Some pieces from the last 3 years.

Here i am showing some pictures of some of my old sketchbook work and i will say a little about what themes they came from and how i created them.

I created these mood boards in my sketchbook for a project involving the sea. i really enjoyed making these as they look very busy and have a  certain colour scheme to them. i used a diverse range of materials in this as thing you find washed up on the beach or in the sea it's self. i find that they look really interesting with all the different combinations in them.

Here i was given the task to create a sculpture in 5 hours. although this sounded challenging i had an idea strait away, the theme i chose looks as if it is another sea but it wasnt i chose the theme to be natural forms. for this i used 3 manequins and chicken wire and other various materials. i flound making this was alot of fun as i got to use a diverse range of techniques and media's.

the final piece looked great but here i am showing the steps of creating it. in some places it was a bit tricky to create but eventually it all came together and is now being shown at excelsior academy in scotswood.


As part of a portraiture project i decided to try doing cubism. i used oil pastels to recreate my own version of a cubist painting of george braque.

i found this a complicated yet interesting piece and i really enjoyed the techniques i have learned to use during the process of using oil pastels.

also in the portraiture project i looked at illustration portraits and i also combined culture with this and some of the pieces that came out were superb and i found that some of the better pieces were created by accident but worked well. i looked at david downton for illustration portraits as i find his work looks delicate yet sexy.

these pieces were created in a collage like technique which i think makes them look visually stimulating. the pieces are good to look at as they make your braing think of a rabge of questions and possibilities about them.

I created this piece some years ago and it took me around 6 weeks from start to finish and the thing i love most about this piece is the different textures and materials used on it as well as the diverse range of colours. i used many different techniques on this piece to make it look the way it does now and this is one of my favourite personal pieces. this piece is was the first proffessional piece i created and since creating this piece i have gone on to create many more successful pieces. for me this piece was the first great achievement in my artist life, as a student and an artist.
