Officer K
Ryan Gosling as Blade Runner 2049's Officer K.
Sat down for BR last Saturday. Bladder just about recovered—mind still blown. Great film.

Martin Landau Caricature
A half-sketch half-painting of recently departed Martin Landau, who I'm sure is contemplating the hideous flared slacks he had to wear in Space 1999. Sadly, I never owned a model Eagle Transporter...

Stephen Is Innocent!
Er, well, he's not, but the law is an ass. Today's absurd news made me want to caricature the great man Stephen Fry again.

Evelyn Waugh Revisited
I've recently been looking at some old work and noticed that in the past, when creating a digitally drawn caricature, I seemed to have used a lot more marks than I generally do now. Here's an old image from 2010 of Evelyn Waugh that shows a level of mark-making that I would now probably avoid; not because I don't like the look but that these days I'm liking trying to achieve the image I'm after with fewer (and more 'abstract') lines. Nothing's written in stone though and I'm sure this kind of approach will swing back round at some point...

Marcel Duchamp
Installation art; conceptual art; post-modern art; ready-mades: call it what you want, but I reckon it's all this guy's fault, gawd love him.

Samuel L Jackson (as Jules Winnfield)
Watched Pulp Fiction again recently for the first time since it came out and realised what great characters for caricature Jules and Vince were. Then realised I had never drawn either; so here's Samuel L Jackson as Jules. John Travolta as Vince to follow...at some point.

Dave Grohl: in colour
Had good fun doing this, though it's not best served by the final artwork being scanned rather than photographed (need a new camera as I can't get the focus to work properly). Next painting!
Tools: Markers, acrylics and pencils on A4 paper.

John Hurt: Stage 1
I called this post 'Stage 1' as I'd like to develop it at some point to a more involved piece but at present I'm not sure which way to go. Maybe a black and white hatched drawing or a highly rendered colour version—not sure. Going to sit on it for now...

Adam Driver
I dunno why, but I just find things going in one ear and out the other
inherently funny. Anyway, thought I'd kick off the new year with a face
tug of Force Awakens' badass, Adam Driver. Not unusual for me to be one film
behind the times...
Best wishes for 2017, everyone...
