Contact by way of email only with a full brief and timeline. The Adobe Photoshop Suite is at my disposal, I can also fascilitate Full body Ink potraiture like my Scribblesesh series, and Paverpol Armature Scultpures.
Physical Inks and Digital Illustration are my primary routine having accrued over a decade of experience with both. They have come by way of necessity rather than decisive intent, all to facilitate a hybridised forkflow not unlike sculpting for the 2nd dimension. I like options, scalers, and experiementing with elements, akin to solving an engineering problem for the senses, all whilst adhereing to the compositional factors of design. While mathematics is not my strong suit, graphic story telling is. I also house a smaller collection of armature sculptures I developed around the notion of figures in movement. Giaccometti style pieces that served as the progenitor for experiementing with dynamic structures, posing, and rhythmic captures. That is, imagery which stores kinetic potential, and an infinite tension unable to be released. Like working digitally and having the means to forever adjust and modify work seamlessly – that delayed release of potential is both fortunate and decrepit.
I also offer a live worshop series titled: The Indomitable Stickman. Each course explores the theoretical and applied use of the Principles of Design, that one might learn to articulate their visual scaffolding before a single stroke is made. The best part, one need only draw stickmen. [1] The Architecture of Composition, and [2] Figures in Motion
