what indeed can i say about this piece?  to be honest, words elude me…

mmmm  yummy deathvomit!

^as the wee ad says, PRINTS AVAILABLE on my Soc6 page [link]

also.

the ORIGINAL CANVAS is up for grabs – at what is a very fucking reasonable price.  go [here] for more pics. and give me a shout if you’re interested in adopting this beast [link].

and as ever, check out my facebook page where all the magic happens! [please love me]

just finished up with a series of nine paintings…

they were a bit of an experiment tbh, as i often have people tell me they’d love one of my paintings but can’t afford them. so this was an attempt to do a bunch of really cheap pieces that all had their own charm.

and my absolute favourite things to paint are skulls and eyeballs.. so these pieces kind of painted themselves.

anyways, i’ve put them up for grabs in the shop [link] so if you fancy one, get in touch!

however, the zoom facility on Society6 is pretty rubbish so you can’t see how the image looks close up. so, here is a bigger version of the print…

and here is a close up of a section, to give you an idea of the detail level and grain which is carried through from the original scanned painting

fabulous!

any questions, give me a shout [link]

and come say hi, over at the facebook page [link]

this is my childhood, my friends, and my inspiration – all now splattered out on a rather brightly coloured piece of canvas.

a couple of the characters used are from tattoos already inked on my friends – and i thank them for their permission to recreate them.

virtually all of the other IP on here belongs to big faceless corporations — with the exception of the robot and dog in the top corner overseeing the whole piece. those fellas they are the very specific intellectual property of sam brown at explodingdog. (i didn’t ask sam if i could use his characters, but i will write and tell him about this soon.)

please do check out http://www.explodingdog.com/
his sketches and characters have helped me put a voice to some of my own troubles, fears and dreams. his work has genuinely touched me. it truly is brilliant stuff!

there are more close-up shots, and progress photos of this painting over on my facebook page [LINK]

do rainbows happen over the ocean?  …they must. right?!

regardless, i was going for a piratey theme on this one.. though it does have more of a leaning towards the aquatic world in general.

still uncertain of a title yet. how about,  ”when the rivers run red  …and orange, and yellow, and green, et al..”. bit too cheesy perhaps. i do like, “death at sea” - but the picture is teeming with life, so it’s a bit of a misnomer! any thoughts?
