So, this image is similiar I guess to the tattooed sleeve on my left arm; or so some think. Autumn leaves and autumn colours! I love nothing more!

This picture hangs on the wall of Mantra tattoo studio; originally I started to draw it up as tattoo flash yet it finnished life as a stand alone painting.

I have to say that it lacks the intricate detail that I love to endulge in, but that 'comic book' style detail doesn't suit a piece like this; originally intended as a potential tattoo for somebody.

None the less, I think this design is pretty cool; in that it's very true to the stuff I love to draw!

Kissed by a rose.


I love to draw roses! Though, rarely am I happy with them; when I am, I'll look at them a few months later and I'll hate them!

This rose, painted on canvas with acrylic was a Mothers day present.

Again, looking at it now, there are things I'm not happy with, things I'd change, things I could have done better!

However, over all, I'm pretty happy with it's turn out; I don't often paint with acrylics and when I do I like to paint kinda' sloppy and dirty and use aerosals for a 'graphic' effect.

All that really matters though, is that my Mum loves it! My Nan also, so guess I've gotta' paint another!

Now this is a portrait 100% in my own style! This is how I love to draw; although, looking at this image now, I'm sure I'd make a few changes were I to draw it today.

This is Laura, my beautiful girlfriend.

Penny.


Similarly to a few posts below, this is a portrait of Penny, my girlfriend's cat. I drew this up for her as a Christmas present!

I honestly wasn't sure if I captured an accurate likeness; though Laura assurs me that I have!

By the way, Penny hates me!

Rorschach


So this is Rorschach from the Watchmen graphic novel by Alan Moore, recently a massive movie!

Although this is obviously based on works that have come before and was influenced by other Watchmen imagery; I pretty much just let myself go and drew this up the way I love to draw!

I recently sold this image too; part of me wishes I kept hold of it! Though, I'm sure one day I'll draw up some Rorschach imagery again as I love the character! Watch this space.

This is a portrait I did of my beloved dog Jack! Now again, this isn't strictly a concise portrait; as portrait work isn't really my forte, so this is very much a portrait in my own style and I think you can tell.

I actually drew this up; not only because I love my dog, but because I love him so much I wanted to get a tattoo of him! This image is tattooed on my leg!

This is something I drew up a while ago, it isn't purely from my own imagination, it is based on a panel from the Captain Britain comic book, a recent series that was sadly cancelled; as I bloody loved it!

Anyway, this panel in the comic book where Brian (Captain Britain) is reunited with his 'Hearts Desire', his lost wife struck a bit of a chord with me, hence why I felt the need to draw it up like I have.

In the comic, Brian believes his reunion with his wife to be fake, a hallucination of what he really wants; he does not know that is is for real and turns his back on her!
