So i think its time i get back on track!! but first, some research

I found this guy while browsing through that website Behance, which I've never visited before! His name is Carne Griffith and these portraits are done with tea and coffee, brandy, vodka and whiskey, ink, graphite and liquids (not paint, which you all know I love using other mediums other than paint!)
"Carne Griffiths’ artwork is born from a love of drawing and the journey of creating an image on the page. Working primarily with calligraphy ink, graphite and liquids, such as tea brandy, vodka and whisky he draws and then manipulates the drawn line."
Carne’s images explore both human and floral forms, figuratively and in an abstract sense. He is fascinated by the flow of line and the ‘invisible lines’ that connect us to the natural world. These may be considered lines of energy or spiritual connections between ourselves and our surroundings and his work is often an emotional response to images and situations encountered in daily life. These daily images are recorded in a dream like sense onto the page where physical boundaries are no longer important. Carne’s work takes us on a journey of escapism, often focusing on scenes of awe and wonderment, they offer a sense of abandonment to the artist and to the viewer an invitation to share and explore this inner realm.

second project!

and i decided i wanted to work on the torso, preferably the back!
i dont have the images that influenced me, but i do have pictures of my work..
i didnt photograph everything in my sketch books because most of it is very experimental.. i messed around with photographs and then i began painting with productas found in my kitchen on every tyoe of material i could find!
and thats where i came across treacle which is very annoying to use but very enjoyable at the same time! I have alot more work done, but it all began sticking together and ripping and tearing, so alotof it is destroyed and silly me didnt photograph them as i done them! so theres a lot of work that i cannot show!
