I had a real desire to create a new strange #selfportrait today. I had the idea of some sort a mud image. I think this came because all I seem to do of late is get muddy #cycling or #running :) so I popped to #cannockchase in todays fowl weather and picked myself up a handful of the lovely stuff. Took a while to work out how to light it. Has a bit of a #jesuschrist vibe going on. Was not intentional. Could turn into a series of portaits ..... if anyone is mad enough to volunteer. #photo #photography #blackandwhite #portrait #strobist #lighting #nikon #studio #mud #monochromatic #monochrome #splittone

Bath time with Bear. All I'm doing of late is watching adventure films. Reading adventure books. Drinking tea from an adventure mug. Cycling. Running. Getting fit. It's great. :D #BearGrylls #adventure

This was also the front cover to #morpheusTales Christmas special magazine. Happy Christmas #illustration #gothic #christmascard #horror #cardmaking #craft #xmas #photooftheday

A design I was working on for a character called Sundarken when I was teaching #conceptart for computer games. Never did finish him. Was going to be for a side scrolling platformer I thought. #computergames #videogames #illustration #wip #doodle

My 8bit pixel art of #Bofur from the #hobbit made for a completion only to discover it was only open to US residents only. Still had fun making it #thehobbit #pixelart #art #illustration #lordoftherings
