Everyone likes Sax

This was a fun one to illustrate, mostly because I kept making saxophone noises while drawing it. I don’t want to say “I might do a series of these” because I’ve said that before and not followed through… however… This’ll be up on the shop tomorrow. Cheers Matt

Outcomes

The images above demonstrate the vast differences in outcomes that can arise from the same idea. It was pissing it down yesterday and it made me realise that summer is well and truly behind us. I think we’ve all at some point been caught huddling under a broken umbrella in the meagre hope that itContinue reading “Outcomes”

Spot Illustration

Wensleydale

Another one of these. This one took a bit longer than the previous one because I got caught up adding more detail. I’m not entirely sure I like the two closest characters, I feel like they could have… well, more character. I like the rest of it though. I may move on to some placesContinue reading “Wensleydale”

Visit Yorkshire! You’ll Like Our… Stile.

I’ve been meaning to do an ode to Yorkshire for a while now, and since I’ve been getting in contact with some local businesses in lieu of collaboration, I figured this was the perfect time to show off. This is a view of Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales, check out this link for more detailsContinue reading “Visit Yorkshire! You’ll Like Our… Stile.”

A Mountain of Books

I’ve struggled to read this year. I’m not entirely sure why this is the case but it seems to have been a trend for the last couple of years. I love reading and would class myself (as those fond of labels tend to do) as “a reader”, which I know sounds a bit elitist andContinue reading “A Mountain of Books”

Don’t Overwater Your Plants

I was watering the one plant that I have in my room today and I may have overdone it a tad. The most difficult part of this piece was working out the colours – I tried a few different approaches with this one which included using different shades of blue for everything as well asContinue reading “Don’t Overwater Your Plants”

K2

This was originally just a study of K2 but that seemed a little uninteresting, so I decided to make it a bit more informative. This actually took quite a while to complete because I had to constantly reign in the detail, and in the end I feel like the graphic-y quality lends itself well toContinue reading “K2”

Tip Your Waiter – print

This is the final print version for this piece. I had to change a couple of bits to make the image flow a little better, mostly things like filling negative space and adding detail here and there. I’m genuinely pleased with this one, I like the graphic-y style, simple colour scheme, and abstract aesthetic. ManyContinue reading “Tip Your Waiter – print”

Tip Your Waiter – prep piece for painting

The title says it all really. I’ll add some colours in photoshop to get the aesthetic right before painting. It’s going to be a similar colour scheme to the last one in terms of a limited palette. Will update with finished piece. Enjoy!
