Dombey & Son

A piece based on a scene from Red Dog's stage adaptation of Charles Dickens' Dombey and Son. Watercolour with pen over the top.

Life Drawing

Charcoal on paper.

Zombie Head

Just another doodle. It's been a while but I think this was grouped with the 'Future Jobs' post below.

Collage

Just a small experiment I did for Fine Art. I believe that's Alex Ferguson's face rising out of the water.

Koschei the Deathless

My interpretation of the Slavic folktale 'Koschei the Deathless'. The tale involves an evil wizard named Koschei who has made himself immortal by hiding his soul in a needle.

The needle is then hidden in an egg, which is hidden in a duck, which is hidden in a hare, which is hidden in a chest, which is buried under an oak tree on an island in the middle of the ocean, and the only way to kill Koschei is to break the needle against his forehead.

In other versions of the story Koschei is a snake who hid his soul in a pebble. For my piece I sort of combined the two versions together, whilst changing some minor things.

This was a watercolour, with pen over the top.

Folk Museum Drawings

A collection of observational drawings I drew from photographs on display at the Gloucester Folk Museum, which I blended together with a waterpen.

Mutants of the West

A piece I did showing some post-apocalyptic world inhabited by mutants, with  a western feel to it.

I believe this was my first attempt at using pen over the top of watercolours.

Future Jobs

Quite an old piece. Just an odd little doodle I did, trying to make boring jobs interesting by imagining them in the future. In this case a garbageman and a postwoman.
