Clean up!


205. keeping my mind in order.
Digital
10.5cm x 10.3cm

I think a lot of my thoughts and ideas are a little sarcastic, jaded and lack a bit of optimism, I think it's time I sorted my brain out.

Artists don't do the greatest hits of the visual art world.


200. Artist don't really do cover versions of other artists work.
Digital
10.5cm x 10.3cm

It's odd, musicians get asked all the time to play other people's songs, sometimes in the style of those other people. but no one has ever asked me to do someone else's painting. I never get "hey, I love that Damien Hurst fella's spot paintings, whack one of those out in your next show, they're great!"

growing and changing.



195. I've never noticed myself change.
Digital
10.5cm x 10.3cm

perhaps it's something other people see, but we don't see it ourselves. does it happen all at once or is it something that happen gradually like growing a plant? I don't know.

Cheesiest Image I've ever done (so far).

Digital
10.5cm x 10.3cm

I normally try and avoid cheesy images, I felt yesterdays was a bit on the cheesy side, so I though, I'll make today's deliberately cheesy, managed to resist putting a unicorn in there though.

No news is...


181.the illusion of good news.
Digital
10.5cm x 10.3cm

when you work freelance, there is only so much promotion that you can do. eventually you have to just wait. this is the part of the job I hate. I find myself trying to will the phone to ring or make an email arrive, in this context, no news is not good news.
