I heart painting NY



Was back in Glasgow for the past few days getting on with a commission. My client wanted something to go in his new flat and so I came up with a design for a painting of New York and started to crack on with it. The first day of cutting was ok apart from the fact that I felt like crap, having to constantly blow my beak. But anyways, I felt better the next morning and continued with cutting. With this painting I really wanted to push myself with getting the deatil right and this was the first time I have painted buildings and I have to be honest it was really enjoyable. Something different.

A New Toy


I have been wanting to get one of these for a wee while and the other day I had to give in. It's a Lomography Fisheye camera allowing photos to be taken with a 170 degree viewing range. So we shall have to wait n see what can be done with this bad boy. BLAM

For Jen



I did this painting for my girlfriend Jen who has been working her ass off for her exams so I thought I'd give her a wee treat by doing a painting for her n getting it framed. Stuff always looks better when framed.

Spent a lot of time in my studio this weekend painting some new pieces for The Red Door Gallery as they wanted some more stuff on vinyl. So these are the painting i did on some random records which I again found up in my aladdins cave of an attic. in this vast record collection I stumbled across The Lennon Collection which I dunno if i will paint on.

Red Door Gallery Opening



Well it has been a while since I posted any new stuff of the ol' blog. My computer decided to play silly buggers with me and I had to get it sorted so I was without my baby for 2 whole weeks. But its back so let me tell you what the lodown is. I took a wee road trip with DR3W to Edinburgh for the opening of 'Open Works' at The Red Door Gallery. some good work there and some new faces also, you can see my pieces in the bottom corner. Sarah who works there and has been very supportive of my work is having to go back to her home of New Zealand so it was good to see her before she left. so if your through in Edinburgh check out The Red Door Gallery.

I enjoy what I do



Was back home in my studio for the weekend, aswell as being my old mans birthday I had a painting to do for my friend Dill. He gave me a sheet of metal and told me he would like a robot with a speaker so sure enough I got my sketchbook out to come up with some ideas. So above is the final product but it doesn't end there. I got a little carried away because I enjoy what I do so much.



Outside of my studio is my mums wheely bins and sure enough I it them a Klingatron make-over. Thankfully she really liked it and was happy to know that her bins are individual.
I also managed to see two paintings this weekend and shook hands for a commission (stay tuned for the final product) and with my earnings I took my dad out for a pint on his birthday.
