Artwork

So… I decided to frame a few more pen sketches. Above you will see Southsea Castle and South Parade Pier, two places I love to visit in Southsea. Since my divorce and moving back into Southsea, I have slowly been framing and hanging more artwork. If you like these Southsea pen sketches and would like…

Over the years I have designed lots of logos, and helped many businesses with their brand identity. My core business is called Tidy Design and we have been creating bespoke websites, logos and company branding since 2007! Above is a recent logo design (December 2021), it was one of a few designs I created for…

In May 2021 I moved back to Southsea, an area of Portsmouth I left several years ago. I lived in Southsea for a number of years prior, but moved to Drayton in 2014. Having kids definitely changes things, schools and a garden become a consideration. Anyway, a lot has happened since leaving and returning to…

With Easter fast approaching, I thought I’d draw a daffodil. And as the daffodil is the national flower of Wales, it got me thinking… Where do dragons come from? Are the two connected?

I am pretty sure that Portsmouth Cathedral hosts various art exhibitions. This is something I should probably investigate once COVID is over and normality resumes. I often walk past Portsmouth Cathedral, so last weekend I decided to take a quick photo and illustrate it – what do you think? You will find a few more…

So this weekend I decided to draw and drop the “Gary Vee NFT” on Rarible, what do you think? A NFT is a non-fungible token, which means one of kind digital artwork. These tokens contain identifying information in a smart contract, so blockchain and crypto become much more than digital currency. If you follow Gary…

My eldest son is currently obsessed with Among Us and this Imposter dude. So, over the weekend I decided to draw a detailed Imposter for him. Ok, it may look a little scary and Among Us is not everyones cuppa tea, however Isaac loved it! I guess this is one of many reasons I draw…

What if Mario was a Viking? How would he look? I hope you like this doodle, it was inspired by an Instagram follower whose son love Mario. It is cool having something random and/or different to draw, adding my own twist on it. Maybe I should make a Mario art collection, “what if Mario was…

Yesterday evening I decided to grab my iPad Pro and get doodling. Sometimes I like to draw without direction, emptying my mind or processing my thoughts on a blank canvas. This illustration looks at social media and its impact on life. Let’s face it, our biggest commodity is time, once spent we cant buy it…

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I thought I’d draw Cupid and write a little poem. A reminder that Cupid is a key worker, so no furlough or days off for this little dude! Cupid knows lockdown is tough, but remember love conquers all, he has a plan… Cupid Love Poem Don’t look for love, let…
