I painted what I thought was my best piece to date and had an amazing time doing it (big thanks to Adam koukoudakis for his help and patience). I’ve had a few people asking how I get to the final piece and what are my images based on so here’s a little peek. I spend a lot of time looking for images in old books, any kinds of magazines I can get my hands on and the internet. Luckily my girlfriend buys tat like Vogue and other glossy excuses to stop eating and hate yourself. So from them I found these pages…

Lovely lovely ladies.

Lovely lovely ladies.

Scan them in, lots of playing around in Adobe Photoshop, then into Adobe Illustrator for the final artworking, print them, cut them, spray them, get drunk. The print of this image has sold out at Pictures On Walls but they will be releasing a super limited hand finished edition that I’ll be painting very soon. With the power of my blog machine, I shall keep you posted with the progress.
