Off-season

I've found a renewed love for my home town this week, so I thought I'd put up these photos I took back in November. I live in a seaside town that hasn't progressed much since Victorian times. It's pretty boring, there's virtually nothing to do if you're a teenager except get drunk under the pier and the biggest news story on an average week is controversy over pasties. That said, I've lived here all my life and I kind of love it. These were all taken with a manual camera which says "Made in the USSR" on it, cuz I'm all retro and indie like that.

Some drawings I've done recently

'Storm in a teacup' pencil sketch.

Tattoo design for Adam.

Possible tattoo design for Matt. A little rough.

Ruth sketch.

My (Instant) Artist Statement

My work explores the relationship between new class identities and skateboard ethics.
With influences as diverse as Kierkegaard and Roy Lichtenstein, new tensions are generated from both simple and complex layers.
Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes corrupted into a tragedy of power, leaving only a sense of decadence and the chance of a new reality.
As spatial forms become transformed through diligent and critical practice, the viewer is left with a glimpse of the possibilities of our condition.

I really mean it.
