Study of a girl playing a guitar. In order to produce this I had to make a number of important breakthroughs in the way I work and conceptualize things, and in the process, I had to learn how to draw all over again. The reason I had to relearn this basic skill was because I kept looking at drawings by Picasso and Braque, and I couldn't quite work out what made their lines so good, and so organic. After much frustration I finally cracked the puzzle, and that revelation is played out in the image before you. If you're wondering what that secret is all you need to do is look at the picture and ask yourself the following question. When does the line: split the canvas or exclude an area, enclose a volume or create a plane; stay two dimensional or become three dimensional; stay connected or break suddenly; remain solid or become broken; shade or obscure or both? There's a lot of ways to draw a line, and an infinite number of reasons why you should or shouldn't - we're not in Kansas anymore! Girl With Guitar Study has been featured in InFirnity Magazine, and has also been used to illustrate a story called 'The Years of the Tarantella' by Sarah Brooks, published in The Journal of Unlikely Entomology.

I'm largely a self-taught artist except for the one and half years I spent in art class in high school. I draw inspiration from the life around me, and other artists, such as Picasso, Georges-Braque, Turner, George Condo, Basquiat and the fantasy masters Frazetta and Boris, to name just a few. My work hovers in the analytical realms of perception and I'm always trying to envisage things in new and undiscovered ways. Hope you enjoy my gallery, and thank you for stopping by!
