Portraits at the Pub 18: Ian
Portraits at the Pub 18: Ian
Ian, Portraits At The Pub, Caran D’ache Neocolor 2 and wash, A4 Acrylic Paper.
This week’s Portraits at the Pub was a convivial affair, and I got some good work done with some new paper and some old crayons. Looking back at the work it’s like the life drawing of old, the regular comment that it looks like the work of several different artists (why I used to say I had no style). Remember the…
Portraits at the Pub - Rick
Portraits at the Pub – Rick
Those with long memories might remember Rick – he’s posed for us at Portraits at the Pub before, only a month or so before the first lockdown in Feb 2020 – it was one of the last portrait sessions. And here he is again, this time very different from last time’s welding clothes to a flower in his hair and an amazing wool clothes that I really didn’t do justice to – all purple and red. Loved…
Slick Rick remix artwork and video
Slick Rick remix artwork and video
Not often my fountain pen drawing and watercolour artwork gets featured in a music video and cover for a remix of Slick Rick….think of me as the funky Bob Ross! This work was a collaboration with Rhythm Scholar illustrating his wonderful mashup remix of Children’s Story. This was delving more into my design/illustration past yet working more in a loose funky 70’s illustration mood but it was a…
Mirkwood: Richmond Park’s Spooky Forest
Mirkwood: Richmond Park’s Spooky Forest
The Dead Tree Series isn’t dead…it’s been only sleeping then over the Spring and Summer it reawakened when I found the spooky woods in Richmond Park. I thought I’d post these before Halloween (don’t worry it wont be a 16,000 word tome like the first Jurassic Jaunt..ouch!)! These gnarled twisty old trees are sandwiched between the eastern side of Isabella Plantation and the Coronation…
Portraits At The Pub 14 - Joe
Portraits At The Pub 14 – Joe
The second of the restarted Portraits At The Pub at The Lamb, and this time it was the golden locks of Joe we were drawing. I took Martin’s usual spot since he and several of the usuals were away, and didn’t notice that I got profiles all night! I found it hard to get into this one – the classic ‘resemblance’ hole was hard to work my way out, even when I switched mediums. I just couldn’t get him…
Jurassic Jaunt 6: Corfe Castle - Escape from the Model Village
Jurassic Jaunt 6: Corfe Castle – Escape from the Model Village
Previously to Corfe Castle – Corfe Castle!
The next day, prepared with the knowledge that Thy Hot Food Shall Be Eaten Between Thine Hours of 12-3 and that things are rather strict regarding food times, I went looking for breakfast (I’m as bad as Frodo talking about breakfasts!) I noticed the massive queue for the Bakery – very good, I had bought a few gluten free biscuits there the day before. I…
Did a sketch with colored pencil on Fabriano paper.
