A quick video run through of my new artwork prints that just arrived this morning. I think it's sometimes better see them in video rather than a photograph so I decided to throw this together. I will be selling these at a good price very soon if anyone is interested, I am just looking for some good frames at the moment.

Mark Lanegan Prints Arrived Today
2 Mark Lanegan prints arrived today. One on left is on a slightly glossier paper so holds the shadows better, the one on the right is on matt paper and seems to hold more texture but gives up the deep shadows. I can't decide which one I like better, I may try a watercolour style paper to get some more texture before I start selling them in my online store. I always take ages choosing the perfect paper for prints. Which one looks best to you?

My Time With The Iphone 4 So Far (Photography)
Recently I decided to upgrade from my old Sony mobile phone which I must have had for around 4-5 years as it was done. Everyone around me either has an iphone or some kind of fancy android thing. I wasn't really into getting one as all I did was text but then I saw all these awesome photographers getting great results from their iphone it seemed like it would be fun to just shoot with a phone and process on the spot rather than get home, load the images on to the computer and process in photoshop. Don't get me wrong I love my Canon 5D MK 2 and get great images from it but sometimes its a bit over kill to carry around and I've gotten a little sick of sitting in front of the computer for hours at a time looking through and processing images. So this iphone seemed like a good idea just to have as a pocket camera that would free me up from carrying around my SLR all the time. Yeah I could have bought a compact camera but I really didn't want to as they are overpriced for what they really are. With the iphone I could text, use the internet, send emails, shoot photographs, network and oh yeah don't forget about actually calling people.
Anyway I went for the Iphone 4, downloaded instagram and have since started to use it as my compact camera and I have to say I am very impressed, of course the quality is not good but for some shots who cares. It is so liberating being this restricted when it comes to controls and processing options. It kind of reminds me of when I shot a lot of film with my Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim camera which had no controls but I always liked the results as you had to get really creative.
I haven't really shot too much yet with the phone but I am having a blast so thought I would post my results here as a sort of Iphone photography diary thing.
So here's some of the images so far:

This is to the right of the beach. I love just wandering around here.

Couldn't resist shooting this sunset.

Mark Lanegan New Album & Interview
Mark Lanegan Just released his new album 'Blues Funeral' this week and I have been looking forward to this for a very long time. It's goood being a fan of Lanegan as over the past few years he has been releasing tons of music, doing guest spots on people's records and full albums with Isobell Campbell, Soulsavers and The Gutter Twins but no solo record since 2004's Bubblegum. So he finally got round to working on some solo stuff and will follow with a tour which I'm glad I have tickets for.
I just saw this interview on his approach to recording the album and how it was a whole new experience than he was used to so check out the interview and get the info from the man himself. This is the most I’ve ever seen him speak and he seems pretty happy to be doing an interview. Interesting approach to writing the album, writing and recording them all in sequence and only doing 12 instead of randomly writing tons and picking the best. I must say I wasn’t too sure about the album initially but now after hearing it a good few times it’s pretty awesome, very subtle songs and definitely takes a little while to tune into where its coming from and I highly recommend picking it up. Oh and I get my computer back on Sunday so anyone interested in purchasing any of my lanegan or any other illustrations will be able to do so pretty soon.

Mark Lanegan Watercolor and Inks
Mark Lanegan watercolour and ink in progress. It is a larger piece but cropped because of instagram. This is from a photograph that I took of Mark in London a few years back. It's cool that it's not from someone else's photo, makes it more exciting to do.

New Mark Lanegan Painting
Mark Lanegan Painting. This is a new black and white painting I did of Lanegan. It's loosely based on a photo that Steve Gullick took of Lanegan a few years ago but with my usual expressive stamp on it. I did a small sketch of Lanegan a few years back that ended up oin his Myspace page where I didn't give him any eye's so I thought I would carry on that tradition in this piece.
The Original framed piece will be available for sale soon with a limited print run to follow. So if your a Lanegan fan or know someone who is, this could be an awesome gift or wall filler.
Cheers folks.
Oh also available for artwork commissions if you would like something similar to this.
20" X 16" on Canvas Paper. Watercolors, inks.

Soulsavers Gig
Soulsavers at The Electric Ballroom in Camden on Friday night (11th Dec o9).
Was an amazing gig, the band were spot on and full of energy, Lanegans vocals were perfect. One of the best gigs i have ever seen.
We got to meet Mark lanegan. Mark is my favourite singer of all time and this is pretty much a dream come true meeting him. He was a really cool guy, he was happy to chat for a few minutes and take a few photo's. We didn't want to bother him that much as there were a couple of crazed fans that were clawing at him but we got a few photos and that was really cool. We asked him to take a photo of me and Cat for some reason (did I mention we were a little drunk) which he said yeah, but that he ain't that good with cameras (especially 30 year old film cameras) and the photo was eh......pretty messed up but is a cool memory of the night.
We also met The Guitarist Rich Warren. He is an awesome guitarist and is full of energy, its so good to watch him perform.
We also met the Bassist Martyn lenoble who was also very cool. All great musicians in their own right. Great night and here are some of the shots from the night.
