print me up baby,


hey lovelies, 

so, because i've had a couple of requests from people about some of my works in exIBit, i'm getting two works printed on postcard sized cards, about 20 each, which is pretty damn exciting :DD


So Long As I Get Somewhere...

40 x 54.2 cm
Giclee Print: digital painting (with Wacom Tablet) on smooth cotton

description (didactic): This is perhaps the digital work I’m most happy with. I was able to combine my drawing skill with my knowledge of Photoshop. The text is drawn from the song Runaway by The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs from the most recent album It’s Blitz. I felt the lyrics were appropriate to the “Alice” theme because they evoke a sense of isolation, escapism and entrapment that is also explored in the story. I wanted the “Alice” character to appear trapped and isolated, using elements of Art Nouveau and her hair to achieve that.



Breathing Black/Breath in Black

29.5 x 28.1 cms
graphite, ink + finepoint pen on Saunders watercolour paper

(description is in the post 'the mad-header')



if you would like a copy/copies let me know, 
though i must levy a fee (haha) to cover the costs of printing, but it shouldn't be too much.
