AI generates. Artists create. Let’s not confuse the two.

A little step away from attempting realism and taking it back to basics towards something that feels more like my own language and style.

Oof that was fun! 🤩

Curious to see where it leads - perhaps beyond the gallery wall... Tattoo, anyone? 👀

Working only in ink means every mark becomes part of the final piece. The image isn’t found all at once, but built through hundreds of small decisions. Like us, I suppose.

Finishing pieces I’m beginning to feel proud of, and thinking more carefully about how to build a body of work that feels like mine. Continuing to explore dissolution - letting the figure emerge and disappear, removing information where it feels I can. Each piece is just a lesson in restraint - still so much to learn, and it’s good.

Who remembers this album? 👀 one of my favourites 🎵 … though I think my fandom stops there 🙊

Bought a load of different inks from #diamine - they flow perfectly. This is the gorgeous deep rich Oxblood 😍 planning a full-size piece in this 👌🏼

Finding drawing spaces where I can at the moment 😆 but only a short time and we’ll be relocated to York! After quite the faff with where to move, very excited to be in a new city and to meet some new fellow artists. York Life Drawing peoples, feel free to reach out! I’d love to hear about regular meet ups 🙏🏻🖊️
