just keeping my head above water

Many of us are aware that some people are method actors, having to encompass all the emotion difficulties when playing at part. It seems that without noticing I have been making work about drowning and in the process, been drowning my self, financially, emotionally etc. So it is with this image that I currently am just about keeping my head above water. I cannot struggle like this forever - lets hope my story has a happy ending.

Tangents, Mallards and peoples heads

A ha! for the avid I'm periodical reader(s) there is some news, I have another blog. Peoples heads is a blog I am dedicating to drawings of peoples heads, faces and other bodily parts, above is Boris Johnston with what can only be described as a Mallard, I have no idea what that could mean.

Excuse me while I digress

Coasters - an illustrated anthology, has just been released for general sale by Atlantic Press ltd. I have contributed to it with the above image and also I designed it. So if your interested to see more of it you can buy it from me at £8.50 or alternatively from Atlantic Press.

this is the sales blurb:

"it is unusual to come across an illustrated anthology which is so coherent and well choreographed. if as the artist joseph Beuys suggests, thinking is form, then this is a very thoughtful book, expressed through vibrantly drawn and written lines.
Here, poetry aligns both image and text far beyond the poems"

nice.

The point of tears

Its been too long now since I last posted something, so here goes – this is a drawing from a set of drawings about crying. yes crying. I have been lucky enough to get some of my work published by Atlantic Press due for release in September/October time, the small hard-back book will be (hopefully) created from the same methodology as before, drawings on top of drawings, drawing out the story intuitively.

So I am going to attempt to post more based on my research into why we cry and what the point of them is.
