more lost musicians



More of these musicians! See the first batch here. I think these will go on sale soon. Would anybody be interested in buying prints of these? I have never done prints before but I will look into it if there is any interest!

Lost Musicians






A recent experiment depicting musicians of various genres getting lost in their craft. I was mostly just playing with colour. I think the saxophonist is my favourite.

Lifeline 1


The second of the Lifeline paintings. Same title and premise as before but this one features an old-timey deep sea diver! Wow!

Here are some close-ups. Click em to grow em:





Both of the Lifeline paintings will be in my Etsy shop shortly, after I've finalised some things (such as how the heck I would ship either of these)   

They are both on big 39" x 16" x 1.5" panoramic canvases and they are handsome as all heck. Here they are hangin out together:

Licorice City - new set of paintings

Based on an old doodle I found in my sketchbook I've made this set of 3 paintings that form a panoramic cityscape. It is largely inspired by New York City which I consider my spiritual home and which inspires most of my cityscapes despite my never having been there. As such I have used the American spelling of the word 'liquorice' in the title, which alludes to the colour scheme and doesn't actually mean anything.




These are not for sale just yet because I may make some last-minute adjustments later. I'm not quite satisfied with this yet and I can't exactly discern why.

mega sketch dump

Haven't done one of these in a while. Just a big ol' mess of stuff from my sketchbook (June? ish? 2011 - present) that I haven't shown off anywhere else.

There's a lot here and I didn't want to scan it all so I just took some cheap and nasty photos. If you want a better quality version of anything you see here, shoot me an email or something and I'll be more than happy to oblige.

As always, click almost any image to make it bigger.


 A sexy singer. Part of a series of paintings I was never satisfied with of different fictitious musicians across a variety of different genres. Might pick that up again at some point.

 Boy and Girl from Connections. Still very much in love. This later became a gift for a friend.

An idea for a series of small minimalist paintings that make a panorama when positioned together. I should get around to doing this at some point as well.

 Creepy. This one's probably inspired by this Ted talk.

A bunch of nonsense.

 This guy's pretty pleased with himself, huh.



For some reason food and alcoholic drinks are some of my favourite things to draw. Something inherently funny about them, to me, that I just cannot put my finger on.


Another idea for a series of small paintings. "Stupid," apparently.

Might make a full painting of this one day.



Look at all this crazy junk.


This was made as part of a proposal for a guy looking for an illustrator to help create a body of work around conflict resolution in the workplace. I never heard anything back.



Boop.
