A few weeks ago I received 2 projects to complete before I begin my course at Camberwell. I really need to get going on these, however I’ve currently been occupying myself with watercolours/drawing. Usually when I want to draw I just pick a photo of a band, as they usually have plenty of creative looking photos to draw from. One of these includes my latest obsession, Mew
I found this photo on last.fm, it’s amazing!! To draw it though I had to up the contrast in Photoshop first to be able to pinpoint darker areas for shading. I will post the finished painting on here when it’s complete (which it very nearly is).
Erm…. I’ve ran out of things to say, minds gone blank, will be back later!.
Oh, I would like to use this blog to start posting other people’s work too. Actually, I’ll do it right now.
My hero right now is Shawn Barber, an actual genius. I think his work speaks for itself.
Check out his blog and website

Some great advice there as well as work. He inspired me to buy some oil paints and try a bit of painting myself. I’m still a bit nervous to start with them though and I need an image to paint. I can’t just do another band picture!
My sister is looking at his work for her Fine Art A Level. She’s done a few artist studies and is now working with her own photos. They are amazing!!! I need to persuade her to get a Flickr account so she can show off her talents.
Ciao for now. Will be back later to post the Mew illustration.
