Still finishing work for the figurative show at Scotlandart in Edinburgh opening on 7th April. Posting a sneak preview of one of the new drawings, Morning Glory. Apologies to anyone looking for me in the Herald the other week – I ended up on the cutting room floor – however I will be in there […]
8th March 2011
An extremely exciting week in McArthur Land. Not only am I launching the brand, spanking, new, shiny website but on this Saturday, 12th March, I will be featured in interview with Alison Campsie in the magazine supplement of the Glasgow Herald – page 5ish, I think, although I hear the photo’s pretty huge so you […]

I’m working hard now for the final push on the pieces I will be exhibiting at the AAF in London 10th – 14th March. This is a rather rubbish photo of my latest offering, ” The Road Less Travelled” which will be making an appearance in London. It’s a big drawing more than 120cm wide. […]

I spent the weekend up north getting back to nature in the wilds of the astonishingly beautiful motherland. Always on the job, I couldn’t leave my faithful model at home. The bold and brave Nikolai, dressed and ready for action popped out of the car and into the wilderness whenever requested and I got some […]

The painting on my Xmas card is from a series of new monochrome underwater paintings I’m working on. There’s a fluidity about them that never really appeared with the drawings and I’m itching to get back in the studio to work on them. But…………first it’s that time again – back to the frozen north to […]

I’ve been busy making some small studies and drawings and these are all newly available for sale through various galleries around the UK at the moment. Much smaller than I’ve worked over recent years but perfectly formed. If anyone would like to know what is sale for from whom just get in touch.

Some quick-ish colour studies I’ve been making of my jumping men, Quite pleased with these – a lot of energy.

Many apologies for my lack of postage – I was supposed to be in LA this month, however due to unforeseen circumstances I have found myself back in the motherland, where I have been setting up studio as it looks like I will be here for a while… To compensate, and dreaming of sunnier climbs, […]

It’s been an age since I last posted. However, the summer hols are finally over and the autumn spells a return to hard graft. The first in a series of small drawings.

I have been working on a commission for a client in London. It is a whopping great drawing more than 2 metres in width.
31st July 2010
Apologies, not too much to report. It’s wedding season and I’m in Scotland – justification I would say. So far, I’ve nearly set myself on fire attempting to fire throw on the Isle of Lewis and even earlier fell over holding a baby – impressive…. However, two great pieces that are available for sale and […]
6th July 2010
Not one to rest on my laurels, I am busying myself with preparing the work for my next show in London in the autumn. Although mainly focusing now on boxers, I am also making a few pieces based on some photography I did on my recent trip to Formentera where I had the pleasure to […]

Many thanks to everyone who came along to support at the opening at the Union Gallery last Thursday – it was a great night and I was delighted to be reunited with my dear friends the gallery girls team who I worked with many moons ago and still have as much fun with. We have […]

My dear friend and fashion entrepreneur Anna Reig Florensa has been hosting me this week in the fantabulous island of Formentera where she has been indulging my passion for bikes! We have been roaring around very well dressed on a 17 year old moped called Lido, which very sadly today has given up the ghost. […]
