I drew this a couple of years ago after watching the intense Possession, 1981. Isabelle Adjani is particularly deranged in this, and lots of current actresses have name checked this performance, though I prefer the more subtle madness she exudes in L’Histoire d’Adele H, 1975. #drawing

Every time I start a new picture I intend to just draw a few lines and give space for something more experimental but at the moment I’m just really loving drawing at this scale so I get immersed in the process of measuring and and just ing, detail and tone. #drawing #portrait #workinprogress

Hey @stuhennigan.bsky.social just reading the @minorliteratures.bsky.social int. Great read. You describe addiction as being a character & I was suddenly reminded of Mark Lanegan’s autobiography, Sing Backwards and Weep, have you read it? Not normally one for rock bios but that is something else.

Just protect trans people.

Every person who has been "just asking questions" about trans people in sports or bathrooms is contributing to this artificially manufactured genocide

A 1 hour (or so) pencil study.

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

The New Normal This week I have been feeling bit overwhelmed. It's been largely the result of good things piling up, but its all new and unfamiliar and for a bit I've been feeling very distracted by it all and wondering if I've made the right decisions, and looking forward to things quieting down.

Haven’t done a proper self portrait in years. #studioselfie

I made a showreel of my paintings, takes look and hope you like them x
