Backlog of Work

This is a selection of the backlog of my works that have not been placed on the journal before. This catalogues several months work, starting in March and finishing in July of this year. It proves that the last couple of months have not all been about changing my style and becoming a painter.


'Jam Nights' - For Sale - £25
This piece is all about 1930/40's Jazz era and uses a very early guitar to illustrate the vast improvements in the development of guitars over the centuries.





'Red Lips' - For Sale - £30
A model shot with a circle. I really like the reflections in her sunglasses.





'Girl in a Circle' - For Sale - £30
This is the first time that I have used a picture of a frame to frame the picture and I am very pleased with the results. The model was from a photographic magazine and I believe that she was very popular in the 70's





'Eye to Eye' - For Sale - £40
Another attempt at introducing humour into the frame. The expression on the man's face says it all and why not? If you came face to face with a floating fish would you not look that way?





'Ballet Beauty' - For Sale - £50
This pose was the way forward for this piece and the fact that she is sitting dead centre of the circle is great fun.






'Turban' - For Sale - £35
A classic Indian pose with a colourful turban, that makes this an exciting piece.





'Tin Whistle Blues' - For Sale - £35
I like the fact that this man's hands around the whistle look huge and it adds to the surrealism of the piece. Maps coming again!




'A Ticket to Beauty' - For Sale - £40
This is a chance to use illustrations as well as photographs and it is meant to depict the modern cost of using beauty in the fashion industry.





'Landfall' - For Sale - £40
Another piece that is completely surreal and the images are choosen because they go together well, but are all on completely different subjects.





'Hong Kong Greeting' - For Sale - £35
Surreal piece again, this time the use of stamps comes back and then we have two people greating each other and that is how we get the title.






'Eleventh Hour' - For Sale - £40
No idea about the title except that I believe that it was finished at 23.00 hrs GMT. I like the way that all the faces are not staring out at you and are looking away.
