Today I have twitchy face. All night, my left cheek (on face) has been twitching, and it STILL is. I look like a gerbil.

Today Iโ€™ve added his cane, modified LAYLEE, and pushed back everything with a glaze layer of fog to balance it. So - next to add rockets, shadows and hint at the background detail! THEN - the FUN BEGINS and I can start refining whatโ€™s there and polishing it all up.

Want a print? I'm pricing up a limited run now. Comment if interested! Prints will be A2 size for you to frame, non fading lightfast ink on high quality art paper. Probably a very small run of 25 of each, depending on interest. Hand painted by ME, I will sign each one!

I fixed her! Following last weekโ€™s VARNISHING DISASTER! her face and hair went white, so I had to remove the varnish which also removed paint. But sheโ€™s all better now after receiving fresh make-up!

It's been a great week! I've been teaching students aged 12-18, how to create video game characters using clay with the Retromessa team. Scanning their original concepts to make 3D digital models, the importance of design and communication were all covered! They were then turned to GRAFFITI!

Welp, i usually keep this out of more public social networks, but since what i'm refering this with is more "public" so to say well XD
@kevbayliss.bsky.social I had an itch to do this after seeing the tweet, hope you like it Mr Bayliss XD

In Feb, Iโ€™m teaching young artists (12-18) 3D modelling using concept sheets, 3D scanning & CLAY! Theyโ€™ll learn how characters like DONKEY KONG are made, without software! All part of an education scheme to tackle bullying, mental health, violence & inspire new Game devs! #learn

I'll spend a week or two collecting orders, then ask the printing company to produce them based on that. I imagine they'll be ready and being shipped towards the end of Feb.
