Bringing Bouguereau to Life

Here is a slightly strange short film from Italy that brings a lot of  academic realist paintings to life through Flash animation type techniques.
Some of it is very cool,  some is good fun and a few bits are definitely off colour.
Look out for the zombie girl by Vermeer.
Well worth a watch.

Group Exhibition in Belfast

Here is a recent oil painting that I did for an IGI group exhibition that's now showing at the Ormeau Baths Gallery in Belfast.
Our brief was to select a favourite painting and to do our own version of it.
I've always loved Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and so here was a nice opportunity to pay an homage to that great Dutch master.
And I made a little movie showing how I painted the picture.
