I have just used my lunchtime to scan in some piccies from my sketchbook. Here you go:

paints!

Hey chaps,
I have done my first few paints in the new studio. I went for gesso primed wooden blocks for these 3. The two little dogs are a birthday present for a friend. The crow is done from a photo i took in Japan.
Had a blast with them and feel like i moved forward an inch or two with the crow! All 3 images are very small paintings. The white dog is 1bout 4" squared and the black one a touch larger. The crow is about 8x6".
Got a week off work this week so hoping to get some canvases painted... loving the oils again!

Another of my Tee Shirt designs is on sale now at SPUNKY:

stuff & Dr Sketchy Burlesque Life Drawing Event

I took some photos of some traditional media bits and bobs i have been doing lately. My lovely wife and I are nearly done renovating our studio now and I am looking forward to getting the paints out again soon!




Yesterday me and a few of my fine fellows went to the first Dr Sketchy event in nottingham. It was ace and i have taken a few photos of some of the drawing i made. They are all 5 - 10 mins. Dr Sketchy is an awesome combination of life drawing drinking and burlesque acts. I cannot recomend it enough. We all had an absolute blast and did some good fast high pressure drawing!

Hello everyone, sorry it has been a long time, as you have no doubt all heard FRD has gone in to administration. Boo! This has obviously taken our minds of blogs and whatnot.

I have had some very good news this week though and Hooba, the red panda toy design i did a while back, has been put on Patchtogether's On Demand service. He will be a limited edition of 100 12" plush toy. I am very excited indeed. He is only $25 so order one now. Once my toy career is more established you might well have yourself a tidy little investment...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO BUY HOOBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
