The first ‘creature crowd’ canvas I’ve done for a while.
Quite a lot of new characters and ideas came through in this one. I try not to have too much involvement in the way these turn out, I never sketch them first, I just start drawing in the bottom left corner and work across in rows, seeing what and who turns up. If something happens like my studio mate comes in saying she’s lost her keys, I might draw a padlock, if a homeless man walks past knocking back White Lightning then I may draw a shouting bottle, and if a good song comes on in my headphones then someone might end up with a guitar for a nose. If I smudge the ink then that’s where the next character starts from, if two lines look like they want to join up then that’s the shape the next person has to be. I’ve painted this style piece many many times now but I like the fact that no two will ever be the same, even if I wanted to there’s no way I could copy this exactly.

Earlier in the year I painted one of my largest pieces to date, a series of antique wooden church organ pipes measuring 275cm tall. In a few weeks they are being auctioned at Summers Place Gardens, in association with Sotheby’s, with an estimate of £2000 - £3000. Here’s a link to it - http://www.summersplaceauctions.com/product.php?category_id=61&subcategory_id&product_id=15522

The paintings are constructed from images of buildings and street furniture I’ve photographed, stacked together at interesting angles and naive perspectives to create these imaginary cityscapes.

I’ve never been fishing before, so I’m not sure how many fishing magazines have a ‘featured artist’ section… But This is Fly Magazine does and this month it’s me.

If fish aren’t your thing then I’m on pages 82 - 89.
