Light on The Horizon

Light on The Horizon

I’ve been very inspired by On the Nature of Daylight, a piece of music by @maxrichtermusic a lot with these new paintings, they are in an Exhibition I currently have up as part of @artwavefestival here in my home town of Lewes, East Sussex.  Ive been wanting to create beacons, almost in an astral or cosmic sense, guiding lights out of or within the darkness that seems to be thrust upon us…

You can find me under my new banner I’ve painted for this years @bristoltattooconvention I was going to do a skull and my name but this is where I ended up. I have left time for a few small pieces over the weekend and will have line drawings of my flash with me. ♥️ I will also have a small selection of prints and merch with me. Thank you!

Some recent in progress photographs of Hilary’s leg. Thank you for your trust @h_evans and thank you everyone for taking a look and supporting my work. I’ve had a few conversations recently with folks who thought I’d cut back on my tattooing to focus more on art. I tattoo full time 5 days a week, I’m more inspired and focused than I’ve ever been to make tattoos, I just make art in every ounce of spare time I get. • Maybe I should post more tattoos? • Upcoming travel Bristol / July Austin TX / August NYC / August ROME / October (at Lewes, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfg8MXPsJjY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
