I recently realised I needed to re-introduce art back into my life, if for no other reason than to rediscover the joy and freedom I felt drawing as a child. I use a variety of media including traditional and digital to depict varied subjects both 'worthy' and 'pop culture'. Just having fun!

What a beautiful restoration. It reminds me of Millet's "The Gleaner's" a small print of which used to hang in our hallway growing up as a child, along with another of his "The Angelus"

Michelangelo was my first art hero and I tried to see as much of his work as possible on a whirlwind Interrail backpacking tour in my first year of art college. It's heartening to see the value mankind places on art and beauty in the darkest of times. #michelangelo www.facebook.com/architecture...

This still looks very 'digital', which is not in itself a bad thing. But I like to apply the lessons learned in traditional media to digital and back again, so I try and keep my approaches similar. I imght tackle that in the next pass. #digitalart #procreate #queerart #male #nude #figure #physique

It is so easy to get out of practise, I really felt it whilst doing this, the colour block in done over yesterday's sketch. But we all know we have to push through the 'ugly' stage so I remain optimistic 🙂

For one reason or another it has been quite a while since I painted or drew much, so I'm happy to be back on the journey again at last. This is the preliminary sketch for a new piece I've just started working on.
