This piece “Untitled 02/01/2022” or nickname ‘Swirls’ is finally complete. Let me tell you, this one was also a struggle to complete because it went against every grain of my being. Drawing it literally felt like rubbing my fingers against wood grain. Let me explain. When I draw, I follow an intuitive process of, “if it feels right, I draw.” This piece came to me as a vision while driving and it took me several sheets of paper to get it to look as close to my vision as possible. I know that this piece is meant for someone in this world and it will feel right to them. It’s energy, however, doesn’t resonate with me – but that does not mean that even under those circumstances I cannot create work for someone else. So here it is, “Untitled 02/01/2022” is waiting for you. For as difficult as it was for me to make, I hope that it finds you easily. Please share this with your friends :)

Ps, I am going to start shying away from giving my drawings names in order to keep them as pure to their owners as possible. I don’t want to sway anyone’s interpretations of them with my titling. So ‘Swirls’ will be the last nickname I give to an abstract work of art.
I keep whining about how all my photos have power lines cutting through them. Decided to focus my attention on the lines themselves. I will probably make a public pool for these at some point.

The horse (later a tractor) pulled the spinner along. The net caught the potatoes which were them picked up, usually by women, who put them into sacks for market or the store shed of the farm for saving as seed potatoes.
This panoramic drawing of London, looking west, north and east from the public viewing gallery of the Shard Tower, 800ft above ground level, was inspired by historic panoramas of the city by 17th century artists including Hollar, Visscher, Wyngaerde and others.
The composition is based on photographs I took from the viewing gallery in February 2013 and was drawn freehand with a fineliner pen on Bristol Board and took around 4 months to complete, measuring 105 by 30 cm.

Facebook cover image. A line doodle I did one day. Just moved from left to right, just making up monsters as I went. I kind of struggled with it. It didn't flow the way I hoped it would. Some of the monsters just seem to be sitting there. The portrait section is cropped off here, since this is the cover image. The full portrait was uploaded separately so that it line up perfectly with this image.
