Chateau Sentout
Paper Model
Paper design and crafting is very much part of packaging prototyping. I was interested in how small I could go. This is a stylised model of the Chateau Sentout in Bordeax. With lights.
Gloria
Christmas image
Had this image of star and Nazareth in mind, thinking God and his box of matches - 'wots this over 'ere then?'. Casual omnipotence. Airbrush and acrylic, about A3 size.
Russian Train
Promotional Image.
Russian lady on a train. There was actually a service called 'Red Arrow' at one time (krasnaya strepa), so I used it in the image. Airbrush and acrylic. about A2 size.
Dragon
Airbrush Painting
A painting I did while experimenting with the airbrush. Yin yang - the balance is immutable, style of thing. Airbrush and Goache. A bit larger than A2 size.
Rainy City Hall
Manchester Town Hall
Originally a magazine cover pic but I made some prints of it too, as a duotint. Of course it never rains much in Manchester, does it?
Bees
Pencil drawings
This was the development work for a brochure. Actually I did use the computer for colouring. Its a great effect, the drawings coming to life.
Ink drawings
Nature dawings
These drawings for a nature booklet. Pen and ink. Rotring pens were my favourite for a time, but I try lots of pens. Or fine brush.
Sky Lady
Watercolour painting
Bit Dali-esque. I like the strange reality. I have seen clouds like that. Watercolour and white goache. About A4 size
Antique Revolver
Paper model
For a presentation. These are mounted, cut out photographs from a real 'civil war' pistol. Mounted in a box frame. Good illusion. Also a booklet for it.
Thorny Rose
Pen drawing
This was for a Christian music record. The rose within a crown of thorns was required. I put a spiral pattern into the inner thorns. Ink, about A3 size.
Moonchild
Poster for theatre play
Black goache and ink pen and brush. Dotty coarse treatment made it easy to print without processing it a lot. Dates and venue was added later. A0 size.
Train on glass
Stained glass picture
Used acrylic 'Lead Liner' black over line artwork. Poured glass paint into the 'walled' areas. Horizontally made. Used wobbly glass. About 80x40 cm.
