Mrs Claus

Just before christmas I saw an article about Miguel Endara and how he created a photo realistic image of a homeless man using the stippling technique. The stippling technique is creating an image made entirely from dots. I had seen some of Miguel's other stippling work in the past and always wanted to try it. After seeing his latest piece I decided to give it a try.

I knew that it was going to take a long time to do so I had to choose something that I didn't mind looking at for a long time. I chose my beautiful girlfriend Ruth d'Andilly-Clune.

Ruth wearing a loverly santa hat, to show it was around christmas.


After taking the photograph of which I was going to work from I started the template of my drawing.

I started out with a pencil line template, I then started stippling Ruth.

The finished piece my Mrs Claus

Here's a few beauty shots of the piece taken by Ruth d'Andilly-Clune

And here's the piece next to the photograph...

Another Slow Day at the Office.

Another slow day at the primary school, saw me with too much free time on my hands. I decided to put pen to paper and draw something.

The Last project I did at University

So earlier on today I posted some photos of my sketchbook of a few drawings that I have done over the past month, what follows is what rekindled my passion for drawing:

This was a project in which a 'Team' had to choose a song and illustrate the message or how you felt about the song, we decided to illustrate the meaning behind 'The Zutons - Secrets' and draw the secrets of some of the most famous musicians, did Tupac actually die? did paul McCartney die in 1966 and get replaced? and did Mick Jagger have a relationship with David Bowie.

My contribution was drawing the heads and adding the shading to the bodies.

Album of the week

So this week I've been battling with the idea of creating installation pieces of graphic design relating to a album of my choice... The research has been so easy and quite fun, listening to albums I think will produce some great work...

So on repeat in my iTunes library is this masterpiece...

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
