Original Art by Joe — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:17:19 +0000

Marlon Brando Art – Pencil Drawing Marlon Brando art appeared all over the internet in the early to mid-noughties. The worldwide web seemed to become awash with photoshopped Marlon Brando art, particularly Godfather based. Although I am a huge fan of genuine celebrity culture (classic, deserved talented people, not todays famous for being famous types), [...]

Marilyn Monroe Art – “No. 5″ Marilyn Monroe art in the form of graphite and charcoal on paper.“What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.” Marilyn is famously quoted as saying. Some of the quotes attributed to Marilyn are humorous and clever. A particular favourite of mine is “the nicest thing [...]

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:23:54 +0000

Male Drawings “Figuratively” Male drawings have been developing along with the other graphite and charcoal artwork which I have been creating recently. “Figuratively” was drawing in graphite and carbon and is the first artwork in quite a number of years to have the graphic edge which harks back to my past and my career in [...]

Male Figurative Art

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:50:21 +0000

Male Figurative Art – “Retrospective” Male figurative art and female figurative art have formed the main part of my recent development and experimentation in drawing. It is interesting to see the way that making different marks and appling graphite and charcoal in different ways completely alters the dynamic and atmosphere of a drawing. Creating a [...]

Life Drawing

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:27:45 +0000

Life Drawing Experiences Life drawing is a discipline which is invaluable for artists. I have found in the past seven years since turning pro that it is something that many artists, surprisingly, shy away from. I am guilty of this at times. Working on specific projects and the ease of using your own models together [...]

Debbie Harry Drawings

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:43:17 +0000

Debbie Harry Drawings – In The Flesh Debbie Harry drawings and paintings pop up un my folio of art peiodically. Why? Mainly because I love Debbie Harry and Blondie but I also find Debbie’s face completely mesmerising. I think, also that many of us remember they heyday of Blondie and there is always a nostalgia [...]

Surreal Drawing

Original Art by Joe — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 01:39:26 +0000

Surreal Drawing – Alice In Wonderland ? Surreal drawing has never really been my “thing”. When I was (much) younger, it was probably something that I was more into and impressed by but over the past few years my artwork has had a much more real and natural basis. This is not to say that [...]

Marilyn Monroe Art

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:43:24 +0000

Marilyn Monroe Art – “Pretty” Marilyn Monroe Art – “Pretty” came from reading Marilyn Monroe quotes, specifically:- “No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t” This is my version of the famous shot of a curvatious Marilyn [...]

Art Print Shop – Now Online Tonight I put the finishing touches to the new online Print and Drawing store which I have been working on. I was supposed to have been at the launch of the 28 Drawings Later exhibition but as I have (again!) been a bit under the weather I was disappointed [...]

Drawing The Female Subject

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:33:38 +0000

Female Artwork -”Jo” Drawing the female subject is of course different from painting the female subject. For this artist it is anyway. At the time of drawing this piece, I am hardly painting at all and I have been completely absorbed by drawing. Drawing the female subject has previously been quite a relaxed afair when [...]

Graphite Art – Demure Graphite art on paper. This pencil artwork is different in it’s composition from most other pencil drawings which I have created recently as it is constructed from multiple hatches on the paper. This process takes many hours to complete but I have become somewhat obsessed both by the process and seeing [...]

Pencil Drawings

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:05:29 +0000

This new male figurative pencil drawing proved quite a challenge. All about tone, this original art was based on an acrylic painting from a few years ago. It was interesting to see the image transferred to paper on pencil and also greatly reduced in scale.

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:23:13 +0000

Male Pencil Drawing

Original Art by Joe — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:02:12 +0000

Male Pencil Drawing Male pencil drawing has been part of a recent interest I have had in investigating graphite artwork. If you compare this male drawing with some recent female pencil work you will notice that I seem to attack the paper with bolder and more aggressive pencil strokes for the male pencil drawing. I [...]

Glasgow Cathedral Paintings, New Zealand

Original Art by Joe — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:32:34 +0000

Glasgow Cathedral Paintings Glasgow Cathedral paintings have been created by me on previous occasions. I first painted the Cathedral as it is a wonderful place to visit – I adore it. I have to say that Glasgow Council have done a good job of the whole Cathedral Square. It is steeped in atmosphere with the [...]

Painting Demonstration

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:18:51 +0000
