I've been really getting into more cartoon, digital painting at the moment. Here's a self-portrait where I definitely didn't reduce my age by a lot on purpose - honest 😉 #selfportrait #characterdesign #procreate #digitalpainting #cartoonart

I'm currently working through this class and loving it. It's so well put together, interesting and having great assignments to work on really helps embed the knowledge. Watching the feedback videos has been super useful too. Highly recommend.

Working on the first oil painting of the year. A bit late for #valentinesday this year.

I have lots of unfinished art—7 or 8. I wasn't in the mood today so I set up a canvas and had a play—I got in flow and it was great! How many paintings have you got lying around, unfinished?

The last few days have been tough—covid really knocked me for six but I picked up my brushes this afternoon and am happy I did. Here's a little sneak peek at one of the four paintings in progress. #wip #contemporaryfigurativeartist #insomnia #troublesleeping #sofa #modernart #art #ukart

The characters I draw are real people, events, impressions, and sensations. They are stories, and when naming them, I try to express the substance of the work in words.

I am excited to announce the next call for artists submissions for our forthcoming show ‘Sanctuary’.

It’s a timely theme - and oddly I didn’t plan it this way..

‘Sanctuary’ - Exhibition opens 13th April - 25th May 2025
