My entry for the Folio Society Book Illustration Award ☠️🌸🔪
This one was very personal. I'm a longtime fan of @neilhimself, possibly the nicest man on the planet and an astonishingly good writer.
So many artists and illustrators who have influenced me went into this. There's a lot of me in in two, parts of it are old art I drew nearly 2 decades ago.
I don’t always plan a painting in advance. Sometimes a spontaneous idea comes to me, which then merges with colour, water and paper to create a new picture.
J’ai fait une petite vidéo qui montre le processus d’impression de ma dernière linogravure 👇
Description de la vidéo : on voit ma main enduire un rouleau d’encre puis l’appliquer sur la plaque, mettre la plaque dans une presse, poser une feuille et un tissu feutre dessus, et enfin décoller l’estampe de la plaque
Are you in the mood for some fresh fruit?
Watermelon circle is part of my mini series of three acrylic paintings of fresh watermelons in bright shades of pink, green, white and blue in contemporary square format.
