Scanning an old self portrait I just sold. I quite like it still! (That’s 2001, not 2007.)
I wish that top still fit me, I painted it myself and it says Siouxsie and the Banshees on the back. Once when I wore it me and Lisis were given a bunch of Siouxsie vinyl records for free from some random guy we met at a thrift shop.

The Spectre in the Woods
I think this is the first proper canvas painting I’ve done since I was a teenager. It’s really big!

Just got a tumblr on the advice of Lisis and Naomi. Still trying to get the hang of it!
I will probably mostly show my art, and reblog stuff I like.
Feel free to add or whatever you do on tumblr :P

I always do thumbnail sketches on the backboards of my drawing pads, and as I just used up a pad I scanned the backboard before throwing it in the recycling bin.

Fields of Stone
I read something about a horse that shot fire from its eyes in a book on mythology, and it inspired this. I was also inspired to draw fancy armour after watching Excalibur.
I like how it looks a bit like an 80s metal album cover!
