Poor picture of him lit up, but you get the picture. I became somewhat attached to him, though, and then shed a tear at his departure/throwing him in the bin.
This was my halloween effort, I thought he was pretty neat.

I've really enjoyed doing this piece. Light oil paint base, topped with indian ink, 'Parker Quink', bleach and white ink; 40x40" on boxed canvas - the first time, infact that I have properly used canvas.

Compressed charcoal pencil (soft) and compressed white pastel pencil (which hasn't come out very well - camera phone, what can I say?) around A2 in size.

5b pencil on paper, around A4 in size. This is a drawing of the face that would accompany the body below, I just wanted to focus in a little. There is meant to be a piece of which these drawings are studies for, however that is not yet available... Procrastination + Creative Block = Oh dear.

stick of charcoal on wallpaper, around A2 in size. Messed up the arm on the right hand side, even though it looks right, it certainly does not, from the picture.

Me, Myself and Mike.

This is a piece done in Acrylic on a piece of wallpaper scrap; it is a self-portrait done using the reflection in a television screen that was on my desk at the time.

Heres an unknown celebrity - I caught him smoking a pipe.

I digress, apologies for the crude interpretation, the mind wanders.

Three Guys (and a girl?) bad joke.

Acrylic done on thick paper usually used on interior walls, it's gloss varnished as most of my pieces are, but this time I got it framed by a Guild certified framer! How special. I like it; it's composed of me in the middle, and my friends Dave and Luke to left and right - we took the pictures in a club (Sankeys Manchester) under a stark beam of light coming from the ceiling, and I felt it could be a good painting.

Old Medditerranean Man

This is a piece I did a fair while ago. Simply, I found the image on the internet, put it into black and white and painted it. I liked the character in his face and his hat. No real explanation of description necessary; it's Acrylic and painted on hardboard which I forgot to mention is also the material the first blog's artwork is created on, and it is varnished with acrylic gloss varnish.

The set of 5 used for my Final Piece Exhibition - 1st year Fine Art at UCLan

I can't remember but I believe the images were in this order,top to bottom going from left to right along the walls. They range from 13" to 10" in width and 12" to 9" in height - the middle one is Oil paint and the others Acrylic, all with specific gloss varnish for the types of media used.

These are not abstract paintings - infact they are expressionist - I have not abstracted in anyway, merely painted from black and white which I tend to like to do and chose whatever colours I felt, and have used large brush strokes catching the main lines and tones seen in the objects painted.

This is a piece on Urban Environments and Urban Degradation, I came to these five after doing 20 or so and choosing these as the best I believed; they are of heaps of rubbish and other discarded objects around the streets of Preston.
