Surph Beasts ipad paintings

Here’s the recent creations I made using the ipad, Brushes app and a Griffin stylus. Been trying to come up with a way of incorporating characters (and beasts) into my landscape pieces and think I have found a route with these babies. Surph’s up!

Check out my set of images in flickr for some more ipad paintings

Nemesis the Warlock x Me!

Massive dream come true this one. If I’d have known this as a kid reading 2000AD I would’ve died!

Sneak peeks at the 2 Nemesis figures I’ve designed for the wonderful Togetherplus! Will post more about this as it’s just had it’s first showing at the toy fair.

Deep bow to all involved and BIG shout out to Mr Pat Mills and all 2000AD peeps!

Ipad paintings

Finally got around to buying a decent painting app on my ipad as previously messed about with simple iphone painting apps but didn’t light my fire until recently. I’ve been using Brushes on an ipad2 with a Griffin stylus and it’s lots and lots of fun. Once you get used to the controls you can create really quickly and work within it’s initial limitations. I’d like to try out some different apps just to get a taste of what you can do as I’ve seen some incredibly impressive work created on ipads.

I’d really recommend exploring this more if you own an ipad.

Anyway, here’s a link to the batch that I’ve been creating over the last few days and a few pics below.

Enormous thanks to the amazing David Cranmer for delivering big time on the Van Orlax custom synth! We hatched the plan some time ago and so happy with the results, it looks fantastic and sounds truly wigged and wonderful!

It’d be great to add this to a show or event and will be announcing anything planned as soon as it comes up. I’ll hand you over to David’s site to let him explain it a little further. Take a bit of time to check out his other incredible creations on his homepage.

Getting To Kernow You exhibition 29th Sept

pete — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 11:24:27 +0000

Happy to announce my first solo exhibition for some time. I’ve recently rediscovered painting landscapes, not that they aren’t present in so many of my work but this time I’ve turned the spotlight directly on the landscape. In particular, the Cornish coastline. Silas UK were kind enough to offer me some space on the walls of their London shop after seeing some of the pieces so I’ve turned them into a show. Along with a little something I bought from a car boot sale and have ‘modified’. That’s a bit of a surprise for the night, but just a small one.

This will be the official re opening of the shop as well so really looking forward to the evening.

The show starts on the 29th September at Silas Uk and runs until the 27th October.
