Mural

Last week was full of glorious sunshine so it only makes sense that we were hidden away in an underground club painting, not that I am complaining I loved it. Lots of fun painting so big with huge pens and spray paint and working with all the Too Much Fun Club guys was great and I look forward to working with them again.
Anyway without further ado here's my piece, its about 10 ft x 4ft.

Hope you guys like it and if you are in the Edinburgh area please go and check it out, it's in the Teviot Underground nightclub in Bristo square.

The French Bulldog and the owls

So I had great intentions following the end of term that I would try to keep updating my blog more regularly, but alas life has other plans. I have been busy this week painting a mural in the Teviot Underground (an Edinburgh nightclub) which has been a lot of fun, pics to come once I'm finished.
In the meantime here is a piece I finished last week. I came across a test print for Key to the heart that I had screen printed onto a piece of board (unsuccesfully) and thought that I would work back into it to create something new which turned out to be muchos fun and I'm pretty happy with the result...........

Photographing this piece became quite tricky as my French Bulldog Gus is a photo whore and kept wanting to be in  the shot.......

Bluetits and candy canes

I painted this wee birdy the other day whilst holed up indoors hiding from the horrible Scottish spring weather, blue skies with hail storms a Scottish speciality, not happy with seasonal weather here in Scotland we get four seasons of weather everyday we are just that lucky.
Anyway here's the painting, it is 50cm x 50cm, produced in spray paint and acrylic hope you enjoy...

I created this piece for a 50 x 50 exhibition I'm in  next month, but Im not sure if I will include it yet as I have other 50 x 50 boards made up to play with before then.  So I think I might put this piece up for sale online and then at the Perth Art Fair next month if I dont sell it in the mean time.

Screen prints for sale

I made these prints weeks ago but the last month has been hectic to say the least so it has taken until now to get round to posting them. Screenprinting and me have a love hate relationship, when its all going well and you are making nice clean prints it's one of the most satisfying processes of making work, but when it starts going wrong its so frustrating to have to stop and figure out why. But its always worth all the cast offs when you get a succesful print, I love it and plan on incorporating more screenprinting into my paintings soon.
