SDM @ Bar 90

Never too late to post something late! I painted this alongside Tony Riff at the SDM party at Bar 90, Hackney Wick.

Painting with Rifff quite a bit, I wanted to find a way of making our styles match closer, so I decided to tweak the colours and try fills, and outlines different to my usual approach. 

There was quite a good response so definitely a good way to go.

Michelle nude colours

Here's my colour render of Michelle.Some colour overlays, soft light layers etc.

Nude practice

Just been focusing on speed painting today, knocking out shapes, forms, tones etc. So a quick-ish values practice.

I give to you… New Desktop wallpaper

Hello my lovelies. So not too long ago I recognised that my following has increased by quite a few numbers. This is over Instagram and Facebook as well as Blogger. To anyone else it may be seen as small numbers however to me it's support; by people commenting, liking, and sharing my imagery it helps stable to my to feel like I'm on the right track.

So a little something to tie back, I have created a desktop wallpaper for CPU's and one for mobile devices.

You can get the link for these here.

Day 29- Metal Face Doom

#Inktober went pretty well but it definitely had its challenges. I got really into it and had a good first couple of weeks, however I definitely found myself feeling it by the 16th. By the 18th I hit a slump, with the loss of a friend and my mind working so much thinking about imagery my mind pretty much turned to an overactive sentinel and thats when the darkness came over. Silence became my worst enemy, being left to my won thoughts, and with jobs to get on with which naturally need sketching for too, I couldn't stop thinking , even in my keep, which proved difficult to sleep. 

I guess it comes down to how much you work yourself, and every day I feel I must do something on par or better than the last.

I definitely have my favourites out of them. But to let you all know a selection of these will be sold. How and when will be released very soon, definitely this week.

If you are interested in purchasing, email me with which particular day(s) jebasmind@gmail.com.

Inktober Day 14- Quincey Cassel Williams

A few weeks ago the London creative community lost a dear friend. Quincey Williams is one third of creative brand Stooki, a brand that has been doing great things and been deservingly successful over the last couple of years. Quincey was a friend to myself and to many. In the last few years since I've known him he has been one of the most influential people that I've met. There are very few people that I can say worked so hard, new the meaning of a hard days graft and did everything for his passion. Integrity was a key attribute to him, he would always approach a person or situation with the respect due, he didnt have a bad thing to say about anyone, if he didnt have anything particularly nice to say then he just wouldn't say anything at all and hold his corner.

Quincey was someone I always felt comfortable with talking too about ideas, and he always felt comfortable listening, he'd genuinely be concerned about your well being.

In all without writing a 5 page essay, Quincey was a person you would appreciate in your life because of the genuine god vibes he had. And my gosh he knew how to take up an opportunity. The ONLY person I know to get to a festival on Stevie Wonders guest list!!

Quincey I say thank you for allowing me share conversations with you and walk along side you for the time that we did. Thank you for being an influence and thank you helping me understand a broader picture.

Day5

Last week I caught onto this #Inktober thing… I thought "inktober… well whats this about?" Really it's just plain and simple, 31 days of the month, 31 daily sketches in ink. Right now I've seen concepts like this and I never take part as I predetermine I've got too many sketches to do anyway so I'm going to flop at some point. But you know what, I'm going it a try this time and am going to see what jazz I come up with each day. I'm not sticking to any particular theme, just cracking out imagery as good as I can.

Here are the first 5 days.

JEBA X Sclater Street Stalls

Last weekend was quite a busy one again, I had to take part in 2 paint jams; the first being Sclater Street Stalls. Organised by Graffiti and Street Art enthusiasts Sara Farrel and Bablu Miah, they devised a bi-weekly event in Shoreditch that pulled together Artists, food and art traders.

It took me a while to get down their but I definitely had to make the effort to get to the last jam. A well received weekend event and what I feel to be a really good effort to continue exposing the artists of different calibre's and styles.

Joining me on the day were the likes of good friend Jack Ngo, ZINA, FANAKAPAN and Artista, as well as more.
