Gouache and acrylic on canvas.
What I like about this painting is that when people see it (it's currently up in my kitchen) they always have theories on what is going on in the painting. I have heard several and they were all pretty different.
Hey, have a theory? Email me: marmalade@toastmonster.com - the first person to have a theory closest to what I was thinking when I painted it gets a happy prize. And respect.

Acrylic and mixed media
This is a painting I did while at uni. It's based on a much earlier sketch from ages ago. The weird reflective material is wrapping paper- you can't really see it well enough but I worked into the paper using wax pastels.

Woo paper mache is great! This is just layers and layers of paper pulp.
Steve took this pic with some strong blue lighting but the thing itself is white.

Gouache on canvas
Hero is a bloomin brilliant film and its use of colour is just amazing. I wanted to do a painting with a limited palate, so it was a big source of inspiration. I know the face isn't quite right, but I had to stop because I was getting really fed up of re-doing it! I might come back to it later.
