A lot can happen in the next four years

Early next year I will be participating in a group exhibition for UAE illustrators organised by The Domino in Dubai. This will be the first piece I put in. It's titled "A lot can happen in the next for years" and it's a satirical look at the second terms of Bush, Nixon, Lincoln and Clinton as they all had somewhat eventful second terms

Creative Intellectuals series

Apologies for the lack of recent posts, but what with moving countries and setting up the business it's been pretty crazy ! Here are some scans of a big 30 painting commission for the Jumeirah Creekside Hotel here in Dubai. 30 creative intellectuals painted for the academy business centre, all watercolor. The paintings are now all hanging in the hotel so if your in Dubai then why not pass by and take a look. You may or may not know all of these guys, I don't have time to label them today ! My favorites have to be the Einstein and the Steve Jobs, what about yours ?

Two Door Cinema Club

Here is my latest project for Hot Press magazine, digitally painted in Photoshop on my Cintiq
