Fin DAC

The latest sketchbook piece and a return to an image most of u won’t know.
-
It was only ever painted on canvas as part of a fundraising scheme for art education for kids in Madagascar.
-
The image was a precursor to Vergiss: another more famous image of mine.
-
Using the same model, choosing from the same photo set, repeating the same hairstyle etc etc is something I tend to do if I don’t think I’ve quite got the best out of those elements first time around 🤷‍♂️☺️

Another one for the proposed ‘sketch wall’ at my solo exhibition in London in October
-
First painted as the central figure of a collab with ma bro @davidjunelouf at @lululaboratorium in #wynwood #miami… and kinda keeping the colour scheme in honour of both
-
The likeness to model/muse @erin_tequila isn’t the best but that’s an issue inherent in approaching these in a non-technical way. I made a decision early on that, as long as the face didn’t look bad, I’d just go with them no matter what 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

A cold/bug and packed-up central heating have kept me in bed all weekend… but I can still sketch 😏
-
Revisiting pieces I painted many moons ago, as part of this sketch series, has been fun and it’s kinda cool to be able to give them a new lease of life.
-
The model/muse for this piece was @jadediana who I met at an eatery in DTLA in 2014. One of my buyers took me there after I’d dropped off a couple of artworks to him in person at his #easternbuilding apartment. It was he that noticed and then spoke to Jade saying that ‘she looked like a Fin DAC woman’.
-
Of course she had no fucking idea what he was talking about but she at least agreed to send me some headshots 😀😀

Good news for all of those that pre-ordered your Fin DAC x @greshamblake ‘Sonyeo’ facemasks… I’m pleased to say that they will start to be posted from tomorrow 😀 😀

As you may be aware, there has been considerable disruption with services here in the UK but, fingers crossed the masks will be with you as soon as possible.
-
Thank you for your patience and your support.

There are still a handful remaining of this limited print so do grab one whilst you can

This split image format is something I’ve been playing with since the @street_prints festival in Jan 2018 when I painted a muse with dual ethnicity as part of the festival theme.
-
I’ve been experimenting with it more and more in the studio lately. In particular, the ‘redux’ series (that I undertook while stuck in lockdown in California at @brettcrawfordart ’s studio) helped me to see and understand certain things that simply hadn’t occurred to me previously.
-
The fact that most of my favourite artists (regardless of era) focussed on female portraiture and had a distinctive illustrative or graphic bent to their work had never really occurred to me. And because of that, I’d neither understood nor explored that side of my own creativity… until now
-
These hidden sides of us and the duality between certain aspects of our personalities will be one of the main themes for my solo exhibition late next year. This is the first of those experiments on wood and I’m more than happy with the result

My latest sketchbook piece is a return to the source and the original photo that started me down the road I’ve been on ever since.
-
After finding this image of a 15 year old @nicoleswu on Flickr and getting permission to paint it on a wall in #vitrysurseine … Nicole essentially became my first muse.
-
I still paint Nicole to this day so she’ll definitely be a part of the solo show next year

These long winter evenings are definitely helping with my sketching abilities 🤗.
-
I’ve never been a sketchbook kind of artist, never carried a sketchbook and pencils with me wherever I go (🤮) and generally shied away from it because, truthfully, it’s always felt like something I lacked in the creativity spectrum. But practice is definitely producing pleasing results.
-
Here’s a version of ‘Shukumei’ featuring model/muse @missymtoyz… first painted as a ‘Hidden Beauty’ on a rooftop in San Francisco
