Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
Portraits
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...
13 September 1999
After yesterday's news that I won't be wildcarding it at LAOTY and the arrival of two new Artgraf colours, today was always going to be an Artgraf...
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...
When I’m Paid I Always See The job Through
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...
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin
There was a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big, he was strong, in his eyes a flaming glow. Most people looked at him with terror and with...
The Earps
After discovering Friday's disaster I wanted to come up with a proper painting of The Earps as quickly as possible. This was finished ar about...
Three Famous Gunslingers
<Edit: The day after I painted and posted this one I found that I'd screwed up. The guy on the right is Frank James, not Virgil Earp. That...
Alan Shearer
Lots of stuff going on at the moment so I thought I'd be better off just going for a quick inktense pencil painting today and give the sepia...
Ally MacLeod
A grim day today with a power cut in the morning and then no WiFi when the power came back on so I'm grabbing a sneaky coffee in Costa while I...
Purdey
I wanted to give some of my new inktense pencils a runout, so that's what I'm going today. And with three of those new colours being fleshy...
The Persuaders! Collection
And here they are together, The Persuaders! Lord Brett Sinclair works better as one of a pair than he did on his own. What I find fascinating...
Lord Brett Sinclair
And here's my second marker portrait of the day, Lord Brett Sinclair played by Sir Roger Moore. Just like Danny Wilde, he's in monotone greys but...
Danny Wilde
I didn't know what I wanted to do today so asked my iPad for ideas. It suggested that I do a portrait using markers. If I do a portrait with the...
Joe Walsh
Today's painting is a portrait of Joe Walsh of The Eagles, someone who in his heyday was probably even more fun at parties than Frank Bough....
Frank Bough
Of all the celebrities ever to have been disgraced after being caught in a tabloid sting, Frank Bough is the most likely to raise a smile and the...
Brian Clough’s Finger
I thought I'd have a go at painting Brian Clough today. It was always going to happen at some point. I had a choice between source photos and...
A Clockwork Orange
Another watercolour today. This is based on a publicity shot for A Clockwork Orange, a famous 1971 Stanley Kubrick film. With the white face and...
