Screaming Heart...


Screaming Heart; Depicting how a heart cannot be tamed, despite what it is screaming for, love, hate, sadness, happiness, you cannot forcibly try and hold together a screaming heart. The severity of the veins and darkness of the picture is a representation of what can happen if you do try to tame a screaming heart, a rupture. 

Seven Deadly Sins...

'Seven Deadly Sins'.... I chose children's cartoon characters as these are figures looked up to by young generations and seen to be innocent within society, yet it is clear by their characterisation each hold one of the seven deadly sins, clarifying  that there is no such thing as perfection...

Winnie The Pooh as Gluttony (Orange)

Primrose...


‘Primrose’ is a landscape painting of a view from London’s infamous Primrose Hill. Done using oils, I was inspired to paint this after spending the day in London with my best friend. 

Bluebells...


After a day in Bluebell fields, I had the urge to draw one.

Rose...


A Sketch of a Rose from my garden.

Sketching Eyes...



Having fun with sketching different eyes and their expressions. 

Love Compatability...


In the picture of this couple I wanted to show that love compatibility comes along with molding around each other, keeping strong and slotting together, despite your differences.

Memories Of San Francisco...


‘Memories of San Francisco’.. I painted this on return from a trip to the States. 

Blank Face...


‘Blank Face’... Painted with oils, I was inspired simply by an old woman at a bus stop, and the vacant yet lonely expression she had whilst standing in the rain, I wondered what was on her mind.

Angry Gorilla...


Simply a portrait of an angry gorilla, using acrylic paint, experimenting with my own style...

'Can' You Help?


‘'Can' You Help?’, yes an intentional pun on words. The coca cola can in the middle of a blue background is representation of all the rubbish that we knowingly throw into the oceans every day, I chose a can to fit into the title, because if each of us were more educated about our rubbish, every little would help. 

Fisherman At Sea...


My own interpretation of  'Fishermen at Sea' whilst studying Romanticism in GCSE Art, exhibited in 1796 by Joseph Mallord William Turner. 

Caged By Addiction...


‘‘Caged by Addiction’’, a segment within my GCSE project ‘Caged’.  For this piece I built a background based on foil, black tissue, wet white tissue  that I sprayed with aerosol to keep its half transparency...  Next I created a look-a-like substance of the drug heroin from a crushed pastel which I then dampened and glued on top of the background.
. I completed the piece with a sprayed piece of grey cardboard, for the tool of ‘cutting’ the drug, and a broken pen for ‘snorting’.
 

Caged World...

‘‘Caged World’’, my final piece from my GCSE project ‘Caged’... A globe with in a cage surrounded by all of the man made disasters and intolerance of the world, symbolising the ignorance of our own power has done nothing, and will do nothing, but cage us. Proving ignorance is ‘not’ bliss. 

Where It All Began...

This is where it all began; it was my original drawing of this that gained me an Art Scholarship for my secondary school Education... My brother went onto have a tattoo of this said drawing.
