Outside The Mass

Portrait of Diane Morgan as Mandy

'MANDY' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on paper

Diane Morgan is such an outstanding physical comedian, I swear. Wanted more portrait practice, so decided to portray Diane as the titular Mandy!

'Blooming' card ver.
I decided to translate this piece into lino print format, transforming it into a greetings card...
Could be coming soon to my Ko-Fi shop, if there is any demand? Let me know!

'Metamorphosis' 2025
Referencing @gianorso.bsky.social's photo of @scruffystocky.bsky.social.

This piece underwent a metamorphosis of its own, so many blocks occurred, but I adapted and was able to complete it!

A man stood in an alley in the city, nude, holding flowers. A wall separates him and a lady, who is looking the other way. Figures fill the background, none seem to notice him.

'Alone in the City' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on paper (25 x 23")

Aaaaand, it's complete! I love this piece so much, it marks a shift in the way I can approach queer themes in my conceptual work.

A portrait practice #WIP of one of a comedic icon's characters... Can you guess who this is yet, or do I need to step up my portraiture skills?

If I was to offer more commission options, what would people be interested in? I plan to offer surreal portraits and possibly something life drawing related? I'm new to this, so help an artist out, and lmk what works!

Window mural at a gallery setting

A view of all of the 3 gallery windows, all with window art on them.

My window mural 'Wisps' is now complete (for now), and can be seen @Shambles Fine Art!

I plan on changing elements of it as we get deeper into the winter months...

#WindowMural #Mural #StreetArt #Painting #QueerArt #Myth #Gallery #FineArt #TraditionalArt #LiveArt

Thank you for taking the time to say that. It is a beautiful sentiment- art really is about that feeling underneath it all, the visuals themselves come second. ✨

Manic illustration of a hollow man

'Hollowed' 2025
Created in the midst of a bout of creative frustration at the state of Art right now. Hollowed is an experimental piece not concerned with anatomy or composition, but with raw feeling.

'Metamorphosis' Progress #2
The #WIP can be seen on the left, the right is actually a scrapped version of this piece...

Thought it was important to show this, because art is not often not linear. Artists aren't machines after all!

2 portraits cut up collaged together on a piece of board.

Mash up of 2 portraits, collaged together

'Revolve: Timelines' 2025
A mash together of my past and current self, to create an amalgamation worthy of the future...

Definitely more experimental than I'm used to, maybe collage could play a bigger role in my work?

'Metamorphosis'
Progress of a piece inspired by one of @gianorso.bsky.social 's stunning fine art photos. I'm just having fun with it, let's see where it goes! I'm keeping with the surreal flower theme for now...

Window mural of two wisp/wind inspired women facing each other, painted in a blocky lino print style.

The same mural with the lights on inside.

The original stencils tacked onto the window, and the lino print I was inspired by.

'Wisps' Window Mural @Shambles Fine Art..

Almost complete, but needs a little cleanup, and a few extra elements to it.

And can we talk about how hard it is to photograph a window?!

FINAL DAY @Weavers Gallery, Ledbury today. After 4pm, 'This, is Real Art' officially ends! If you are in the Midlands, come and have a gander before it's all gone!

If you did go, what was your verdict?

Commission options coming soon to my Ko-Fi...

One option being a quicker live drawing style of portrait, like these I created of artists during Open Studios!

Getting a stencil ready to paint a window mural tomorrow...

I'm basing it on a lino-cut print I completed earlier in the week, something fantasy/myth inspired. A great fit for spooky season!

Woman pulling something invisible down

A woman has wrapped string around her hands, and is using the grip to pull something invisible down.

'TEAR IT DOWN' 2025
Framed watercolour & pencil on Fabriano.

A piece to make a statement.

Thank you so much! And that is so true, it is so important for self growth and understanding to portray yourself through your craft!

Painting and drawing on wood of a side profile of a face.

'Self/Blue' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on wood

Call me a narcissist, but I do use myself as a model a lot in my art, I am free to hire after all.

But really, I think all artists should explore their own form sometimes.

'Art Coasters', Originals on 10 x 10 cm of wood.

Both sets are at the exhibition, I wanted them to mirror the themes on a bite size level.
Need to make more for sure, planning on making them available online too, if there is demand!

Thank you so much! ✨

I cannot believe it, but somebody liked this piece enough to purchase it! I'm completely stunned, but overjoyed at the same time.

It seems silly, but I'm new to this, and validation that my queer focused work can actually resonate with others on a deeper level is vital.

'This is Real Art' 2025
Set up was a success, here is most of my section! While public reaction has been mixed (go figure) I am proud to see all of this work together, because of what it represents on a personal level.
