It's been a while, so I aim to do a few posts over the next few days to make up.
I wanted to share some of the images I worked on for the Kickback Motorcycle Show which happened at London's Olympia at the very end of October. Of course my plan was to showcase some bits and pieces on here before that event, but hey-ho life sometimes gets in the way of good intentions and time just disappears, as it has all year.
Anyway, the show was great - lots of fantastic bikes, great crowds and a good bit of bike art, including some of my prints. Still feeling these events out and trying to figure out the best way to show at them, and I have come to the conclusion that because of the vastness of the halls I need to do BIG pictures. That is great because the best way, in my view, to look at the work I am doing now is on as big a scale as possible - the pieces easily stretch up to A0 size, and would go beyond too.
And here, just to show you what I mean I thought I would show one of the new pieces at a goodish size, but also some close ups. I actually think I might start working just on details like these close ups anyway, rather than a whole 'scene', but we shall see....come to think about it, I mentioned this before.....
So, here is Go! in all it's glory:

Even when I was working on this one and had scanned in the main image of the girl I was getting fascinated with the close up details of the line drawing, and that is why I reproduced her face large in the background.
The bikers were drawn very roughly and I worked on the line artwork of them until only essential details remained:

And here is the girl - I am really enjoying the whole 'Pop Art' aspect of this style of work - the world can be too glum, and it is good to have fun:
I'll share some more details before the week is out, promise!! :-)
Meanwhile for details of beautiful giclée prints available of this and other images have a look at the 'Prints' page on my website here
