Here I am again, irritated by the internet. Why do I do it to myself? Do I want to spend the entire morning endlessly typing the same email signature and username over and over? Loging in to all these different websites? Do I enjoy waiting for pages to load up, entering in my details, only for the page to crash? Well, i'll tell you now, I must do. I must absolutely love it, because I do it day in, day out. I am even doing it now, writing up this entry, despite having hour...

Hello again, hope all is well. All is going fine over here, another day another dollar as they say, I have not seen the dollar yet, but the day has been ok. Ok considering we are at that time of year again. I try to distance myself as far as possible from all the fake hype surrounding this time of year, and I succeed to a certain point but, it seems that christmas is forcing it's way into my personal space once again. This post is not a negative rant about anything, I can ju...

I am sitting here writing this entry in reasonably high spirits, despite being subjected to around two hours of prime time garbage TV. I say subjected to, because I occasionally have no choice in the matter. If it was up to me I think I would actually get rid of the TV now, for the little amount of time that I actually watch it, it is not even worth having. Don't worry, I do not plan on rattling on about rubbish all night, I have got some more work done tonight aswell. I ha...

Hello again, at last I can finally show you this painting I have just finished. It actually didn't take too long this one, only a few days. (Quite often, the best paintings are finished quickly, I find). It really did kind of "paint itself" too, however much that sounds like a cliche. What I mean by that is, I had this painting in mind, but in the end I just painted spontaneously, rather than to a plan. And I am pleased that I did, be...

Another day, another drawing. It's been a busy day today, I had the pleasure of visiting sunny hastings..... well I say sunny, what I really mean is cloudy hastings..... Well, what I really mean is cloudy and windy hastings..... Well ok, what I really mean is cloudy, windy and wet hastings!! I didn't mind though, I like it down that part of the coast. I like brighton and hastings in fact, so it was nice to get down there even for a short visit, which it was.

Just keep going. Thats the plan for me right now, I have been busy as always, had a productive day today working on yet another painting. I have been taking photos at various stages with this one, so I will be posting those as soon as it is finished. (I am finally able to put photos on this damn blog!!!) I have combined a portrait painting, with a citiscape all in one here, and I am very excited to get this one out there, should be added to portfolio page very soon.

I am in very good spirits despite the fact my commission has not gone ahead. I was asked to paint four portraits for somebody, all of the same subject, this at first seemed like a daunting task, but I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen now as the customer has pulled out......but never mind it happens.

On the flip side, I am producing more news sketches than ever before, and I am really enjoying doing so, I scan th...

As promised, here is the current update.... just finished new work titled "Ganymede and the Gas Giant". I am very excited with this painting, along with "The Beauty of Earth", I think these two will get a good response at future exhibitions, and it is very likely that I will be producing some prints of these too, so very happy indeed. I am now very eager to start my new commissioned paintings, which involve me painting the same portrait four times! This should be very intere...

I knew my positive thinking would pay off. It looks like I have another commission at last. Very happy about this indeed, it always feels good to get a commission, this one is particularly good because it has sentimental value, so it will be a very memorable painting. I will definately show you all my progress, step by step on this.

I am yet to finish the gas giant by the way, I have been very busy self promoting lately, something which we all ha...

I am in much better spirits since my last post, despite going through slightly slow times financially. There are always dry patches, and I am getting some work, so thats a reason to be happy right? And I am busy everyday exploring new avenues, so I am confident that things will get busier, just have to keep going.

Anyway, as promised, I am keeping you updated with my ongoing projects,and surprise,surprise its another space painting.(I am painting m...
