colour for a change..

well for a current project im doing at the moment im looking at a reenactment group in cardiff. they are called the cardiff castle garrison and portray medieval life in 1370. the images ive done are of a welsh longbowman from flynt dressed in their typical green and white tunics. the other images are of a welsh miner and a tramp for my other projects.

current scribblings

have got a couple of projects on the go at the moment. one entitled "plight" and one entitled "influence". for the first project i thought to look into the homeless and maybe the closing/disasters of the welsh coal industry. i myself having family from caerau in the llynfi valley which was a mining town. so its quite a personal project. the idea i have at the moment just involves some very angular figures which i intend to make into a stop motion. the reason i used bright colours was to make them stand out more due to the fact that the homeless are usually ignored by the public.

dark times bring grim times..

well i haven't been as ordered these few months (well Christmas an all..) but I'm back into the world that is drawing and have many ideas for this new year. the first is a comic that follows the hard life of a man who's trying to forget his past but it always rears its ugly head. the sketches bellow are me trying to sort out what the character looks like and some poses for the action scenes.

a dabble here aand there..

well what can i say. its been a very long time since i put anything up on the old blog but got some recent things to show. theres a narrative which is six images long, the style is based upon Denys Shorts painting "Chapel and tip" which is on show in the Cardiff museum. the second piece is based on a story from Oliver Sacks book "the man who mistook his wife for a hat". i was tasked to choose one of the storys and create a drawing based upon it, featuring key words and assciated imagry.

theres panic on the streets of london..

these are just a few more illustrations Ive been working on from the previous post

folklore but not as we know it..

currently Ive been putting my folklore creatures into a modern setting. i thought my work needed a change and so Ive brought the pesky little creatures kicking and screaming into the modern world. the following are just characters with different jobs etc but i am currently working on more political and important messages with these illustrations enjoy :)

rambles here and there pt 2

some more photos from rambles around Monmouthshire. these were taken on top of gray hill. its a nice little walk either a 15 minute steep walk or a half hour stroll through the woods. at the time i took the quicker rout but i would recommend going up the wooded way.

just a few things really..

here are a couple of pictures I'm using for references for an up coming project, should be good :)
