These are more preparatory sketches to go with the builders and faces I was drawing a while back. I'm quite fond of my fishhead guys, but I'm looking forward to using all of these, including the office scene.

The Couple - Steampunk piece
This is my second piece for the ArtSHINE 'Draw Me A Calendar' competition, and the final version based on the sketches of the Victorian couple I posted last week.
I just want to say, I drew this before the new series of Doctor Who premiered, so any resemblance between the chair in the picture and certain pepper-pot shaped aliens is... well, it's not coicidental, is it? I've been a massive Whovian since I was a kid, so, yes I quite happily admit to being inspired by Terry Nation's designs.

The Couple - Victorian sketches
I like the sheer stiffness and awkwardness of Victorian photos. It actually sums up the inhumanity that seemed to characterise that period. They're actually quite a contrast to the expressive, flowing Art Nouveau images, but I've enjoyed using them to make my Steampunk / robot / Art Nouveau pieces.
This is the preparatory sketch for my other Draw Me A Calendar submission, to go with the Nina Simone one I already shared. Down the bottom is the original photograph. Such a happy couple.

Nina Simone Steampunk pieces
This is the first of my pieces for ArtSHINE's Draw Me A Calendar event. It's what my Niña Simone sketches were for, and, basically, I hope I've done her justice.

Nina Simone sketches
These are some sketches I did for a piece I've been working on. I really like how some of them came out, and frankly, I just love Nina Simone. I find it hard to imagine how you couldn't.
Here's the original images, and hell, a Nina Simone video for you (better than the original, IMO)!

Beginning some new stuff
These are sketches for something new I'll be working on, that should be in my next exhibition. There is a connection, or at least, I am intending to make one.
