wednesday illustration

exhibition

back to the studio

hello and happy new year!... so today was my first official day back in the studio! i was quite excited. i tore up some paper for an edition of etchings, i cleaned up, i set out all ready to print and i bought a new work book. it's a lovely hahnemuhle 25x25cm one... big pages for big ideas!

i have made a few illustrations. this one is for insync surveys. if they don't like it, i think it will go into my little book i am making. mon. millimetre is riding the unicycle here.

also some painting ideas and some cook book drawings/patterns for adrian's cook book.

and then at the end of the day...

beach time! we live but 8 doors from the shore. it's a lovely sea change.

old things swimming about

revisiting an older image from two years ago now. this was something i was doing before i left for london. i have been digging up old things and looking at them again.

i've also started to map out my 'cyling the clouds' book.... some sneak peaks coming soon.

marco polo is painted

i have been finishing things for the show. i want to put marco polo in the cabinet. i have painted his face and since made him a hat. he looks dashing, but you will have to come to the show to see him in all his glory!...

travelling along the seas of something

a bit more re working of the book and i think i am almost there. thank goodness for photoshop! such a brilliant and versatile tool. so i think the book is getting closer to the end.

you can see the progression of the right side of this section from my last post to now. it was just too heavy before and especially when it was printed... no good. what do you think of this section now?
