Some Drawings of Luke I did Last Year.

A Painting.

'All My Eggs In One Basket', 2010, oil on canvas.
H=45.5cm x W= 35.5cm.


I know this is not very good. it's probably not even finished properly but I've lost interest in it. It looks like something I would've done as a teenager. But it's the only painting I've done lately.

Self Portrait

Today I did a self-portrait.
I haven't been doing a lot lately, but I force myself to do a drawing or a painting now and then.

I will post more of these little exercises soon.

Life Drawings.

I've really felt like doing some life drawing lately, but it's been a while so I'm kind of out of the loop with when such events are taking place.

I'm posting some life drawing I did last year and the year before.

Magazine Bowl

As you can see, this little bowl is made from magazine pages. Got the idea from the internets when looking for something cool to do my students and some old magazines. I'd never seen them before but a lot of people make them apparently. It really is surprisingly tough - if I were you I'd hope that I'll make you one as a present. Anyway - am going to try some variations on this when I get time - what else could I make I wonder?


Magazine bowl, 2009, magazine pages, glue. H=8cm x W=12.5cm

Just Desserts.

I've been photographing cakes a lot lately and have started making desserts out of all the plastic lids, buttons and beads I collect. I am trying to make things that remind me of my childhood, so I suppose these are inspired by things such as Tupperware, plastic toys from the 70's and 80's and outings to Miss Maud with my mum. These days I prefer a fruit cake. Takes one to know one I guess.
