Illustrapedia Santa

Here is a WIP of the latest challenge for the Flickr Group - Illustrapedia - for the December theme 'Santa'.

Hi, I've just found out that I've been listed on the Italian Bologna Book Fair Fiction section for Illustrators, representing Great Britain. I'm very excited.

Take a look here:

Bologna Childrens Book Fair

This is my caricature of 'Caricaturist' and all round amazing artist 'Jason Seiler, I've called it 'Dirty-Seiler".
This is for a art challenge due to coincide with a videocast interview in 'Bobby Chiu's
Shoolism.com website. I've got to wait till tomorrow before I can upload it though.

This is Prismacolor pencils and graphite background with a touch of Photoshop to tidy it up a bit. I think this is the best caricature I've ever done!

Illustrapedia - Sea Life

Here is my submission for the November Art Group on Flickr called Illustrapedia.

I'm also working hard on a Jason Seiler caricature for Chiutv on 'Schoolism.com'

Edinburgh Sketchcrawl

My wife organized a trip away to Edinburgh recently, so I made it into my very own Sketchcrawl.

Art Gallery Success

This week I received the good news that one of my works of art was accepted into the summer exhibition of Suffolk Artists at 

Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in UK.

Here is the piece that I entered, a 20 x 30" print in a nice oak frame.

Let's 'Start' with the 'End'

This is my submission for the online forum 'conceptart.org'.

The theme is 'Super Stylised Amazon Woman Warrior'.

'Start' with the 'End' because the moderator has just announced that June was the final month for this challenge because of cut backs!!!!!

I'll post again soon.
