Mr Orangutan - Watercolour

This is my biggest watercolour to date, 30Inches x 22Inches



Margaret Thatcher - process

So omne of the things that really help me to learn new painting techniques is to look at step by step processes. I'm not saying this is the best way, but I documented some of my process for the Maggie Thatcher piece. Hope you find it useful in some way !













Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon

One of my favorite bands, I enjoyed this painting very much


Tiger Translate - Dubai


I was honored to be involved with the massive Tiger Translate project this year. I got to paint a few walls and see my artwork on display during one of the coolest nights Dubai has ever seen. The project was curated by the fabulous Fathima www.thedomino.org. Hers is some of my work.













I'll get my interview !


 Here is a recent illustration piece I finished up. Based on the Oprah Winfry interview with Lance Armstrong
