I'm not entirely sure whether it's the price (£2.99 for 4 - fuck yes!) of the innate holdability if these canvases but I do appear to be really quite fond of them so here's some 5"x7" works I've done over the past two years or so... I think they're in roughly chronological order but don't quote me on that
I'm fairly sure that this was the first one I ever did
Definitely my favourite - he lives to doubt me (you can read a little more about him here)
I completely adore this one because, regardless of tow textured it looks, it's completely smooth to the touch
This one's a little different - it's a simple three part stencil (from the utterly brilliand film Let The Right One In) that I poured resin onto to give an eerily flat look
This was one of my more experimental pieces - the background texture is created with a palet knife and some grout then covered an a few different washes and the text is chipboard lettering that I found in a market somewhere, flocked, and placed on screws so it sits slightly above the canvas
I'm quite fond of this one (even though I'm not sure I like the way it looks) because a. it was the first time it ever occurred to me to use impasto gel and stencils to build up texture and b. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is my lord and master
... and so that's most of them - there's a few dotted about that I've either lost or given away (I clearly give the best gifts) but that's at least half of them
There's a new one sitting in front of me right now but that'll have to wait until I find my ever-elusive camera charger
