Always loved The Cure so the next piece is of frontman Robert Smith, on 12×9″ box canvas, from this quite basic photo… 24/05/16…10mins… 26/05/16…45mins…
22/05/16: This time last year, thanks to a great initial suggestion by a friend of mine (Tony Donaghey), I was fortunate enough to get one of my Bob Dylan prints signed/customised by Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips) at Liverpool Sound City ’15, which was then auctioned on Ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to Claire… Read more »

It’s going to be hard to try and not be so much of a “perfectionist” but I successfully managed it with my “Pete N Puss” painting last time, and that’s my goal – to capture a great likeness but to also keep the pieces looking less photographic and more “painty”. On a few occasions at… Read more »

I had so much white paint left over in my palette after working on “Ellis’ Bunny” that I decided to start ANOTHER piece, this one from my ‘to do’ list that was initially chosen after the recent national autism month.
