Childhood Hero Start To Finish

 

Childhood Hero

I did this for the art blog we have here at Boulder, the theme for September was 'Childhood Hero'.... I had many. I'll do a post showing the stages at some point cuz I like that sort of thing when I'm looking at other peoples work. Enjoy!

Tina come get some ham!

Ah hoi hoi, we have a little gallery going on in work where you can do a picture and put it up on the wall so this was printed out in a5 and framed. It's the first time I've seriously tried to do a caricature so I think it was wise to go with someone with very distinct features like Napoleon Dynamite. It's a pretty rough around the edges but I'm fairly happy with it based on the amount of time I allowed myself to do it, roughly 2/3 hours. Hope you dig!

Katie Kate!

This was for Kate's 1st birthday, she's my niece, happy birthday missus..... I'm done painting babies!!

Baby!

Did this for a friend of the family, it's her grand daughter. Babies are hard to get right cuz there's less creases to break up the face.

Gizzlefrizzle!

Hola! I've been a naughty blogger for the last couple months, I haven't uploaded anything in far too long. SO....... living back in Ireland now for awhile, it's pretty cool except for the lack of funds coupled with higher price tags for everything! Missing all the Ink crew back in Dundee, great bunch of people and never a dull moment... hope yis are all dandy!

Anyway, I painted this back in May for my girlfriend Carol who, as of yesterday, I'm with 3 years now or 1096 DAYS!..........meow

Hope you dig!

ps it was for her birthday

Me Da!

I'll start with this since it's the latest thing I've done. Did this at the weekend, my dad has been nagging me to do a portrait of him for months and since it was his birthday this weekend I finally did it. Done in photoshop and took about 8 hours including distractions (phone calls, playing with belly button fluff etc.) I'm pretty chuffed with it. That's it for today, I'm going to bed.
