Their previous issue – which can be found here featured work from their great mail-art exhibition which was held at the start of the year and which has been blogged about here
This bit of illustrated typography was created in response to the 7 Sins contest brief which required entrants to create artwork based around the theme of the 7 Deadly Sins.
The illustration was created using a mixture of pencil, pen & ink, watercolour, magic marker and fineliner and the original size of the digital file is 70cm x 100cm.
Painted 2009. Acrylic on Canvas.
This painting shows a view of the hillside in Tala. It was painted during the early morning while the sun was coming up. The aim of this piece was to capture the changing light one sees at this time of the day. The semi-abstract shapes are the result of working on the painting over several days. No preliminary sketches were made; instead drawings were made directly onto the canvas. This painting was created whilst sitting in front of the view it depicts.
This painting is for sale. The price is 350 euros (or the equivalent in your own currency) and shipping would cost extra. To purchase, send an email with your request.
These two illustrations were created for the Nobrow open brief on Flickr which required two illustrations; People I’ll never Meet & Conversations I’ll never Have.
These illustrations were created using a combination of pencil, watercolour, felt tip and pen & ink.
Archaeological Illustrations.
These illustrations were supplied many years ago for Warwick council’s archaeological department. They were created using Rotring pens. I have forgotten the scale but they used fairly standard conventions.
The illustrations variously depict thimbles, stones from a church, buckles & jewellrey.
