I have a show next week at Limousine Bull Artist’s Collective in Aberdeen. I’ll be showing new work, mostly drawings that I’ve made over the past year or two that relate to film and video I’ll also be launching the next in the series of Anti-Narrative Comics. More details below: Static – Pete McPartlan An [...]
I’m starting to sell a few small pieces of work, via an etsy shop. The plan is to sell a few small things to help me raise money for more ambitious projects. Up now are two of the studies I made to prepare for making Spoil Ground and the piece you can see above. In [...]
I’m doing a series of drawings for my friend Jo Millett and I’m almost finished – these are some of the sketches I did before I started. I was trying to find a system for drawing the intricate patterns found in drying mud on the banks of the river Hull (from memory). None of them [...]
I’m thinking a lot about animation at the moment – partly because of all the bits of film I’ve been working with recently and I’ve come to a kind of a conclusion about what it is that interests me about the medium. I’m interested in change rather than motion. Traditionally animation is about defining small [...]

Serial, systematic glyphs composed in an a-serial, improvised way using carbon paper to hide the layer beneath whilst drawing. Simply counting specific numbers of movements (straight-lines) per glyph and trying to avoid repetition of similar forms allows the shapes almost form themselves, hiding the layer beneath allows for collisions, building a dense cacophony of structures [...]

Oops, a decimal place out… Some new bits and pieces I’ve been playing with in the studio, all made from hand drawn film cut into little splinters.
I’ve spent far too long in front of open office/google docs this week, needed to do some mindless doodling with the pens and pencils I could find in my living room. First opportunity I’ve had to think about the Real Time Strategies exhibition I’ve proposed for later in the year.
Just some tests on 35mm film.
My submission for the for the second of the Essaying Essays:An Assembling publication. A Vowel-Network drawn on A2 graph paper, folded to A4. Which will be on display in Berlin at the Reading Room.

The main piece of work I’ve been making here in Sandnes is an installation called Isostasy. It consists of a drawing and an 8 minute video loop. Here are some images of the drawing, which will become the screen for the projected video. The video consists of thousands of individually captured images of the drawing [...]
Some test footage of horizontal channels in rocks at the top of Dalsnuten. (If you’re reading this on facebook, you need to ‘view original post’ to see the video (apologies for the bad quality… )). And some ‘story-boards’ drawn afterwards. I went for a walk yesterday up to the summit of Dalsnuten, a mountain that [...]
