PREPARATION AND TOOLS OF THE TRADE

As im currently working on a commission, i decided to show how i prepare for a painting. From The Tools i use to the the actual start of the piece...

THE CLONES - ANNUAL EPIC DRAW-A-THON

So i came up with this idea for a comic book called The Clones and every year would make up a massive detailed drawing for it, The top piece is the last one i did, all are drawn with pencil, ink and marker pen and each one took about 12-13 hours to do.

MY FAVOURITE FILM GENRES

Anyone who knows me, knows about my passion for film. In honour of my first love i decided to make a panel painting with each panel representing a certain genre. This is purely black and white on a large canvas and took a rather long time to complete.

DEATH & REBIRTH - THE EPIC BATTLE OF ME VS CANVAS

This painting sat for over a year with only the bottom done and i just lost the feel for it. While it sat gathering dust I was struggling to come up with an idea for a new piece and looked over at it and thought, i really need to finish that painting, and in September this year, i finally finished it.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND - THE DARK VERSION

One thing i love to do is take well known fables, stories or films and put my own dark stamp on them, I was asked by my Father's Partner to do a dark Wizard of Oz Painting, which i unfortunately don't have any pictures of, and i'd wanted to do this painting for such a long time. With Tim Burton's Film version coming out i decided now was the right time, so here i present my dark take on Lewis Carrol's Alice In Wonderland . Pictures after the break....

SUPER HEROINE COMMISSION FOR MY SISTER

This was a fun painting to do, my sister had just moved into a new place and wanted something red to hang on her wall so asked me to do something that contained a female superhero and a cat, apart from having to learn how to draw the female body i also decided to go all out and create something epic, a superhero surveying the destruction of a city, this was great fun to do because i kept adding stuff and the detail became immense.

EVIL FANTASY TREE

This painting just started as nothing and it only took shape and becoming something interesting half way through the process. I really like this one and to be honest i think it's my favourite painting as it's straight from my imagination and i love how everything works especially the detail underneath the tree.

SAMURAI GRAFFITI

I have this bizarre fascination with Samurai's and it's use within Blaxsploitation and this was my first attempt at a detailed Graffiti styled picture. Everything single part of it was painstakingly done with a very fine brush and some rather old poster paints...

MY FIRST EVER PAINTING

ok so this is my first post and for this im posting the first painting i did on canvas, bare in mind this was my first attempt and i was using poster paints. Anyway, i love the Zombie film, Dawn of The Dead (original) so i decided that my first painting should be a homage to that film....
