Pot à pharmacie



My apothecary jar arrived and I was finally able to put in by bird, butterfly and flowers from V V Rouleaux haberdashery Marylebone, London. I wanted to include a piece of curly willow, but ended up going with old paint brushes instead...much more fun. It really matches my Peynet print behind it too!

Snow in August







Spent an exciting week in Paris with friends who took me on the set of 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret'. I loved the fake snow, it looked perfect! Also found some time to do some sketches at Pere Lachaise cemetery.

Book cover design - old school


I've done a lot of editorial work in the past, but usually I use a 3d software + photoshop + illustrator to whip up final digital artwork. For this book cover I decided to go old school and paint a little sketch then go from there. The above photo shows my initial sketch, below are my proposed book covers.

Last Chance - Lucian Freud 'L'Atelier'



Its the last weekend to visit the Centre Pompidou to see the Lucian Freud 'L'ATELIER' exhibition. Below is a summary taken from the Centre Pompidou website.
Lucian Freud, today aged 88, stands among the most important living artists in the world and he hasn't been exhibited in France since the last retrospective exhibition presented by the Centre Pompidou in 1987. This exhibition presents an exceptional overview of his masterpieces and pays an unprecedented tribute to one of the greatest contemporary painters.
