Looks like I’m safe to post this now as it was a private commission for an anniversary. Thanks to Jade - @lepotts_soaps for the commission and hope you have a fantastic anniversary. Featured are Jade and Matthew. www.meroedraws.com #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #privatecommission #portraits #portraiture #anniversary #privatecommission https://www.instagram.com/p/Copj3ElsKGE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some life drawing tonight. I’m rusty but was pleasantly surprised with how well this was received. Used some Japanese brush pens and went with a complementary colour scheme. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #freehand #inkonpaper #penandink #lifedrawing #observation (at Rochester, Medway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoGLPOosMf1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2022! It was a bit of a last minute decision to put this together, but I had so much fun doing the layout using real toys that I couldn’t stop myself. As I’m currently in Hokkaido, Japan I’ve wasted plenty of money on Gatcha-Pon, really high quality capsule toys, and assembled an excellent set of Sega miniatures - so I set up this scene also containing a ‘King Frog’ Gatcha-pon that I got this week. It’s been a really challenging year, but I’m looking forward to celebrating NYE in Japan with friends and family. #japan #hokkaido #sega #segaminiatures #gatcha #gatchapon #illustration #freehand #penandink #segamegadrive #segamini #christmas2022 #nye2022 (at Kitahiroshima-shi, Hokkaido, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmvgDnMSYW2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I’m still at it, still here - just had a fairly full on few months. I have a massive piece of new work to show - will be utilising it shortly for my next dry January. Anyway, here’s a portrait in progress of the family cat. I’m sick of thinking conceptually and just wanted to draw something in front of me. I’m in Japan at the moment and seem to have that ‘super-cold’ that’s savaging the UK right now. It migrated with me, which is annoying. Luckily I’m in the freezing temperatures of Hokkaido so don’t feel I’m missing much by being ill/housebound at the moment. #meroedraws #illustration #inkonpaper #hokkaido #japan #cat #catsofinstagram (at Kitahiroshima-shi, Hokkaido, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmd43BdPdVS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - Larger pieces ‘Klarke and Sanny’. Thanks to Klarke who donated to my King’s College fundraiser back in January. Klarke is my oldest friend so I’d offered to do him something as a wedding gift quite a few years ago. The dry January this year timed up well and he requested this. www.meroedraws.com #klarkeandsanny #illustration #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #digital portrait #artforcharity #artfordonations #dryjanuary22 #kingscollegefundraiser https://www.instagram.com/p/CiHWrLpMsdP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I was looking back at my portrait of Knuckles the Echnidna by the late, great Nigel Dobbyn the other day. I’d like to give it a new frame. He drew this for me in 2004/05 when he very kindly met me in Durham for an interview for my A-level graphic design essay. Nigel worked on the British Sonic the Comic for many years, along with a range other fantastic publications like 2000 AD. A wonderful man who sadly passed far too soon. #nigeldobbyn #nigeldobbyart #sonicthecomic #fleetwaysonic #knuckles #knucklestheechidna #sonicthehedgehog #britishsoniccomics #2000ad #judgedredd #illustrator #comicbookartist #graphicnovelist #illustration #sega https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxKKFqMIch/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - Larger piece. Thanks to @sam.double.u_ for donating to my dry January fundraiser for Kings College hospital at the start of the year. As he already has a fairly significant amount of my work I decided to do portraits of his parents with a post industrial backdrop. Please to hear they’ll be hanging 2 prints of it in their home. www.meroedraws.con #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #portraits #dryjanuary22 #freehand #largecommission #artforcharity #artfordonations (at London Borough of Ealing) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnNf9vLni1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - Postcard 16. Thanks to Kamal who donated to my Kings College fundraiser back in January. He requested 2 cards so here’s the first - I worked from a photo from one of his recent holidays. www.meroedraws.com #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #artforcharity #artfordonations #dryjanuary22 #holidayscene #postcard https://www.instagram.com/p/ChkRqNZL7ze/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - Postcard 15. Thanks to Sandra who donated to my Kings College Fundraiser back in January. Her theme request was ‘gothic Disney princesses’. Admittedly not my usual area but quite pleased with the results. I went with Merida, Snow White and Rapunzel. I’m really not a Disney fan but I had a lot of fun playing with the character changes. www.meroedraws.com #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #disney #disneyprincesses #illustration #postcard #goths #gothic #dryjanuary22 #fundraiser #artfordonations #artforcharity https://www.instagram.com/p/ChfQqIKMkR1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - postcard 14. Went quiet for a bit as I’ve been trying to finish off the final set of these. Almost at the end. Thanks to Katrina @katrinaalloway1 for donating to my Kings College Hospital fundraiser back in January. Katrina requested a small portrait of her nephew. www.meroedraws.com #inkonpaper #penandink #freehand #portrait #dryjanuary22 #artforcharity #artfordonations #postcard https://www.instagram.com/p/ChcfNvxsxXU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some close ups of the map and different locations including Maggie’s and the Sparrow, both in Lewisham town centre. Available now to pick up free at The Migration Museum @migrationmuseumuk. I had a lot of fun drawing the different locations and business owners and then playing with the placements on the overall map. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #map #migrationmuseum #lewisham #freehand #digital #penandink #southeastlondon (at Migration Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgonUbhsW8T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Incredibly excited to reveal that earlier this year I worked on a map of migrant businesses in Lewisham town centre for the @migrationmuseumuk, and it is now available for free to go alongside their current exhibition ‘Taking Care of Business’. I illustrated and designed the map, featured businesses and typography. The full map has been printed and cleverly formatted by the museum to fold up into a more portable size. The current exhibition ‘Taking Care of Business’ explores the history of business in Lewisham and how migration has been a vital component of how it has evolved. www.meroedraws.com #migrationmuseum #lewisham #localbusiness #map #inkonpaper #penandink #commission #design #illustration (at Migration Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZ1_CPMduZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - Larger Pieces. ‘Mother’. My mam donated to my Kings College Fundraiser back in January along with all my previous fundraisers. I’ve agonised over this for about a month. Not that happy with the likeness but pleased with the overall composition. I’ve been meaning to do a portrait of my mam for a few years now. My mam has had a complex life, with some quite significant trauma. She is patient and nurturing, and I have tried to emphasis this across the image. She became Buddhist in middle age, so I used the repeating ‘endless knot’ in the background. A keen gardener, she maintains several plots at home, each representing loved ones. The 3 coloured flowers represent each of her sons. The image measures 25 X 25 cm, consistent with vinyl packaging, as she is a keen music enthusiast. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #dryjanuary #fundraiser #artfordonations #freehand #inkonpaper #penandink #portrait #mother #endlessknot #growth https://www.instagram.com/p/CfobBlwMtOY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Last one from the archives. A Korean pork restaurant - 2011. It took me a while to get around the fact that you often have to go to restaurants based on the variety of meat on offer in Korea - but was very happy when I was introduced to Sangyupsal. I ate a lot of Sangyupsal when I lived in Korea. Not sure why I chose to do a study of this at the time, but I’m still quite happy with the lettering. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #inkonpaper #freehand #architecture #streetscene #korea #masan #gyeongsangnamdo #southkorea #porkrestaurant #handlettering #penandink https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfl7-6gMin0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Again, it’s strange seeing old work with fresh eyes. As our flat in London is small I’ve stored the bulk of my work and valuables (art books mainly) in air tight boxes in my parents’ garage and periodically review to see if it’s time to part with anything. The second reel image (I think) is from 2011, a view of the busiest road where I lived in Masan, Gyeongsangnam-Do, South Korea for 2 years. I think it’s aged pretty well. The scale is decent leading into the background. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #penandink #masan #freehand #gyeongsangnamdo #southkorea #2011 #streetscenes #inkonpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CfjFiryMfdo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dug up some old work stored at my parent’s house in Northumberland. 2014? An illustration of the cat statue outside of Bar Fujita @fujita_norihisa - my go to when I still lived there. Think this has aged pretty well. www.meroedraws.com #sapporo #oldwork #susukino #illustration #goodluckcat #catstatue #barfujita #japan #hokkaido (at Susukino) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfhPBeBLj6R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dry January - larger pieces Finally working on the larger pieces for my dry January fundraiser.
