New demo
After a difficult few weeks, I’m trying to get back to work in the studio. I’m still experimenting with spay paint and I’m working on this new multi panel artwork. I will film a new demo video today.
R.I.P Mum
It's been a very difficult week for me and my family.
My lovely mum passed away on 11th February at the age of 82. Dorothy (known as Dot or Dotty) will be a huge loss to all her family and friends, missed by everyone who knew her but especially by her beloved husband Harry, facing life now without the girl he met when she was just 16 and was with him for almost 64 years. It's difficult to watch the frailty of your parents and to see dad suffering such grief for the woman who was his whole world is heartbreaking. R.I.P Mum, thanks for everything, you will be missed.

Cardboard and spray paint
I’ve been clearing up in the studio, trying to create a space for working. These are samples for colours and tests for stencils.
Having a clear out
Unfortunately the studio was becoming cluttered so I’ve started to clear some space so I can get on with new stuff.

Cutting new stencil
Work in progress. Using this triptych drawing to design a new stencil. Trying out various colours and textures, seeing if I can produce a range of lines on different surfaces, card, paper and canvas.
Recent work
Acrylic spray paint and POSCA pens on 4 stretched canvas panels.
Sketchbook
Trying out a few ideas based on Bruce the mechanical shark from the Jaws film, always had a bit of an obsession with this, I love the film but it’s the illusions of old film effects that have always fascinated me. Seeing the film Jaws again a few nights ago, I've been wanting to use this image of the shark in a new work using stencils, POSCA pens and spray paint.
New video
Just finished this spray paint demo. Working with my hand cut stencils. Knot, Heart quite complex and this is a first attempt at something more ambitious. Colour used : Apple Green, Frozen Raspberry, Bermuda and Citrus. All from Montana Gold range.
