monster

A mash up of hellboy and  classic 1930's frankenstein. full colour version a possibility.

further along

For a comparison to the earlier sketch, i though it would be interesting to show an almost finished version. the last few things to tweak might just be some overall colour or tone fixes to pull some parts together.

What's he building in there?

A quite frightening looking arrangement of gardening equipment my neighbour has in his garden. I couldn't get a straight shot at it out my bedroom window so its cobbled together from 3 or 4 different photos. 

the back yard

Sketch/ underpainting for a new thingy. just starting to build up some of the colours and textures. next step is to collage in some photo sources...

who you gonna call?

King Mask

A study of one of the residents of my toy shelf. drawn using ArtRage4

Throne

Fleshing out a sketch/ figure study from a few years ago..

hoodies

a quick concept sketch.

pointybirds

More grave robbing- a fairly early photoshop effort stripped back and reworked to a (very) basic composition, hope i can pull something new out of it.

Stop. Motion

Another work in progress re-think of an older piece, 

originally a exercise in digital painting that I was never happy with.

Linchpin

A re-working of an older piece - The progress so far ....

I'm hoping to be able to put up new W.I.P. every day this week. lets see.. :)

Construction

The random removal of layers from a photoshop piece.

Insulation

Some work in progress.

Piggy

Hotline helmet guy

Some Hotline Miami inspired scribbling.

red eye

I picked up some new painting software. its pretty quirky and has an "uncanny valley" sort of feel, its very close to natural media but not 100% definitely see some potential if i can get the hang of it.

devils karaoke

Another karaoke track made in Live. Beck's Devils Haircut.

Procket ship

Pixels. I grew up through the zx spectrum-atari st era, its funny to see pixel art become a "thing"

Escape from Fur

Collage

flame on

how did i end up here

Frosty

Paper collage

Ride Along

Paper collage

It might be Karaoke

My version of Ana Ng by The Might Be Giants for karaoke. as usual everything recorded  in ableton live

Pumpkin Karaoke

A cover of Rhinoceros by Smashing Pumpkins for me to wail over at the next karaoke party. I'm wasting a lot of time doing these lately but my general rule is if i cant knock it out in an afternoon it's not worth it.

Pirates for some reason...

A couple of things i did for a local business that ended up not being used. Huge prints were made,  fixed to walls then minds were changed. :/

invasion

Made with ancient Atari ST art program Neochrome using the ST emulator Steem.

Disappointed to find out that my graphic pen didn't work- mouse fumbling only.

Venturing into the world of audio on linux. A one take improvisation on prepared guitar using a realtime looping sampler app.

a smaller part of a larger organism (2)

paper collage

On Friday I played a set at cafe Humbug here in Stavanger- I didnt record it but here I used some of the clips i generated on the night as the basis for a new 10 min improv.

quick mess around to see how ableton live handles several audio and midi tracks on my weak laptop. cheesy Em chords and random drum smashes abound.

robot monster

Experimenting with old school 3d effects in photoshop.

Sound and vision

Sketch for a new photoshop project.

Muffle

A photoshop piece I've working on for some time and can't seem to make work. Stripped away loads of layers to try to find a new way forward

Hands Dirty

Smudged acetate print

Pillars

Cut paper collage, inkjet on tracing paper, pen, pencil, plastic sheet.

Bright Light

Print on paper and acetate with a printer that doesn't print on acetate. Plus strategic camera flash.

12 points of articulation

"Aurra Sing " Star wars figure/Photoshop. Possibly the basis for a more finished piece.

Isen er usikker

The fog at mosvannet. Was pretty much finished with this when I realised

what a boring pose I used for the robot. Oh well, next time.
