Happy 2015!

So, finally got back into my studio yesterday. It's the start of a new era when I will be there for about 4 days a week. Over the last 6 months I have been having a lot of difficult feelings about being made redundant at the university and the engaged art work I have been doing on Foxhill council estate.

I decided to do a spontaneous drawing that would start to get these feelings out. Here it is with some details as well.






















































It was a series of violent acts and it shook me up quite a bit. Didn't realize how angry I was.
It's called For all the bullshit in my life. Could be the start of something good.

progress

Over the last couple of months I've been working on about 5 paintings and also finishing off the Yorkshire Artspace work with Stuart and Callum. We have an exhibition at 35 Chapel Walk between the 12th and 17th January. After that I'll paint, paint, paint.
