Another find in the archives

I actually can't remember when I painted this. Maybe around 1999 so it is a bit of an oldie. . I'm a bit notorious for starting my personal projects and then hiffing them aside (...until such time as they wish to co-operate!). I painted it for my parents and it still occupies a wall in their house. It is acrylic on canvas board with loads of texture added in. I have got another old sailing ship painting here at home that I should take a picture of as I don't think I have one of it.

One thing I am pleased to have found is all my music so now I am loaded up in iTunes with many sounds to inspire me. :)

Western Bar Mural

I have been reorganising my photos on my computer and have been finding some oldies. This is a mural that I painted on a Western themed bar in Waiuku, New Zealand. I must have done this in about 2003/2004. I didn't actually think I had any photos of it. Hopefully I will find all sorts of long forgotten goodies as I am going through the old hard drive.

Rough for New Digital Illustration

This is the draft collage for a new digital illustration like the one I did called La Calavera Catrina. When I get a bit of time I will start, I just have a few resumes to finish up for some clients. Doing this will hopefully see me well and truly practised with using my drawing tablet, it shall be my training.

I haven't found suitable arms that are quirky enough to go with the image though so at the moment I will say she is standing with her arms behind her back lol! It will be a rather time consuming project to paint all the elements separately in Photoshop but it should be fun anyway and I will learn a lot so thats good. I haven't thought of a title yet either but that will come to me as I am working on it. Coffee break over!
