Billy Bibbit
Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
Max Taber
Next up is Max Taber, played by Christopher Lloyd. Probably the scariest of all the patients in the film, like an unexploded bomb. It was a no...
Randle McMurphy
Another big collection of marker portraits on the way. This time it's eight patients from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, one of the greatest...
The Studio

The Humber Bridge Under Three Different Skies
With one eye on my preferred Landscape Of The Year venue, today was a day to paint another bridge under three different skies. Unfortunately my...

Dynamic Light And Shade, Burne Hogarth – Book Review
This is a book that I've had my eye on for a while. I liked what I'd seen inside the book, including the comprehensive looking contents page. And...
Doctor Zachary Smith
Sometimes I receive messages and I just have to act on them. I had the telly to myself last night and managed to find a 1960 episode of The...
Billy The Kid
I felt like doing a portrait today. I've been doing a lot of landscapes in an attempt to impress LAOTY judges (newsflash: I've not made it to a pod...

I didn't waste any time sitting around thinking about doing a blue and orange painting and went straight into action this morning with another...
Queendown Warren In Three Complementary Colour Schemes
Not much time to paint again today but I do need to keep in practice. I decided to go for an experimental painting that wouldn't take much...

I only had the energy for a quick painting today, so went for an idea that's been kicking around for a few days. A line drawing using fineliners...

I can't do too many watercolours in a row without pining for a change of media so I was in the coloured pencils today, doing a portrait of Angel...
The Magic Of Queendown Warren
I wanted to have a go at a painting in the style of those in the Waltraud Nawratil book. I picked another of those views that I see in the North...
Damn You All To Hell!
Now this is a landscape that's been on my to do list for a while. It's the closing scene from the original Planet Of The Apes film back in...
