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

Lost the likeness with this one a bit..it's all gone a bit Richard III (yes, I know it's rhyming slang).

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...

Freddie Mercury - Water colour

                                                    Freddie Mercury - Water colour

                       This has that slightly pained expression that Freddie had when giving each song his 'all'.

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).

Live Aid -'Intensity' Freddie Mercury

                                            Probably 80% done at this point after 3 hours...

Heisenberg again!

                                                                 Heisenberg again!
Can't stop painting this guy, Walter White, Bryan Cranston, Heisenberg...the greatest fictionalised character of our generation played by its greatest actor?

Finally gave this custom T-shirt to Arejay, after the amazing Gig at the O2 Brum' on (Monday 7th March 2014). He was his usual courteous and considerate self, having time for everyone - as do the entire band! Here's to you sir!

Freddie - Radio gaga

I did this in December but I didn't like it, from 'gaga' video obviously, the eyes look wonky.

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'.

70's freddie again..

70's freddie again.. If you want to add my images to your blog at least have the decency to ask, DON'T crop my name off, and respond to email. Now I have to do this...

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"

yadda,yadda

cara delevingne

Cara Delevingne - Decided to use pencil for a change...she pulls such great faces anyway..find the right reference and you're halfway there.

80's freddie -Enhanced...

                                  I Enhanced the colours a bit, they aren't this bright in reality.

Freddie Mercury water colour- Cerulean blue background

Freddie water colour - Cerulean blue background, I like the background colour as it's fresh and relaxing in tone.
