Madonna

I really enjoyed the colour palette for my last piece Ritual, so I decided to try my hand on a follow up piece, this time titled Madonna. I'm fairly pleased with how she's come out, and had quite a lot of fun with the composition of the image and rendering the decorative elements. I feel … Continue reading Madonna →

A Risograph Test print

We got a new Risograph printer in work this week which I've done some tests on I'm quite excited to do some more Risograph work in the future! I love the texture it gives to my work, it adds so much depth to the pieces.

A collection of witch illustrations

I will potentially make these into wooden pins at a later date

Aye Aye

Aye Ayes are one of the sadder species of animals I've read about. They are currently endangered partially due to deforestation and partially due to the fact they're a little bit creepy looking. Local people kill them if they point their finger at them due to superstition. One of the cool things about Aye Ayes … Continue reading Aye Aye →

Abjection

Julia Kristeva wrote 'Powers of Horror: an Essay on Abjection' in 1982. I have created this image, choosing what I consider abject, I have focused on defilement, disease and death. The style was heavily influenced by Barron Storey.
