Part of design for Deebs's t-shirt (will update with photos of t-shirt soon), for which I took the logo for the Paper Street Soap Company (in film "Fight Club") and distorted it a bit using grids:
First version:
Painting - Stromness Harbour from the Pier Arts Centre
Finally finished this painting for Hanna and Iain's housewarming, after layers of repainting. Hoping the primer has held up. Now to get to the framers!
LC Illustrations
This year I was involved in helping to illustrate the brilliant Library Cat: The Observations of a Thinking cat by Alex Howard. http://blackandwhitepublishing.com/shop/library-cat.html
This has led to potential involvement in other projects which I am very excited about. I thought I'd put up a few illustrative drafts and ideas from the past year, none of these sketches are actually in the book (to see the finished ones feel free to grab yourself a copy!)

Drawing project
I've been feeling out of practice lately so I decided to draw something every day, or work on my piece for my sister and her family. The first portrait I did was utter poop, but I didn't spend long on it and the first few are always going to be frustrating. Anyway, here are a few of the drawings I did, starting with the earliest at the top. I think this has helped me to regain some confidence, particularly in experimenting with materials which I used to love doing.
And here's how Hanna and Iain's painting is developing so far (still got a ways to go yet):
Die Hard Deebs
A couple of quick sketches of Deebs for his blog, based on photos of him posing as John Mclean from Die Hard. See if you can tell which parts are from John Mclean photos...
"Die Hard Deebs"
Self-Portrait
I struggled with this one and had to restart a few times - I'm happy with it now but would like to start another soon. As it ended up being a mix of charcoal and white paint, it has an odd metallic quality to it.
Emma BR portrait
Portrait for my pal Emma Bell Ryott who wanted a piece of artwork for her website - she writes stuff! You can catch her on facebook at www.facebook.com/writeremmabell
Another Painting in Progess continued
Still lacking something but I feel it's nearly there. The next step is going to be getting a suggestion of the ground to help get the perspective and to break up the negative space at the bottom right hand side.
