Supertramp!
I don't know why but for some reason the first thing I thought of when I heard the topic was a drunken tramp on a park bench. I suppose it goes on the idea of what happens to superheroes when they grow old or are no longer needed. The guy in this image could have been something great once but we just see him as a hindrance in our busy lives.

Ghost
This is one of my paintings that I did relating to the theme of mortality. The idea that I had was that the girl is between the land of the living and the dead. She is dancing unaware of the figures surrounding her which were actually accidental marks made when the paint seeps through the canvas...quite creepy I thought considering they weren't intended.

Capture
For this illustration I wanted to work on the idea of trying to capture youth and the lengths that some people with go to getting a certain "look". The image turned quite sinister when I started to think about different traps that are used and one of the most horrendous is the jaw or leg trap. I decided to use this in the work because of the brutal nature of plastic surgery, one of the methods that is used by people trying to re-capture their youth, butchering their natural features in the process.

Clean
One of the worst things when I come home after work is the thought of having to do the washing up, it's just never ending! I therefore thought, wouldn't it be great it you could just pour acid all over it? It might not be much use after but at least it would be clean.
I've had a bit more time to work on the image this week so thought I'd have a go at using gouache for the first time and was really pleased. Hope you like.
