Bill 2, some stuff

Another painting of William Shakespeare, for my mum's birthday:


Some dumb stuff from my sketchbooks: 






And some old stuff that I thought was strangely poignant:

new birds!

Finished up a new set of these little paintings of common garden and city birds. Each is on a 5"x5" shallow canvas. Acrylic paint, ink drawings, ink stamped lettering and dry transfer lettering on a base of light collage.

Each of these, along with each of the first batch that I showed off last time, are available in this new section of my Etsy for only £10 each plus shipping. Great gift items. :)

new painting series, some other stuff

A few new paintings just finished.

All acrylic paint and ink on various surfaces.

1.5"x2.5" piece of cardboard I found and decided to paint a little victorian on. Might leave this somewhere as a Free Art Friday giveaway.

4"x6" pieces of board. Another victorian/regular modern handsome mustache dude, and some red wine.


 5"x5" canvases with light paper collage background. A couple of cute one-off whatevers and a new series I'll probably keep going with featuring birds! Great gift items for bird-lovers. Each one is also adorned with the common name of the bird in stamped letters and the latin name in dry-transfer letters.

recent commissions

Some recent commissions I've completed:

Some happy family portraits:

Testcard parody for a big TV fan, with appropriate elements of collage:

A video game character being super pumped about an ice cream:

The Duke of Wellington had an extremely tiny mouth. Did you know? Bit of collage in the background taken from this book.

New Twitter theme for this guy: Tried a sort of digital painting/collage approach for this one using a bunch of traditional media textures I made and scanned.

Fully customisable commissions for as low as £10

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.
