Legs

I've done a few pieces for my new project, campaigning for the de-crimilization of prostitution in England. Bit random, I know. But it's something I feel strongly about!

Anyway, the bruised legs. I don't really want to go into the whole violence aspect, it feels a bit to obvious to me. But it's a starting point...

Frames!!

I'm back in the sticks for a couple of weeks...

However, one good thing about Dorset is the abundance of charity shops. Not only for all the books and clothes I seem to stock up on whenever I come back, but also the amount of cheap frames. I've been toying with the idea of frames for a while now, however in London they always seem short in supply and overly expensive.

Not here!

I was very excited to find one shop hidden away with box upon box of vintage frames for as little as 50p each.
I've tried a couple with two of my Bowie owls. I think they work well. I think the owls need some kind of frame to bring them together.

I went to Hong Kong

It was beautiful.

W.I.P Exhibition

Here's the work I exhibited for the W.I.P exhibition.
Six owls representing the different styles of David Bowie. Can you guess the eras...?...No? Neither can most people! But I had a lot of fun researching and painting them.

The exhibition's on until the 7th June at Nolias Gallery in Southwark.

Self Portrait

For the upcoming W.I.P show (3rd-7th June, Nolias Gallery, come!!!)
Just a simple, to-the-point pencil drawing

I love V&A

These need to be inspiration. For what, I don't know. But they creep me out...

Poor, confused, little owl

Flyer attempts:2 and 3

I tried painting another one, but wasn't happy with the faces or the colours... so I ended up photoshopping my owl. It'll have to do!

Flyer attempt no: 1

A flyer for the upcoming W.I.P exhibition in June
Alex was severly out of proportion so I painted her white...
Time for attempt number 2!

Bowie Owl

An experiment combining David Bowie with an owl. This is what boredom does to me.
I think it looked far better in my imagination...

Final Piece Number 2

My cardboard images together in less a book, more a collection
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible to ensure nothing took away the emphasis from the drawings
15 images mounted on ice-white card bound together by twine (or is it string...? I can never remember what it's called...)

Large Image Number 2 (self-defined)

Roughly A3 size

In two minds whether the smaller images work better than the bigger ones

Collaboration

A collaboration between Alex Hughes and I for Ribbed magazine, the brief was to represent orgasm, sex, sensuality

The red sewn with thread by Alex and the black drawn over the top with ink by moi

Not the best photo... (self-defined)

But here is the finished piece

Progress (self-defined)

I've started on one of two final pieces. This is the first, a bit bigger than A3. It's obviously not finished yet! But here it is so far...
