Hullo folks - I've started a facebook page to collect and show my work better. There'll be a ton of sketches and unseen work posted in the next few weeks...

Check it out HERE

I.F. Faded ( A flower for Anna-Mae )

So... this almost never made it online. The original version (And what suits the 'Faded' title better) had a dark browny-red sky - fading light... you know, what I ALWAYS do... anyway, it was clunky and muddy and I chose not to upload it. My daughter (5 going on 15) likes distorting photos in photoshop, and while vandalising pictures from a recent picnic saw this pic and suggested making the sky blue... which worked way better...  so thanks Em x

Madeleine's light

Woo hoo...! Madeleine's Light is finally available at Amazon if anyone feels the urge to buy a copy... let me know what you think if you get your hands on one... oh, and  if you're Stateside and come accross THIS book, I supplied black and white interiors... see below.

I.F. Kernel

Obviously inspired by the movie 'Witness'...

Again, more sketchbook characters. When I first drew THIS, he was originally going to have a wife... and this was to be his lovely betroved. Might put the pre-photoshopped version up on flickr in the morning.

Gravida

My brother has this stunning portrait of my late mother showing at the Paisley Art Institute's Annual exhibition... anyone local please check it out, otherwise, see more of his wonderful drawings and paintings at his blog - http://www.gdfx.blogspot.co.uk

Hitched

My interpretation of marriage...

Worked up another sketch before killing in photoshop. The initial idea was to have a large screw in the lower middle, but it was a clumsy metaphor and somewhat crass. I think she was going to be wearing a veil but it got lost somewhere along the way..
