 Working on 'Black and White Paper' during the period when electricity is the dearest. A little snip here and then a little snip there, slowly building a collection of little paint and collage works.

 A photo of me in the studio while working on 'Courting the Young Progressives' in 2014. This work is from a ten part series, 'Apostasy'. Someone once remarked that they like the large amount of white in this painting, as it makes a less busy painting. Making an all over painting was what I was aiming for, but yes it does work well with more areas of nothing. Although, I did use areas of white in each 'Apostasy" painting, they were a lot smaller, and were meant to be flashes of white - like windows through the painting.

Art So - digital image from around 2015. The image was created using an old photo from 1980, and then combined with a figure generated in Poser figure generating software.

I have always been interested in computers and creating images, video, music, and animation since buying my first computer in 1988. There are about six images in this small series.  

  Paint and collage work on white paper. Original work is A4 size, but the digital version (shown) is available to be printed in various sizes. This work is part of an ongoing series of paint and  collage on either white paper or black paper. The series will probably amount to about 100 works when complete.

In the studio late 2025 checking out recent prints from my 'Twenty One' series.
