New piece!


Here's my latest PG piece that I will hopefully be selling in Blackwells, I'll be sure to let you all know how it turns out.

Dan.

Now in store!



I had the phenomenal opportunity to sell some my work in Blackwells art store in the the centre of Newcastle. It may have just been the one piece but it again sold almost instantly and I'm now currently working on others of a similar feel that I think may prove to be great sellers, heres hoping!
I also entered the design into a T-shirt competition but unfortunately didn't even come close, what do they know right! 
Anyway, the rest are framed up and trying to find good welcome homes so spread the word.

Take care,

Dan.

Illustration North East exhibition.






An exhibition showcasing the talents of local artists gave me my first experience exhibiting my work and selling it. With three pieces on display and all three selling within the first 2 hours of the event I couldn't of asked for a better start. This also gave me the opportunity to see how others approach their own artwork which can only benefit someone who intends to make a living this way.

Posca pens. Again. I'm sorry.




Experimenting with the use of acrylics with Poscas, not there yet but something's definitely brewing.
Keep your peepers peeled.

Threadless tee.



I'm not sure where the idea for this tee came from, I suspect its from all the nature shows I've been watching. I originally drew the bat as just a bat but as per usual couldn't just leave it at that so threw a vest and some boxers on him. Its a bit rushed ( due to running out of Posca pens I've been forced to go back to other means of illustration, which I ain't happy about) and I reckon that if I had more time I could've done something a bit better with it but I'm pleased and reckon the colouring works a treat.
Anyway, I've put it up for some critique before I enter it properly. I don't know if that was a wise move since I'm not the best at taking criticism.
So go check it out and tell me what you think!

Latest Posca doodles. (And Spongebob).



Just finished these two pieces and it looks like they'll be the last until payday as my relentless abuse of my Posca pens has resulted in a majority of them running out at the same time. Life's like that I guess.
Ah well.
Keep jammin.
