Old and New!
Before I post some video of the book, I wanted to share with you some of the changes my work has gone through over the last 3 or 4 years, and to do this will mean posting some old 'artwork'. Hopefully you can tell the difference! ;)
Looking back at old and new does two things for me, firstly it makes me feel proud of how far I've come, and secondly it makes me look forward to what I can do next. When I finish a piece of art, it is like letting go of the past and moving forward, so in that way, art for me is a form of therapy.

I hope you get a kick out of seeing the old stuff!
OLD (pre-2007)
NEW (post-2007)
The old ones were done using Painter Classic (I wouldn't use anything else!???), and the new ones Photoshop and Acrylics. The main thing I've learnt is to widen my use of mediums, and to experiment. Enjoy!

However the present moment, the extreme care with the details of the main figure
who is seeking to make the most of the art of drawing.
Congrats to the old and the present moment
Both are very good.
Looking forward to see your newest piece!
Take care!
Mark: to answer your question, see Em's comment below ;)
Lash: if I started drinking something, I doubt you'd ever see any artwork on this blog, one glass of wine and I'm anybodies! :) I actually went to the NCN caricature convention- Orlando, Florida, October 2006! I was inspired, humbled and enlightened, all at the same time!
...and of course hard work!!!
You're always an inspiration Mate!!!
Later :)
In awe mate - now I've got this pre 2007 caricature you did of me that needs updating !!!!
Klaas: Thanks, good seeing you in Ohio, great improvements yourself!
Patrick: Thanks!
Lar: The Murray was on my website, I was probably too ashamed to put it into a portfolio. Either way, thanks for remembering, and for the kind words :)
Tel: There wasn't one bit that clicked necessarily, just constant practice and experimentation. And if a new photo lands in my Inbox, you never know what might happen. No promises ;)
If this is really inspiring, thanks for sharing!
You know i'm glad you popped in and dropped a "cool" on my blog tonight.... it's been one of those days where the images just aren't coming onto the paper how I want them to.
A quick visit to your blog and I'm back in the mood again. Cheers Paul. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2010.
(P.S. It's Chris who is having a baby around the same time as you and your partner!)
Chris, good to hear from you, our arrivals are getting so CLOSE! Drop me an email and remind me of your due date.
Cheers!
