Russian doll










On friday I got a strange request, to paint anything of my choosing on a russian doll.
The doll itself was just plain wood and it can pop open so that the other smaller dolls can fit inside, well this was going to be a interesting surface to paint on, not only is it small but the entire surface is curved, but I figured hey if the russians can do it then so can I.
So I basically using a pencil drew my design on the wooden surface and then set about painting it using Winsor and Newton Acrylic paint, really great paint to work with, although it is acrylics so they dry fast.
So here are the results of my attempt on a russian doll……enjoy
PS. I also included a picture of what they normal russian dolls look like.

Lunchtime madness

Crab in ink








Hi all, it has been one busy week, only two weeks left before my stay here in London is over, and I move up to Newcastle to start my new job, yes it is nerve wrecking getting everything sorted from staying there to sending stuff home bla bla bla……but even in times like this the sketchbook still seems to come out and get doodled in. So here is this weeks offerings..enjoy

Square fish


This was an intesresting little discovery, I was sitting at a Starbucks coffee shop, when I spotted this retro 70’s wall paper deco they had on thier walls, I really liked the pattern so I started drawing the pattern in my sketchbook, but as I was drawing the pattern, I suddenly got this idea about square and rectangle fish living in the cube ocean an then there is this one fish a puffer fish that is a circle fish and its almost like a Finding Nemo type situation where the fish felt he could not fit in beacuse he was different.
Well I just started to doodle these fish inspired by this wall decoration.
