A Quick Guide to Grime Music (UK Rap) for Americans.
Grime music is derived from a mixture of Garage, Jungle and Hip Hop, the exact definition of Grime is when you spit bars over an instrumental at 140bpm, but it’s essentially our take on Rap music.

Draw Diction #10 | Antelope
I've also been itching to geometricise an animal for a really long time. When I came across the word antelope, I knew there was no turning back from it. I'm quite happy with this one. I would generally paint the watercolours before inking but I was inspired to use them only after completing the drawing and so I went for it anyway. The triangle came at the end, because they're my favourite shape, and fit perfectly here.

The Whale: Adding to my Bescouted Collection
This piece was done for a surreal challenge. My work often borders the absurd or sometimes happily lives in the domain of Whimsy, so this felt a direction I could happily travel.
As If - Original Art Work For The Surreal Art Contest

My entry to @sethlinson's #surrealart contest
Art piece with Oil Pastels. I found inspiration from my walk to the beach the day prior (photo below) which felt surreal due to how cold and desolate it was - with the exception of the seagulls.

A lot of colors in this artwork, darker but with a lot of bright colors to give it balance. Sky meets trees meets hills with some fields and roads to put in front of it. more purple than normal but I like the feel of it, just seems to fit nicely with the sky.
Midsummer Morning Sun (Original Composition for Classical Guitar)
Today I am sharing with you a new piece for classical guitar that I have been working on over the last few days. While the work is still in the early phases of development the idea was to try to express the brightness and simple joy of a shaft of morning light, which each day cascades through my window and lights the room where I am writing.

Scribbling Self Portrait
I wanted to have fun and scribbled a self portrait. I was thinking of having a new profile picture and thinking of doing a portrait sooner or later. This portrait doesn't actually portray my emotional side as the look is quite sturdy and mature, which I am not. Although a introvert, I like to have fun in my own way or terms as well as easy going guy.

I Spent Today Learning Something New
Gem Trails: Environments One - Morning Beach
For years as a touring musician, artist and traveler experiencing the world through various environments and quick dips into foreign cultures it struck me that the sounds of each surrounding played a huge part in the make of of each place's collective sub conscience. I began collecting field recordings and samples from these environments and layering ambient guitar & electronic compositions over the top. I call the series simply "Environments", modeled after the great late 60's & 1970s Warner Music released series of the same name.

https://steemit.com/@sea-otter/rise-of-the-machines-fearful-thought
The image represents my fear of a future where AI machines rebel against and enslave the human race. For those of us, sci-fi aficionados, mixing robots and artificial intelligence is a scary combination. We watched Battlestar Galactica. We know what happens when machines evolve. In Battlestar Galactica, intelligent robots called Cylons almost destroyed mankind in a 1,000-year war.

Acrylic Paintings
Over the years I worked a lot with traditional tools like pencils, paint and ink. Being new to this platform and having loads of art I wanted to show I will try to post artworks that kind of are made in the same time span or in the same kind of genre. The two paintings in this blog are made in the same year 2016. I started more but they never got finished. As I was used to draw a lot with pencils and no color this was really out of my comfort zone. I used linework with ink and combined it with acrylics and a little bit of markers.
Creating Art in the Deep South
I call my art style "Subconscious Meandering" because I basically let my mind wander when I create, with little thought to subject matter or composition. During the course of creating a piece of "art", various ideas begin to coalesce and take shape before my eyes. I definitely enjoy this process, and even though I do many things in a similar style, every single thing I do is an unexpected adventure.
