Kaunos, Dalyan ,Turkey. A quick watercolour sketch I did while in Turkey. The paper was a bit thin, but it was so hot the paint hardly had a chance to soak in anyway! Water-color, 22x22cm

A servant of Dagon hauled up from the depths of the ocean. Inspired by a vintage 19th Century postcard from Mevagissey, cornwall. I kept to the original sepia tones, only adding violent colours for Cthulhu’s spawn. Acrylic on Canvas. 40x70cm

Bytes Degenerating. A jarring tension between ancient aesthetics and modern technology. The Koy Pond is tranquility while the image artefacts remind the viewer of the layer of technology that increasingly separates us from peace. Overall I am attempting a pleasing composition, inserting  tension  to create interest but hopefully not enough to become ugly.
