The Belgian linen that I double primed with oil-prime is a really great surface to paint on, this one's gonna be fun.
I also started the progress video but that'll take a while longer to put online !

something different.
8-bit painting in oils, lots more little squares to colour in

It's a Llama !
not quite finished, a little illustration job that I painted today.
Still needs another layer and a bit of refinement

A little 8-bit figure study / test piece I did today,
it's pretty rough but I wanted to see if the idea would work
let me know in the comments if you think I should do more !

First commission of the year - Council chambers at the City of Belmont
Here's the preliminary sketch, now on to preparing the canvas.
I'll try do a video of the painting process on this one similar to what I did with the last big Rottnest one ( see the "videos" link in the column to the right )

Time to clean the studio now and get stuck into the last few commissions for the year.
Some time soon I'm going to be starting a new body of work, something completely different to my normal stuff, ofcourse it'll all get posted here as things progress
In the meantime I've gone and put some of my Limited Edition Prints up on ebay at auction, to both see how they go and maybe drive some traffic back here.
Worth a shot I suppose
I'm not linking to it here, youve gotta go hunt for them !

'IF NOT FOR THE DAWN'
19th Oct - 4th Nov 2011
All the works for my latest solo show at emerge ART SPACE, 676A Beaufort St, Mt Lawley, are now in the gallery and up on their website :
emerge ART SPACE
the show opens on wednesday the 19th of october at 6:00, and as always work is available for preview and sale prior to the opening
They look amazing now that I've varnished them all and they're somewhere other than in my studio, it's always fun to see how different they look once they're in a proper gallery environment.
There's 18 works in total, carrying on from last years subject matter of abandoned carparks and alleyways, with some new vague misty nightscapes and recognizable Mt Lawley views
The show runs till Friday the 4th of November

Today I pretty much finished the last of the works for the solo show at emerge ART SPACE in Mount Lawley, that's coming up on the 19th of October - now I need to spend a week painting edges, varnishing and putting on hangers
still in the mood for painting I had a go at a few more little ones of the tools I collect at sunday swap meets, here's a wire cutter, a ball-peen hammer and 3 small files :
All the same palette as the previous one of the secateurs, took around half an hour each
Once they're framed up I'll have them on display at my annual Back Garden Art Show ( details will be up here for that soon - once I've got the solo show stuff out the way ), and I'll put them up in the store section aswell
