Wow

I loved Halt and Catch Fire!

Acrylic on plywood: A4 size. Finally “finished” though I am not happy with the lighting, forms or the reflections. Leaving as-is as a reminder to do better reference and preparation. Nice to do something that isn’t a portrait or a landscape though. Good to get back into it after a 6 month pause.

Have an ULTRA Happy New Year!

I did this commission a couple of months ago. I can post it now that the subject has received it. 30x40cm acrylic on canvas board.

Sorry haven’t posted much. Have been on a city break to Glasgow to check out galleries and soak up a little Scottish history. I have a few weeks of gift painting to do then finish of the year getting back to Armalyte Ultra.

Not to worry though. Personal creative seismic shifts notwithstanding, I am back on Armalyte:Ultra design next month after I lost all heart following my mum’s passing around this time last year. And it’s shaping up to being rather special.

So, looks like this is what I’ll be spending most of my time doing now till I eventually kark it.

What’s nice is that after 35+ years of making “data” that other companies and individuals profit from, that I often did not get fair compensated for, I’ve started making one-of-a-kind *physical objects* that others may or may not cherish. Look at these little fellas: they’re someone’s *babies*

I got the painting bug, so made a few more:

Since the advent of the popular use of genAI and generally feeling “too old for this shit” I learned to paint earlier this year. Turned out working with wet media wasn’t as nasty as I thought. This was my first painting that ended up winning “best in show” at a local exhibition.

This place is filling up! Suppose I should start posting here eh? Have some art:
