Technically its 11 layers but its more like 7 because the last 4 layers were around the eyes where I didn't want to add any bridges to previous layers. I'm pleased with how this turned out for two reasons, firstly I like the way Plura Bella comes out of the darkness, positive use of negative space and all that and secondly because last year on the exact same day that I was ready to pack in the art Plura Bella gave me a gift that forced me to carry on creating. A kind and generous person with impeccable timing, I hope she likes her portrait...

I've been thinking I need to limit my palette for a while but I've struggled with what colours to limit it to. I think for 2011 I'll go for Signal Red, Golden Yellow and Black making up the warm colours while Petrol, White and Black will make up the cool colours....maybe a little Transparent Black in the mix too. All Molotow of course...
This what the warm palette comes out like... A portrait of a mother and child I did a few weeks ago. Just two layers on a 30cm x 60cm canvas. Really happy with how this turned out, quite beautiful in it's simplicity.
Please use the contact form if you want to ask about having a portrait done. If you are looking for a £400 stocking filler and you like your stencil art in landscape form you're in luck. I've just added Control of the People to the shop. This is the first item for sale on the site (not including tees) and more will be added regularly...
