Started on the technical drawing pass in Illustrator (click for hi-res version)
I’ve never really got on with Illustrator, its not ‘hands on’ enough for me. Hopefully it’ll be worth persevering and getting to know it a bit better.

More watercolours
Tried to go weird. Need to go weirder. Challenge accepted.
Decks Picture 24th June 2015
Finished mocking up what its pretty much going to look like.
I’m going to make a full-on technical line drawing in illustrator next. Then colour it flat colours with maybe a couple of gradients. Maybe I’ll do it CMYK. Part of an evolving master plan. Eventually I’ll get to the point where I can transfer the lot to an A1 canvas and start actually painting. Some time.

Pics from tonight.
Had an idea. Big Cartel for canvas prints.
Start of a new big painting
I want to make a nice paint by numbers to keep me busy over the coming months.
I’ve been into hip hop and the turntablism scene for as long as I can remember so I’m nerding out and painting a big, graphic picture of my decks mid-mix.
I’ve started to mock up how its going to look before I start doing any actual measuring and drawing. Sorting the colours and the geeky detail that only proper trainspotting dj’s would get.
Massive nerd out.

Back again.
Got a little bit bored so it all went a bit silly. Boredom breeds creativity.
Getting all excited about a new big painting that I’m thinking of doing. Unfeasibly nerdy…
