Lorra lorra sketching

Despite the lack of updates I've been churning out quite a bit of 'work'. Much life drawing, a few down below (the tippity tip of the iceberg). All charcoal on sugar paper, newsprint, or primed cardboard.

Because we love you..

I found an old CCTV camera in a skip while on a job, and now I done an idea...

Original condition — cracking, flaking paint and lots of crumbling, oxidised metal.

Gutted, a few of the electrics can be cannibalised and used for the lighting.

Stripping the remaining paint back. Nitro Mors is pretty nasty stuff it turns out. Gets right up your beak and needs a fair dash of tonic to go down.

Grinding and sanding away the oxidised metal and the last of the paint.

Primed and ready to paint.

Several dustings of paint and a few layers of clear coat later...

Seated an LED light (low temperature so it doesn't melt anything or burst into flames) in a block of blue foam and coated the inside with aluminium foil tape.

All wired up and ready to test.

Next frosted the glass and figured out how to put it all back together again.

Just have to find/make a bracket to fit it to the wall and its done.
