Blog

I got completely absorbed in making this Blog nearly twenty years ago. It was full of paintings, writing, charcoal drawings and small animations. Then life took over. Finding it again and beginning it again has made me feel unexpectedly young and excited.

Giant fish

This is a doodle of a joke my mate Dave told me years ago. I won't write it all but it ends with the bloke wrestling the fish into the fish and chip shop and asking for a fish cake. The man behind the counter asks why he wants a fishcake when he already had a

436

I sketched this guy while I was on the 436 bendy bus that goes past The Clayton Arms. It goes all the way from Lewisham to Paddington. The guy I sketched held his head high even when he realised I was drawing him. He was well turned out with a flat cap and a d

Eye Spy

Tooth Tattoo

Oil on canvas 8″x10″. I was wondering what sort of things people would tattoo on their teeth if it was possible. I would have "I want a chocolate cookie NOW" written on mine. Or maybe I would have "I'm sad" just to confuse people when I am happy and smiling. H

Shower Gel

Oil on canvas 8″x10″ Yeah I didn't really think this one through too much as I thought it might spoil my fun. You know how they say your body is 70% water(is it more ?) and the water in your body completely replaces itself after 6 weeks? Well when I painted th

Belly Header

Oil on canvas 8″ x 10″. <!--When I was a kid if you had tatoo's on your arm it meant on thing and one thing only. It mean that there was a fair to reasonable chance that you are quite hard and its probably best not to mess with you as you spend a lot of time s

Wind Tunnel

Hylonme the Dinner Lady

Oil on canvas 8″x10″. I like the title 'dinner lady' because it implies that she is a lady and that she has an undefined role in the ritual we call dinner. She could be assisting during dinner, eating dinner or even be eaten for dinner. I found a really good l

The flying horse man.

Oil on canvas 8″x10″. We all have a carbon foot print, but this man has a carbon hoof mark aswell. I was quite pleased with the way I got the reflected light on the bottom side of the aeroplane by removing paint and exposing the blank primed canvas.
