Its really odd cos I almost never submitted this design yet it turns out to be the most viewed design I have due to getting placed in the featured section of this site. Next best thing would be someone buying a shirt of this design… ;-)

Oil painting portrait of Greek Barber. 100cm x 100cm This was painted while I was living on the Greek Island of Serifos. / He was the Barber and you can see his ‘shop’ reflected in his glasses.

Some Claim that Sweeney Todd was a real person, others call his story an urban legend. He was the demon barber who murdered his wealthy customers by slitting their throats while in his barber revolving chair, that makes them fall into the basement with their necks or skulls broken. Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime bakes the victims’ flesh into meat pies and sells them to other unsuspecting customers. / Sweeney Todd first appeared in a story entitled The String of Pearls, published in eighteen weekly parts, in Edward Lloyd’s The People’s Periodical and Family Library, issues 7-24, 21 November 1846 to 20 March 1847. In Stephen Sondheim’s 1979 stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, based on the 1973 play of the same name by Christopher Bond, Todd is reinvented as a tragic character driven by revenge rather than greed and whose real name is Benjamin Barker. Highly recommended the 1936 film version of the Victorian melodrama starring Tod Slaughter as Sweeney Todd and Stella Rho as Mrs. “Lovatt” and also the 1979 acclaimed musical adaptation of Bond’s play by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler starring George Hearn as Sweeney Todd/Benjamin Barker and Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett. / And of course there is the Burton version! / Inks, Pencils & Markers / ZOMBIE
Prisma colored pencils, added some computer color to help darken. / RazorFish Bert gives his pal Bobby the Catfish a trim
I was downtown Worthington Ohio this afternoon in a very old part of town, I spotted a barber shop and went in and asked if they minded me taking a couple of shots, they agreed that was absolutely fine and invited me in, this was the result..the guys were great sports.. /

We wander`d to the Pine Forest / That skirts the Ocean`s foam; / The lightest wind was in its nest, / The tempest in its home. / The whispering waves were half asleep, / The clouds were gone to play, / And on the bosom of the deep / The smile of Heaven lay; / It seem`d as if the hour were one / Sent from beyond the skies / Which scatter`d from above the sun / A light of Paradise! Words by Percy Bysshe Shelley Painting using acrylics, inks, gold and silver leaf / 102×102 cm This painting is dedicated to Percy Bysshe Shelley who harmonies with the hues beneath the water. Samuel Barber composed music based on Shelley’s poems – Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory. / Percy Bysshe Shelley 18th December 2008

We were on our way out to Stoke Poges the other day and on the way we stopped off to see the horses in a field. This one seemed to be saying something to us and Lee Martin, who just happens to speak horse told us what he was saying. (Is there anything this hairless guy can’t do? LOL) HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny.” LEE – “He say I ain’t getting on no plane fool.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say why am I talking like that?” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say Tony takes better photo’s than I do.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And so does Tina and even Jackie” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And most of the people on Red Bubble” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “Shut up horse, what do you know anyway?” HORSE – “Plenty now get your hairless head out of my field.” LEE as he climbs over the gate – “I don’t know what the world is coming to these days there is no conversation anymore” LOL Sorry guys, I got carried away, again. The horse was actually warning either us or the other horses in the field not to get too close to his mate and young foal. I hope you like it and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.

This small town barber shop has been in existence for almost sixty years; my father, 84 years young, is still at the helm, taking care of his clientele who prefer Daddy’s skills (and conversation) to the modern day, slick salons and spas. Here’s the old pro giving a trim to his great-grandson who was in town for the holidays. Visiting Daddy’s barbershop is like a step back in time; it may not be full of fancy products or have fashionable decor, but it’s got character and the old gents who congregate there have interesting stories to tell and rich, abundant lives to share. I feel much more at home there than in the sleek salons.
Some of you may have seen an earlier post of my 84 year old father cutting my 5 year old grandson’s hair. Sandy Stewart gave me the idea to add this image (a different shot) in sepia tones. I also added the diffuse glow filter to give the image a “look back in time” feel to it. Thanks, Sandy, for your suggestion; it was a good one! My father, a WWII veteran who survived the sinking of the Yorktown in the South Pacific, has been cutting hair since post war days. He has a collection of sweet potato labels which are scattered throughout his shop and a ton of other memorabilia on the walls. If you View Larger, you’ll see to Daddy’s left a photo of him cutting my son’s hair. My son, who is now 33 years old, was probably about the same age as my grandson in that picture. When Daddy showed my son the finished haircut by producing a little hand held mirror, Tom always put his hands over his eyes. He was too shy to see his cute little self up close like that! I love the way the generations are documented here and the way Paw Paw Taylor, as my son and grandson call him, is shown still working and still enjoying it in his golden years of life. Hope you like this image, “The way it was and still is . . .” Another view: /
Trying to make a simple design pointing to the 4 main elements of hip hop. If it was not for hip hop, id never have done graffiti. If I didn’t enjoy graffiti so much I doubt id be doing design today. / But I dont care much for most hip hop these days….but pay respect to the 80s stuff always cos it meant so much to me.
Just a trim today thank you Mr Todd.
