The first of four screen (art) casts recorded during the painting of Callum's World.
This features Callum's son Mathew. Initial sketch was done with paper and pencil, scanned into Photoshop CS4 at 600dpi with the rendering done at 300dpi in CMYK.
A recent commission I completed for a 50th birthday gift. Callum and his family being the subjects of this caricature. A new first for me with this piece was to record my progress using Screen Cast. It was more a test run to get to know the software and definitely not intended to be a 'How to'. However by recording my painting and then re watching the compiled video I have learnt an awful lot about my technique and have identified lots of areas where I should improve particularly in productivity. Feel free to watch the vids and comment. will be upload soon.
Jon has always had a passion and talent for illustration and its through the art of caricature where he successfully manages to channel this gift bringing humor to the faces of most but always to himself.
Jon spends a great deal of time traveling to foreign shores but always returns to the wet and windy, grey landscape of his native North East of England home.
