June – “Embrace”
Read more: June – “Embrace”I’m of the esteemed millennial generation, whose sole purpose it was to put random verbs onto to literally anything we own. Words like “Believe” and “Breathe”. And “Embrace”. So when this word came to mind – which is how it goes these days – my second thought was; “Please no. Anything but this.” Alas. Once…

May – “Mirror”
Read more: May – “Mirror”When I started drawing as a teenager, I had stacks of pretty fashion magazines that I used for reference. If you’re a child of the 80s or 90s you’ll remember that none of those photographs had anything to do with actual human looks or features. I soon switched to using more accurate photos; documentary style…

April – “Light”
Read more: April – “Light”If you live in the northern hemisphere, you’ll notice the days getting longer. The light getter stronger, creating a different kind of shadow on everything it illuminates. Light – both its presence and absence – is a fascinating thing. I learned to see the different kinds of light and shadow when I started reading photography…

March – “Touch”
Read more: March – “Touch”Last month’s theme made me very aware of how much I naturally gravitate towards a dream-like state of mind. Being aware of that, inevitably makes you aware of what is being ignored; the real world. 🙂 As always, a balance is needed in order to maintain ones mental health. What I’ve found is that I…

February – “Dreams”
Read more: February – “Dreams”I dreamt that I forgot to come up with a theme and in my panic posted something so totally out of it like “pigeons”. Then I woke up and figured yeah, dreams. Why not! There are dreams, and then there are dreams. There are the dreams where we are about to become astronauts while studying…

Painted sketches
Read more: Painted sketchesIn my latest YouTube video I did some painting, based off some sketches I did during a live figure drawing session. Yes, that’s a lot of words to basically say; I painted some stuff. Next to painting I also like talking to my microphone, so if you need some artistic company during your own creative…

January – “Flow”
Read more: January – “Flow”I woke up this morning and there was snow outside. For someone who doesn’t like cold, I have a weird love for white fluffy ice. I don’t know why but it felt like the start of the day I really needed today. Image in the header is by Matt Hardy Flow, right? I chose it…

I’m tired and it’s affecting my art routine
Read more: I’m tired and it’s affecting my art routineAs much as I try to stay away from posting too much negativity on my blog or social media channels, I can’t really go any other way right now. I know that many of you are shocked, angry, sad, all of the above, by the shit that is the world right now. Some of us…

February
Read more: FebruaryFebruary was a wet, windy and somewhat practical month for me. I didn’t do a lot of art, but I spend a lot of time re-organising my studio, getting my paperwork in order and just general practical stuff that comes with running a business. It’s also time to get back into lesson recording mode again! …

January, a clean palette
Read more: January, a clean paletteAfter working on last year’s exhibition, my head was exploding with ideas, visuals that I needed to get out and on paper. Things that had to be done. Pronto! But at the same time I realised that my current workflow needs revision and change. I was a little high I think, on a successful event…
