The Joy of Destruction

Thanks to the conceptual input of my better half, I have managed to veer slightly away from the seedy and obvious interpretation of the theme, realising instead a proposition that was first introduced to me during a Year 10 GCSE lesson at Tec...

New Show

Libido Mortido will investigate the contrasting instincts of creation and destruction, (love and loss, passion and pain- by my interpretation)

This is a sketch for a new poster based on 'tart cards'- which I have since discovered exist only in UK and are irrelevant to the wider audience. blast!

Planet Dearth

Not much to inspire the written word- or more a lack of time with which to tease worthwhile phrases from the ether of my mind. There is stuff (out)in there, but its just finding the time to eek them out.

The new exhibition also is a pressure, but coming along nicely. An evening at the gallery-studio last night with the whole family in tow was actually a pretty productive time and the kids enjoyed making nut and bolt toys, tanking around the gallery on skateboards and crashing into valuable artworks with dirty fingerprints... kelly was an inspiration to my painting, helping (as usual) to devise brilliant theme for a series of paintings- but I dont have time to explain it now. Hopefully I can post some visual evidence when the works are complete...

More Blogg...

I am actually live and direct on the british governments very own website...

New images

More Dianography... local urban sketches...

Don't just leave it...

Is it a characteristic of a creative soul to find inspiration in the new, but to wane once the novelty has worn off? It is with me, and thus the Don’t Just Do It project has lain untouched for months… so I have decided to try and revamp a little, starting with some header artwork- not quite a brand, but a handy visual to trot out where necessary…

Just need to find a wordpress skin to accomodate it now…

Project development..

Working on the 6ism project for the Gallery… This means lots of writing and producing content, without much time… Have thoroughly enjoyed playing around with this for the spalsh page, and a flag aswell…



The Republic...

Have got stuck right into some beautiful cuts of the Bodoni font, I think they’re by those geniuses of typographism, P22 but I may be wrong…

Here’s a clip of the splash…




The site is becoming a collaboration of writers and thinkers more than artists, but that is kind of the point… keep an eye on the wiki for updates :)

Visual Accompaniment - Mrs Smith I presume

At last, I finally get around to uploading some very poor quality pics of the latest piece... It's called Diedre Smith, and its oil on canvas. A nod to Lucien, a drop of the velvets and a dollop of carry-on - well that's it feels like to me anyway...




This piece is currently exhibited as part of the Fakir exhibition at island6...
