More news!

Hi peeps, just a further update for all of you (loosely speaking) who show an interest in my work.
I've got about 3 pieces in progress at the minute, and there'll be a revision to 1 or 2 existing pieces, probably 'Elizabeta' and 'Autumn', although Autumn seems popular so I might leave it alone....we'll see what my mood is like at the time I decide to do something!

The 3 pieces in progress are:

An untitled landscape piece which is giving me the mother of all headaches;
A piece entitled 'Same crimes, different faces', which is proving a real test of my abilities;
and an icon painted in a fusion of Serbian Orthodox styles and my own.

So keep checking back, there may be a sudden flood of new work for your viewing pleasure!

And for all the LSA's out there, remember this: You don't need a pension until you start to smell like biscuits and piss :p

'Sarah'


Ker-ching! 2 paintings in one month, I feel quite the prolific artist at the minute!

This painting came about when my fiancee, Ana, was having coffee with her sister Aleksandra, who suggested to her that 'Herr James' (as she calls me) should paint her portrait.

After battling the wind whilst carrying this 1 metre by 1 metre canvas to the bus stop, I got the bugger home and got started. 2 weeks later, and here it is.

Artistic license, as ever, has been used, but both Aleksandra and Ana are happy with the result, so I can leave this one alone at last!

And if you're wondering why it's called 'Sarah' and not 'Aleksandra', that's because Ana wanted her parents to call her little sister Sarah, and when they didn't she decided she'd call her Sarah anyway, hahahahaha!

Angel of the Carnival


Wow, just noticed I haven't posted anything for almost a year! Busy does not do justice to how mad mylife has been over the last 12 months, but I won't go into that here.....

Anyway, here's my latest piece, 'Angel of the Carnival'. I went for a comic-book feel here, with strong lines and flat blocks of colour, and a sense of mystery, both with the main character and the location.

Hope you all like it (Ana, Jilli and Bapuji, hahahaha) and there IS more to come!

And apologies for the camera flash below the eye on the left of the picture :(
