Emoticon sundial - centrepiece prop for forthcomi

Emoticon sundial - centrepiece prop for forthcoming (months away most like) Black Crow music video. Made from an old pub table. As well as the icons it has various Latin phrases in bold type and in smaller fonts as a contrasting texture. The origami rabbits are secondary props for a few cutaway shots. The blackened Chinese lantern I'm planning on using as a flicker-effect practical light possibly with haze. #engraving #folkart #rabbit #sculpture #sundial #gothic #gothicstyle #dark #emotions #emoticon

Got more shares than I was expecting for the Went

Got more shares than I was expecting for the Went to Sea illustration so I put an extra A2 print in the pot. Thanks to all who commented/shared - congrats to Marie Ni Bhraonain and David Ireland.

'Went to Sea', the completed large scale painting

'Went to Sea', the completed large scale painting I've been working on and off over the last 18 months, based on a quotation I heard from the World at War series: "I knew a lad who went to sea who left the land behind him, I knew him well for the lad was me but now I cannot find him". (See previous posts for closeups).To celebrate finally getting the f#*ker over the line I have a 16x24inch 190g print to give away - share here or on Facebook for a name in the hat. #concept #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #painting #realism #oldboat #atmosphere #cinematic #mist #rain #clouds #realism #landscapepainting #art #lighting #draw #drawing #magpie #bones #ireland #thorn #tree #trees #grass

Another section detail from the large format paint

Another section detail from the large format painting I've been working on over the last year and a half. One, of several, things I found very hard to get right was the scutch grass. Even using references it was tricky trying to give it a sense of separation and depth. Added to that there was also so much of it. That said it helped give the painting a feel of left to right direction aswell as mimicking the movement of waves under the boat. #concept #conceptart #conceptartist #illustration #painting #atmosphere #cinematic #drawing #magpie #realism #landscapepainting #boat #ireland #clouds #lighting

Section detail from a large format painting I've been working on since November 2019. It's taken around five times longer than the previous big pieces due to the complexity of the setting and some of the elements but I'm relieved to nearly have it over the line. #concept #conceptart #conceptartist #illustration #painting #atmosphere #cinematic #drawing #mist #realism #landscapepainting #boat #clouds #lighting
