Just delivered this one to the gallery. It's a space invader made using 168 British postage stamps (1st class for the dark background and 5p for the lighter areas). If you're close to Chelmsford, it'll be on sale at Artists at the Meadows from next week. Come and take a look.

It took a loooong time to sort and mount all of these tubes of paint. Happy with the result though. Technically my first artwork on oils.

Put this one up for sale today. If you like it, and you're anywhere near Chelmsford, you'll find it in Artists at the Meadows. It's made up of thousands of individual shapes, drawn in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black Bic Biros. I'll put a detail shot in the first reply.

Work in progress. This poor Bic fineliner has been at it for four hours and it’s about 10% of the way through this picture. I reckon it’s going to take until the end of the week to finish.
