Sun And Moon

Sun And Moon
Papercutting
16.5 x 11.75"
     I finally got round to doing a multi layered papercut with this one. So as well as having the white paper and black background I added silver and gold to the various details. For my next one I will try to add a lot more colours now I know I can make it work.

Weeping Angel Cosplay

Weeping Angel Cosplay
Wax On Watercolour Paper
18.3 x 11"
     A weeping angel cosplayer from the Dr Who TV series. I’ve never been able to get into Dr Who but I appreciate a well designed enemy and since any statue could potentially be a weeping angel that makes them pretty effective monsters.
     I tried to capture the grey colour of the outfit without making the piece too monotone so I took some liberties with this one but its the end image that’s important and I’m happy with the outcome

Assessing The Problem

Assessing The Problem
Acrylic On Canvas Board
16 x 20"
     This is the first of another series I am working on about restoring a car. Here is my brother sat on the bonnet of my car after struggling to get his to start up. He’s restoring a ford Capri but its not going as smoothly as he’d hoped. I like the irony of it all because he thinks my cars a piece of junk but at least it works.
     I really struggled to photograph this one for some reason and the colours are still off so I might upload a better version later. Well that’s just another difficulty we traditional artists face.

Furry Cosplay

Furry Cosplay
Acrylic And Gesso On Paper
16.2 x 11.5
     Admittedly I know nothing about the furry community. In fact my only experience of it is from a CSI episode I saw many years ago, which probably didn't present an accurate view of the community at all. But its the costume I'm interested in here. another one of my graphite and gesso pieces that seemed to work out well enough.
