I’m now 3 weeks into fatherhood. It has probably been the hardest but most amazing 3 weeks of my life so far. I say so far as I have been told by many people it doesn’t really get easier you just learn to cope better. I’m doing ok with the nappy changes and the constant routine, but its the interrupted sleep I am having trouble with. Waking up every 2 – 3 hours…
If you are reading this then you would have noticed I have given my website a bit of a face-lift, I hope it is as pleasing to your eyes as a curry and a pint of cobra on a Friday night. I’ve been quite busy of late with various projects and jobs so this is the first post I have written in a while. This illustration titled ‘Possession’ has been a work in progress piece for a while which I have now finally got round to finishing…
This image came from a sketch I’ve had for a while, although it has progressed a little from its early scribble. Titled {Absolve} – meaning ‘to set free from an obligation or the consequences of guilt’ – this image has quite an obvious religious theme when linked with its title. Although, at a quick glance it could just look like a bunch of hoodies with umbrellas in some massive angry rain.
I’m not a religious person. I like the art, imagery, statues, cathedrals, churches and the theory of it including the way it gives people hope or helps people focus on something when they don’t have anything or are in troubled times. The catholic church, kind of the Bang and Olufsen of religions, has always been a bit of a dodgy subject. And theres something not quite right about it that has always bugged me.
Jesus washed peoples feet, and lived in a shed or cave or something right? And rumour has it he was a bit of a magician. So why does the Pope live in an almost golden city with mafia like bodyguards? Hmmmm. This led me to looking up on t’internet what the Pope’s salary is and if he gets Christmas bonuses for being extra pope-like? Turns out he doesn’t have a paycheck like us regular folk. He doesn’t even need money in fact. He is almost above money. Something not right there hey?
Anyway this quick little illustration/print is what spawned from these thoughts. See you all in hell!!!
