Description
He didn't have a best friend for a long time, perhaps decades, and then 3 came along at once - and since then things have never really been the same for Barry.It's about alternative transport ideas for chasing storms within the parameters of metropolitan areas.
Acrylic on canvas
16" x 20"
This was a design for someone who suddenly cut off communication and vanished off the surface of the earth. Alas, nothing has become of it i'm afraid.
Ps. I love the sound of storms, and If anyone has any good quality recordings of the sounds of a rainstorm and thunder and stuff that they wouldn't mind sending me, or knows where to get them - then i'd love you more than I could ever explain!
Hope you like it!

I'm always impressed, Think your amazing! Love looking at my cloud 9 chick! Your work is so cool!!!!
I like how the pink looks like it has been scratched away on the face, but hasn't dulled the colour.

Tell me about it - my last best friend (who happened to be a postman) locked me in a postbox and made me growl whenever people put post in for 2 days otherwise he said that he would amputate the leg of my pet cat.

Sorry this has taken me so long to reply, errmm.. i'm not sure what you mean about smelling like liquid paper? but the paintpens that I use normally are called 'osca' markers, i also sometimes use '
osterman' markers, these seem the easiest to get in the UK.. hope this helps!

Acrylics and inks, but you gotta be careful not to let them lose those vibrant colours when you scan them in by using the settings on the scanner/photoshop - cos otherwise they can sometimes come out looking a bit dulled down..

Thanks for the info , seems as though you don't have a problem with scanning your pieces
. Your stuff is so vibrant, sometimes I think they're photoshop pieces or something and I'm like "wow." Then I realize it's traditional stuff and I'm like "DAYYYYUM", haha.
