Below you will find a selection of images from an evening of Life Drawing on August 8 2013 at Loft Studios, Belfast.

Check out the selection of my work below from an evening of life drawing at Loft Belfast, the art collective, 99 North Street.

Above is a more formal, sit-down cartoon I produced in June 2013 for a soon to be married couple. By sit-down I mean I didn't do it in real time. Though I did do some real-time sketches of the couple. I visited them in their house to do some live drawing of them before producing the final cartoon. See below the sketches I did with pencil, pen and ink.

The lovely picture above is one taken by a member of The Loft Collective (@loftbelfast) - a shared studio that hosts an exciting group of artists in the north side of Belfast city centre. The above event was a night eponymously called 'Drink and Draw' - held June 18 2013: Life drawing with alcohol in suit. Always good for freeing up the creative impulses and loosening the hand and wrist. Carrying on Ronald Searle's bibulous tradition supremely.

I had the pleasure of being invited along to the GEMS NI Kestrel Conference on the morning of Wednesday 20 March 2013. The event was presented by the well known voice of Seamus McKee who presents BBC Radio Ulster Evening Extra and who you can see in the cartoon selection below. It also had a number of famous political faces in attendance including the two Junior Ministers, the DUP's Jonathan Bell (above inside right) and Sinn Fein's Jennifer McCann (above far right). There were of course many more lesser known faces in attendance which provided great material for me to work with!
