I feel space

I’ve just came back from a run.

A 2026 5k personal best.

My head is clear, my legs are a little tired and I have suddenly realised in between bites of banana that, I need to move my artwork away from social media. Maybe not all of it, but the story, the background, process, passion… the reasons for it.

Ai when used as an art and design tool is fast, lazy and hard to look at and, social media has reprogrammed our brains into fast and lazy actions.

I don’t think my artwork can exist in this world. I need to protect it from that chaos.

Other artists use social media to great effect and it’s always great to see the success of other artists. I need another way though.

In short, if you think my art is good, interesting and/or of value in a way that you’d like to engage with or perhaps hang on your walls, then I hope you will follow and subscribe to this journal.

I will continue to post the style content on social media. I’m incredibly grateful for how fun it is and for opportunities that arise out of it.

The art is different though.

I feel space

I have been working on a tentatively titled series of pieces called I feel space:

An exploration in learning patterns from existing information.

Once trained, the artist predicts what comes next using patterns to create entirely new content.

An artists response to generative artificial intelligence. 

I’ve shared some of this recently on social media and now further updates will be via this journal.

Initially this was a series of digital re-shaping experiments where I took the shapes I had painted in larger abstract works and, recoloured them, then moved them around on white space and also on other images - mostly my portrait.

This has now developed into cutting up old paintings that were on paper, re-shaping the pieces and building new works in a collage format.

These may develop into new paintings but for now there’s years of content to re-visit.

Example below:

A Book, a beer, your work is too dear - an A4 collage made up of abstract works created for a book project and potential beer label artwork.

If you’ve read this far, thank you.

I keep seeing people say that content made by humans and not robots is going to be crucial and valuable in the future.

I guess we’ll soon find out if that’s true.

If you are interested in any of my work or would like to commission some artwork, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you :)
