This piece is all about holding ourselves back. Often we confine ourselves in mental cages, not letting our true thoughts out or expressing what we want. The right side is plain, symbolising this confinement and lack of being unique, and gradually as she becomes more sure of herself her life is being filled with colour and originality. So basically don’t hold yourself back, be who you want to be. This is a real mixed media… acrylics, watercolours, watercolour pencils (without water), pastels, inks and pens! I really enjoyed doing this piece, despite the fact it was dragged out so long.

I have been sitting on this for a while now, it started off as a doodle that i quite liked, which i developed and eventually drew out, coloured and scanned. Then it sat on my desktop for about a month, occasionally when i had time i opened it up and did a bit of work on it… so i’m pleased to finally see it complete / Most of the time i spent working on it was masking out the original white background, so that all the edges were nice and crisp – i do tend to get pretty obsessive about my work sometimes has to be done nicely! (I’m some sure other artists are the same) Still i am pleased with how it has turned out! I fancied doing something a bit more stylised for a change, most of the work i have been doing recently has still been stylised, but not so much as this, it has lost a bit of that “cartoony” (for lack of a better word) look to it. I think the emotions behind this are fairly obvious, its more or less saying “I lost my appetite for life” as in getting fed up with your situation, waiting for a change and looking for something new. You know when you kinda get that Zombie-like feeling, not depressed but just miserable i guess, like your not properly awake? Yeah? Well thats the emotion behind this… ok so maybe not that clear! And the “so i sat and nibbled at myself instead” part is where you feel like something is eating away at you, and you can see if its yourself or not… oh dear, sorry thats a bit confusing! But i’m sure there will be someone who gets it/can relate to it! Like a lot of my work i guess its a bit autobiographical, sometimes i wish i could just speed up, stop or delete parts of life… just like Sky+ haha!

Our cat has stunningly beautiful, green eyes. I really wanted a shot that captured her eyes whilst portraying her character. This was taken during one of her chilled out moments (very rare as she is still quite young!) when she allows us to take her picture!
