STILL, LIFE?

on By

Ever have that feeling when you hate literally everything you do? I haven’t been particularly friendly with my art practice of late and gave myself a challenge to do something completely different to what I usually do. An impressionist still life of flowers let me explore a different medium and subject and I’m quite happy with the result. It was also quite therapeutic – the thick, execution of paint, and the relaxed but focused gaze upon the poetic arrangement of my favourite flowers. I might try a few more.

GOOD EXPOSURE

on By

Starting a brand new mixed media, portrait series exploring women exposed, open to violation yet poised to devour. I love reworking the sensual into the cold and sexualised figures discovered in Tumblr porn searches. Breathing a new life into these bodies.

THE LADIES NETWORK

on By

So pumped to be a part of the next epic exhibition hosted by The Ladies Network. The night will be made up of a bunch of amazingly talented females showing off their creative wiles. I’ll have a nice little stash of framed originals for anyone who is keen to come check me out. The opening night is Friday 13th November, from 6pm at Ambush Gallery in Central Park. Girl Power.

JIMMY DEAN

on By

Today for my #facemyfeels challenge I did a quick sketch of James Dean. What a dreamboat. Am enjoying the portrait style and keen to try some larger scale portraits out in the same vibe. If you’re interested in purchasing this picture, it’s A4 size. Make me an offer.

FACE MY FEELS

on By

This month I’ve given myself the challenge of a new portrait every day. I’m calling it #facemyfeels, as I attempt to explore and represent different faces that inspire, encourage, and astound me. My project is already underway on Instagram and you can follow me @ashking, or search my hashtag #facemyfeels to see the portraits so far. Here’s one of my faves of my spunky man, in pen.

SO FRENCHIE, SO CHIC

Just got some brand new business cards printed with my chic models, Banksie the Boston Terrier, & Pip the French Bulldog. As you can see, Pip was thrilled to have something to hand out at dinner parties. Check out some of my other portraits here, and be sure to get in touch if you have a pet that needs immortalising.
