Big Top Tease
I've just started another piece called 'Big Top Tease', as part of the circus series.
You can see the start of this below - I'm particularly interested in capturing the shapes, lines and angles throughout the scene, as well as a vintage feel.

Circus Time
I've recently become interested in illustrating the circus and all it's mysterious elements..Inspired by vintage circus illustrations and my own photographs, I've started on a big piece which incorporates both burlesque and circus aspects.
The circus is something that has always caught my imagination from an early age. In this piece I want to capture these memories and bring to life a familiar, yet other worldly scene that most childhoods have been inspired by in one way or another - conveying it in a slightly abstract and surreal style.
Please see below the work in progress and circus illustrations that have caught my eye;

The New Artist Fair took place last weekend - it was great to see everyone's work up and meet the artists exhibiting. The opening night was packed and there was a good mix of work up, in a well curated exhibition by the organisers Leah and Oliver.
Visitors were able to vote for their favourite artist and the one with the most votes wins the Hogan Art International Art Prize. My favourite work was by Mark Powell, who does very detailed bic biro drawings on vintage envelopes..you can see his work here.
Looking forward to maybe showing work again with them, their next one is scheduled for September 2012. Here's some photos from the fair;

New Artist Fair
Looking forward to showing a few paintings at the New Artist Fair. This will be at the Candid Arts Galleries in Islington, from the 23rd-26th February..and will be an affordable and friendly gallery environment.
It looks like there'll be a lot of exciting art work there from new and emerging artists.
Here's what the organisers have to say about the fair;
"As an artist-run organisation, the New Artist Fair gives artists back the power over how their art is promoted and sold, by cutting out gallery fees.
We promote all artists who are looking to sell their work directly to art lovers, buyers, and collectors.
Our goal is to make selling artwork directly to buyers easier and more cost-effective for artists and we promote a varied mixture of artworks at prices from £50 to £1000. We exhibit good quality, affordable art to a wide range of buyers and encourage people to invest in art while supporting new talented artists. "
