Guy on my train just now was dressed as Gandalf the Grey, the ticket inspector on the platform greeted him with a cheery "Ho! Jesus!". He should have turned him into a toad. 😂🤦🏻 #LordOfTheRings #Glasgow

I found this simple, small artwork on a brick wall down rainy Ashton Lane in the west end of Glasgow yesterday and it just tugged at my heartstrings, something about the solemn expression spoke to me. #photography #StreetArt

Only nine copies left folks, so if you would like one, please get in touch. Thanks to everyone who has bought a copy so far, I hope they all reach you safely and that you enjoy the photographs.

Now that the nights are drawing in, I think I might revive an old project that began during the pandemic.
When I was working nights from home, I began taking long, rambling walks around the area where I live to de-stress before trying to sleep.
Using only my mobile phone, I started recording scenes that caught my eye, and the Night Walks In Suburbia project was born.

Here's my full Seasons collection of abstract acrylic paintings, starting with Spring, ending with Winter. I have enjoyed this first foray into painting.

Sadly, they don't yet have any recordings, although they are keen to produce something.

Spring and Summer

These acrylics complete my seasons set. These were created using a gelli plate to build layers, with manual additions using scrunched-up tinfoil and an old bank card.
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to painting (so please be gentle!) but I'm enjoying the learning and experimentation process.
