I’m so behind on posting, but here’s a portrait of @hockneyspool.bsky.social from a little while back. Quarter of a million circles on three sheets of A1 and two A2, drawn in red and black Bic Biro.

A new portrait of @thenakedbro3.bsky.social who posed a few weeks ago, composed entirely of short vertical lines drawn with a black Pilot rollerball pen. There’s a red layer beneath the black but the match is so close I may as well have not bothered.

Here's Kramer holding with one of my drawings of himself. I was lucky enough to meet him earlier this week when he was visiting from the US, so I brought along one of the pictures that he posed for remotely about three years ago. As is often the case it's drawn with two continuous lines on A1 paper.

A drawing of Kramer on A1 paper. This was done with two Bic Biros: one blue and one light blue, each tracing a single unbroken line through thousands of spirals across the page.

A portrait of Jonathan composed of (roughly) 60,000 vertical lines, each drawn using a blue Pilot rollerball pen on A2 paper. Jonathan posed remotely and as with most of my work the image data was all organised on a spreadsheet for processing rather than an image editing app. Close-up to follow...

A portrait of @thenakedbro3.bsky.social who posed remotely for me a couple of weeks ago. Drawn using two unbroken lines through thousands of spirals - one using a blue Bic Biro and one a black Bic Biro. I'll link a couple of detail shots.

Just delivered this one to the gallery. It's a space invader made using 168 British postage stamps (1st class for the dark background and 5p for the lighter areas). If you're close to Chelmsford, it'll be on sale at Artists at the Meadows from next week. Come and take a look.

It took a loooong time to sort and mount all of these tubes of paint. Happy with the result though. Technically my first artwork on oils.
