Artwork

I am pretty sure Portsmouth Cathedral hosts art exhibitions, something I should probably research. 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 of my Portsmouth landmark drawings on the Tidy Blog. If you…

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…

So this weekend I signed up to Rarible, a platform to create and sell digital artwork secured with blockchain technology. The plan is to create a selection of Ethereum themed artwork, offering my art collection to ETH investors. ETH, NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) and Art Non-fungible tokens contain identifying information, these are recorded in a smart…

This illustration was inspired by a poem written by American poet Mr Robert Frost. The poem is called “The Road Not Taken” and it looks at life, more specifically the decisions we each have to make. Over the past few months I have been drawing a lot, this illustration is something a little different, I…

Several weeks ago I got to work on some Reef Trust artwork, something they could use for merchandise and a T-shirt design. I wanted to capture their logo within an ocean themed setting, highlighting some of the many issues they aim to tackle. This artwork was donated to the project by Tidy Design. It starts…

Earlier today I created “The Mask”, some face mask artwork for social media. This was a quick illustration I did in Procreate, an image I had in my head. I guess I was thinking about “The Creation of Adam”, this is some famous artwork by Michelangelo, two hands almost touching. With COVID being front page…

Yesterday was the 10th of October, what is known to many as World Mental Health Day. With this in mind I wanted to draw something different, dedicating it to the people who battle mental health on a daily basis. This artwork is for the warriors, the brave, those who push forwards, often putting others first….

Back in September 2019 I submitted a couple of oil paintings and a selection of pen sketches to the Haslemere Art Society exhibition. I had not painted with oils before, many years ago I dabbled with acrylics, I had also used watercolours. But oil painting, this was a new beast… The Stag – work in…

In today’s post let’s take a look at the term “creative agency” and what it means, symbolises and represents. To be a creative agency is to deliver awesomeness, thinking outside the box to produce quality graphics, content, media and marketing material. When looking to hire a creative agency, review a few case studies first, or…
