 Sixteen printed in this series so far. I have been using poster printing for these works - to save on money and also I like the effect. They are completely flat and complement the look that I am chasing. I am still contemplating the AI versions with accompaning AI essay - a few have been created and they will probably printed in A4 or A3 with text. I am in no hurry and have no gallery commitements for these works. Besides, I am working on multiple fronts these days and have to pace myself to get things done properly.

  Eyes Like Jezebel  - One of three works ready for printing in the 'Twenty One ' series. I have been working on trying to get quick and rough sketches to larger formats. Leaving corrections and roughness bare on the surface. The digital colouring and texturing through multiple layers have a way of equalising the drawings into a finished work. The final printed works (to me) look great with their strong colours and textured surface. Use of fake paper textures have been used in each of these 'Twenty One' series works which translates well from the digital to the final printed work. The big job coming - down the track - is the final completion of the much bigger paintings. Which I am finding to be quite a task.
