and feedback over the years, all your positive comments have meant so much to me, and I wish you luck on your creative path.
Recent work
New mixedmedia drawings.
New video
This is the latest demo, filmed in the studio.
Studio update
For the last few months I’ve been converting an old garage into a new studio space. This has been a huge task for me as I have no experience of this kind of work and I have been held back due to difficulties sourcing timber. I hope to have the studio completed in a few weeks and it should provide a much needed place to work on larger projects including sculpture.
Postal delivery
Sorry to say that I will no longer be sending any smaller items by postal delivery. The shipping costs have become far too high for items such as books and prints and it's made them impossible to send overseas. I would not expect someone to pay more for post than the item being delivered. UK delivery will available but please contact me first. I will continue to make ebooks available and try to add more downloadable content such as videos, tutorials and templates.
New Demo
Still working on the construction of the new studio space. Had a few delays to cope with. I have started to use it to film some new demo videos including this latest which is a continuation of the metamorphic artwork. 30 canvas panels 6” × 6”
Sorry for the delay
I apologise for the delay in dispatching the orders for the monoprinting booklet, there was a slight mix up at the printers. The Booklets will arrive on monday and all orders will be posted immediately. I will include a print with the booklets to thank you for your patience.
Mono-Printing booklet reprinted
I will have copies of the mono-printing booklet back on the website. I have just sent the order to the printers and I expect delivery to be next week. You will be able to pre-order your copy now from the website shop.
All gone!
The 10 FREE prints have all gone, thanks for your interest in this artwork. I will dispatch the print in the next few days. Heading to Australia, USA, Sweden, France, Germany, Ireland and the UK. The print will be available to buy for a limited time.
FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY (10 copies)
FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY - This Is Not Art
At 3pm today I will have 10 copies of this A4 print to give away. I have been so pleased with the response to the recent demo video and I hope it has helped to show that negative comments should always be treated with the contempt that they deserve. The artwork I produced uses printed words from a comment that I received on one of my demos, I welcome constructive feedback, but insults are unnecessary.
Latest YouTube demo video
Posting a lot more content on the YouTube channel at the moment, trying ways to improve on the quality and responding to viewer requests and comments.
