I am a Scottish based Artist working primarily with photos. I often attempt to show the world how I felt in those exact moments when the original photo was taken.

I aim to keep the colour schemes in my art natural; believable. Sometimes though, I find it impossible to resist the lure of bold, striking combinations. I wrestled with the overbearing pink bar, yet it makes the whole scene pop so it stays😎

By pixelating photos and playing around with scale and shape I can alter the feel of my art. Here, I tried to capture the sense of going up town for a few drinks, the sun is settling making you feel like you've entered a movie scene😎

The basis of my work doesn't have to be on some cosmic level. Here, a few rain drops at sunrise was all it took to motivate me. Aside fae a little colour correction  and wee flourishes, its simplicity shines!

HNY a'body! Been slacking on posting lately so just going to group a few together, all influenced by exploring Edinburgh's Christmas at the Botanics. So no in depth explanations this time round. Just enjoy it folks, as I have!

I hope I've captured the spirit of it all😊

Some places are etched into history. Maybe a poem, a painting, even a famous person lived there? In the case of Loch Lomond, I'd wager a certain song about its beauty is the cause. It was hard to drag myself away, even with the pesky misty rain!

This, and a dram, Dec 25

There's an alluring hypnotism at play here, in what seems rather dull on initial approach. The patterns in the background, the welcoming orange notes amplify the relaxing tones of the scene, complimenting the architecture. Never overpowering it.

Even if a space I wish to capture is full of folk, there is a multitude of angles I can employ, so as to transport us to a calmer state of mind. Near the Dean Village, Edinburgh is one such area where I find peace even on its busiest of days 😊

Something a little different now. I wish I could show my work framed more often, as it adds a touch of class and perhaps a new perspective for the gaze. Entitled Ever Vigilant, my work is on show @ The Scottish Arts Club, Edinburgh 24 Rutland Sq. Preview tonight 6-8 Hope tae see you!

Edinburgh's skylines are up there with the most iconic. Seeing a stunning sunset/rise can reignite the life intae the weeriest of souls! I wished to tap into that sensation with this work. As if you could dive on in and float contently.

This is the second version of this work. The first is more subdued. I like to do more than one version instead of resorting to watermarks.I have proof it's my work and also have alternatives that can transform how the viewer interprets the art πŸ˜€ A glow inside us, Nov 25.

By having one thing be the sole focus of the work, I can find ways to compliment it. Be it intriguing shades of colour, or abstract shapes in which to elevate the scene. As with other artworks,  I paired a night scene with a day scene to make it pop😎

I went full tilt with the autumnal vibes here as I wanted maximum cozy feels. In order to get the effect of the scene having lit up windows I overlayed multiples of a fireworks night photo that I hope sells the illusion yet remains arty.

I like to imagine what fictional scenarios would appear as if set in other cities. So here we have a Bladerunner-esque Edinburgh. Bleak, yet with an understated style. I purposely muted the colour scheme for a truly dystopian feel.

It can be tricky to keep a minimal colour scheme captivating. So I employ tactical manipulation in my art so that the scene will maintain folks attention. The intention here was to make it seem like the viewer is walking the path for a closer look.

Style over substance can be a sugar rush, yet when you can achieve both, an artwork will stick in the mind far longer than a few likes ever could. Focusing on movement and stillness alike,both concepts compliment the other.
