I did this in December 2013 - I wasn't really happy with it, I didn't think I got the likeness very well.

80's Freddie Mercury

80's Freddie Mercury - This one's turned out a bit bland. It's a bit too close to the original photograph, I like to add something but I didn't do here...

Graphic facilitation/whiteboard animations

Graphic facilitation/whiteboard animations

There has been a recent trend for 'Whiteboard animations' and 'Graphic facilitation'. I like the style of working and have an interest in working in this format. Here's my own personal take on the medium. This is my 'CV' come diagrammatic breakdown of the creative process, as occurs when working for a client(s).

My workspace is a mess, I know

My workspace is a mess, I know:

(Yes, I know I'm a messy bastard, and yes that is a 'spider-man' mouse matt)

Someone I met at an art event the other day said, "Ooh I bet you have a lovely studio to produce such beautiful work!". I had to laugh, I airbrush in the garage and I water colour where my PC is because I love the big monitor so I can zoom in to pixel level.I love to do side by side comparisons.

I don't have a 'studio' as such, funny how people make assumptions. I always love the way water colourists can set up anywhere and everywhere is their 'studio'.

Sophie Tweed-Simmons - water colour

Sophie Tweed-Simmons

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed's lovely daughter. With her mum's playboy model looks and Dad's er...charisma. Sophie favours ear muffs here which she probably claims are to keep out the NYC cold, but we all know it's to filter out her Dad's constant 'Kiss hard sell!' "Yadda, yadda,yadda,Hello kitty, yadda, yadda, KISS cruise, yadda,yadda etc"
