  • Abstract Advent: Week 2

    Abstract Advent: Week 2

    Last week was a blast, this week for the Abstract Advent the Christmas Shit™ started to bite, and I found it harder to juggle meeting up with people, portrait sessions, getting all the cards and parcels off in a panic because like storms, flooding, wrong kind of wind, snow and ice on the roads as…

  • Abstract Advent: Week 1

    Abstract Advent: Week 1

    After completing Inktober for the last two years I took a well-deserved rest this year, but am taking part in the slightly shorter ‘Abstract Advent’ as run by @artpedagogy, like an abstract advent calendar but on Instagram – so it runs from the 1st of December to the 24th.

  • ZEBRA Abstracts

    ZEBRA Abstracts

    I have been working on this series of Zebra abstracts for a while, spurred on by the purchase of a couple of Hake brushes, 2 1/2 inch and 3 inches. Hake brushes are originally Japanese and are soft goat’s hair brushes with a plain wooden or bamboo handle, and are used in pottery and furniture…
