Roger, asleep on a scanner box, would not wake up to have a look but I liked drawing 183 by Mr Jack Olson

Shrewsbury hospital Audiology department needed two revised instructions on their poster and asked me if I was able to do this. I was really happy to oblige and two men with more hair and a lady in a flowery T-shirt were added in to the bottom row.

Creative Boom

I was asked by Creative Boom Shrewsbury to create the banner for the launch of this new site which is a hub of the national Creative Boom website. Banners change monthly – a great opportunity for artists to meet other artists and creatives, to collaborate, contribute and get their work seen.

Creative Boom Shrewsbury is a regional online magazine about the creative industries in Shropshire and covers everything from fashion, film and photography to art, design, animation and marketing.

The monsters were so loved that they were then used as characters on the Creative Boom, Shrewsbury business cards – hooray for creative monsters!

For the second banner Shropshire creators were asked to contribute their own creative monsters to be put together in a banner, to read the story of how I made this banner click here

Lakes

In late 2009 I was inspired by the photographs of Helmut Arthur he showed images of Lake Geneva at Pully. Once I started painting these images they were completely stuck in my head and it became a bit obsessive. All are acrylic paint on cotton canvas some are textured with gesso. They are either 300mm x 250mm and others are small A6 sized. There are many more than are shown here.

Shropshire Jelly

An opportunity to draw people as they work – and why not? So I went along to pencil-spy at Shropshire Jelly, a casual monthly co-working event, where homeworkers, freelancers, small business owners and office based people who want a change of environment once in a while can get together with their laptops once a month to have a change from their usual workplace, meet some new people and work together in a social environment. Shropshire jelly is kindly hosted by Enterprise HQ, Coalport. If you would like me to come and draw at your event please drop me and email or give me a call.

Unreachable

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:21:07 +0000

In the Distance Yet Unreachable, Acrylic and gesso on Cotton Canvas, 300mm x 220mm. Sold to private collectors.

The unreachable series is based upon the text below

Unreachable, the distance you are

Seems so far away but so near

Time is sometimes not the barrier

Neither distance

Deeds done, advantage taken

Wounds slash deep

Unreachable the distance you are

So near, your light obscured

Your face blank, smiles unreal

Eyes show nothing

When will you mean words

When will it heal?

Unreachable the distance you are

Closer than a tender touch

Resistant and closed hard fast

Pride projects a barrier

Emotions never flow

How will we repair?
