The White Rose

NEW PAINTING!! - "The White Rose"

Last weekend was the opening of Light Grey Art Lab ‪Botanica show in Minneapolis. I'm so happy to reveal my piece for the show. It was inspired by a poem of the same name by John Boyle O'Reilly.

I was honoured to be asked to be a part of this show and just wish I could have been at the opening. Check out the Light Grey Art Lab website to see the work of 125 fabulous artists and the opportunity to buy both original pieces and prints.

It was a pleasure working with this gallery and I hope to have the opportunity to work together again in future.

Prints of this and all the other artists work are available here

NEW PAINTING: "The Guard"

NEW PAINTING: "The Guard"

My excitement for the new season of Game of Thrones is reaching fever pitch and this piece may or may not be inspired by that! The Guard is a leader of men and a protector of his clan's castle.

Thanks to all of you who continue to support my work! Every single like and share is always appreciated!

"101010"

New painting: “101010”

Managed to sneak this in before the deadline for Month of Love's "Fantasy" challenge.

Ever since watching “Ex Machina”, I have been mildly obsessed with the film. I really wonder where the future will take us and what our relationships with robots will become. Somehow I feel that the future we saw in “Ex Machina” isn’t too far away. smile emoticon

I also wanted to say thanks you to Kristina for organising the Month of Love. I have really enjoyed taking part this year and it has really pushed me to do more personal work. Congratulations to everyone who has taken part. The inspiration I have gleaned through looking at everyone’s work has been tremendous!

New Painting: "Jealousy"

“Jealousy”

For the 2016 Month of Love challenge, “Weapons”.

……

“If I can’t have you then nobody can
The last man to hold your hand
And walk with you know, to your place of death
Where the roses are dead here and there’s nothing left.”

….

(an excerpt from a poem by Prince…)

Saltire/John Ferguson

I was honoured to be commissioned by the guys at Diamondsteel Comics to paint their writer and creator John Ferguson with Saltire the Scottish superhero.
This was such a great commission to work on both in terms of subject matter and client. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
If you haven't picked up a copy of their graphic novel, you must!

Dana White

Last weekend, the UFC came to my home city of Glasgow. Put me right in the mood to paint the main man Dana White. Would love to work with the UFC one day, but for now, this is just for fun!

Dougal Mackenzie from Outlander portrait

I'm a huge fan of the Outlander tv show. It inspired me to go on a tour of the Scottish highlands earlier in the year. Here is a painting I did of Dougal Mackenzie from the show!

I also made a time-lapse video showing my process HERE

Frank Underwood - Where Did It All Go Wrong?

My entry for the #NetflixDownUnder contest ran by Draw With Jazza over on youtube.
The idea was to create an illustration based on an original Netflix character, with an Australian twist!

So I imagined Frank Underwood's (Kevin Spacey) career had taken a nosedive and he was living in Australia, eating Vegemite out the jar.

This was my entry and a little .gif showing my process.

Sherlock - The Reichenbach Fall

Ever since watching the last episode of the first season of Sherlock, I wanted to paint him. It was one of the best episodes of television I have seen in a long time. This is my little mini tribute to that show..
