RSA open

Hey folks sorry for the lack of posts, I haven't had internet access at home for a while. I have loads of new stuff to show you guys as soon as I photograph it all. In the meantime I had a piece selected for the Royal Scottish Acacademy's open show, so if you are in Edinburgh in the next month please head along and check it out.

In the meantime please have a look at my instagram, I tend to post most sketches, works in progress etc on there. So you can get a sneak peek before it makes it onto this blog.

Pulling strings

I'm a bit late posting this piece. I finished it a couple of weeks ago but I had to rush it down to an exhibition as soon as it was finished and am yet to go back and take some decent photographs. In the meantime here are some crappy phone pics. It's titled pulling strings......

Watching, waiting for a king to rise

Here is a painting I finished the other week but have yet to get around to posting, until now. I had a lot of fun with this piece and it took a while to finish but I am pretty happy with it......

Sketch the rhyme

If you are in or around Edinburgh this Saturday night do yourself a favour and come along to studio 24 for a night of bangin tunes and the spectacle that is sketch the rhyme. If you have never witnessed str then you are in for a treat, imagine a live drawing quiz show with free styling mc's rapping what we are drawing. Its hard to explain so just come along. I promise you will not regret it. Follow the link for more info.

Canongate future 40 bash

On Thursday the Too Much Fun Club was nominated as one of the future 40 and so we were invited to create a live piece at the event. Here's a few pics from the night....

Tattoo doodles

I sadly managed to lose a sketchbook after the garden party at Kelburn, I was pretty gutted about this as it had a lot of tattoo inspired drawings in it that I quite liked. Well I just remembered I scanned a few pages prior to losing it, so here's a Game of Thrones inspired piece I never quite got to finish......

 and a quick skull doodle lost to the sands of time.....
