Digital. 3 in a series of 4. Blue is “Unicorn L”‘s rescue dog. He’s a cheeky chappie, and the goodest boy. I’ve gone for a Warhol-esque feel. Warhol liked to combine vivid colour and halftones for his screenprinted works. I’ve taken the halftone effect one stage further, using lines to achieve an engraved aesthetic.
“Pup Art: Roxy”
Digital, Second in a series of four. Today’s subject is Roxy, the 14 year old Great Dane. She’s a gentle giant, and has seen me through most of my journey. She’s also the laziest dog in the world, but at her age that’s perfectly acceptable. For a Great Dane, 14 is a very good age! …
“Pup Art: Mika”
Digital. First in a series of 4. I’ve been doing some digital stuff whilst I plan out my next project. It’s been a while since I went full-tilt in Photoshop. Today’s subject is Mika, the Malinois (Belgian Shepherd) pup. I say pup – he’s more like a moody teenager now. I’ve gone for a Warhol-esque …
“Coil Jug”
Ceramic. A jug made from coiled clay. I’m scared of the handle, though it’s a lot more solid than it looks. As you can possibly tell, I really like the blue glaze. The inside is glazed with a turquoise, some of which is evident around the top of the jug.
“Thrown Bowl”
Ceramic. A nicely sized little bowl, this is my largest wheel-thrown piece to date. I like the distressed effect on the overglaze.
“Moulded Dish”
Ceramic. A moulded dish, with hand carved decoration. Finished using oxides for colour (Copper Oxide, Cobalt Oxide and Black Iron Oxide mostly). Not entirely practical, but it sure is pretty.
“Surprised Pot”
Ceramic. This little pot had an issue which became obvious during the decorating stage – a thin part which sadly became a hole. Rather than waste the pot, I made the hole a feature. The surprised pot is an ideal size for holding some copper wool for cleaning off soldering iron tips, and the hole …
“Coil Dish”
Coiled Ceramic. A little side dish, ideal for holding small screws during deconstruction projects!
“Lady Coos”
Acrylic on Canvas, 35cm x 45cm. Created as my “Pride Month 2023” piece, There’s one for each colour of the rainbow, and one with all the colours of the rainbow together. They have a painted acrylic base, stencilled UV active middle and a gold screenprinted top layer. There’s some metallic red in there too.
