Hi, thanks for the responses.

This work is for an online magainze called Volumen, which is steadily gaining a good following.

These pictures are a combination of painting, drawing, scanned textures and photographs, all heavily layered together in photoshop. I tend to describe them as paintings, because of all the individual disciplines I've worked at that's the one they feel closest to.

The main element that I spend longest on with all these images is the layering. Typically, they have around 100 layers, and the way they are put together is what I put the most effort into. The original paintings/drawings I do for pictures like this I tend to keep fairly loose, because I find it easier to work with something less exact than something overworked.

Easy girls, he's married

Both of these images are a combination of acrylic, acrylic ink, pastel, ink, biro, charcoal and probably a few other things that escape my mind at the moment. As you can see, they both look different than they do in the final pictures... I find photoshop gives me much more control in terms of colour/composition, and at the end of the day I'm more interested in the way the final image looks than the technical skill of any given discipline.

I'm currently looking in to the technicalities of getting my work printed on canvas, so if you're seriously interested in buying my work (little_tippler) pm me, or email me via my website.
