My postcards created for the International Postcard Show at the Surface Gallery in Nottingham. I used blue, white and gold ink and various paper ephemera on the postcard base, the building drawings are acrylic ink on kraft brown paper.

I’ve tried to show how the gold ink catches the light in the last two images.

The opening night for the show is 12th January and is on until 10th February.

Cleaned up, added thicker lines and red accents to this commission piece. The client wanted a piece like this inspired by vices- gambling, drinking etc

This is acrylic ink, gel pen and pigment ink pen on paper.

Test Card, ink pen, watercolour, colour fineliner, acrylic ink, white gel pen, 9x19cm

The small testcard was challenging to get looking right, I ended up using my mini colourful Stablio fineliners to colour in the sections.

New Artwork- Flamingos

Acrylic ink and pigment ink pen on canvas board, 10×15 cm

Flamingos seem to be everywhere at the moment, I’ve seen so many flamingo patterned things recently so I wanted to create something inspired by them.

In the second image I tried to show the shine of the gold ink on their beaks.
