Recently my local town of St Helens held an open art competition. You could enter pretty much anything you wanted. There were 6 category prizes (Portrait, Drawing, Landscape, Olympics, Mixed Media, Digital), 6 highly commended prizes and also your standard 1st, 2nd and 3rd Awards. I only found out about the competition 2 days before the deadline so I quickly got to work. I took a photo of my dad and then did an A4 sized pencil portrait of him. Entry fee was £6.00. Although I was happy with the piece, I knew I had rushed it slightly because of the short notice. Also I was able to enter 2 pieces but with the short deadline there was no chance

I have been drawing for a while now, and I do commissions here and there for friends and family. But ive decided to step it up a little and try and make a decent go of it with my Art Career. I will keep uploading portraits on here, but I am now starting to produce Prints of my work. There are several Art Fairs in and about the North West of England so I plan to get some stock together and sell sell sell. I have also met someone who is a talented photographer and we have decided to team up and try this out. I will keep this page updated with my progress, or you can follow my progress on my Illustrator page on Facebook. http://www.facebook.c

I want to produce an image today, but something a bit different from wha I normally do. My Mac is out of actio at the moment so whatever I produce, it will most likely be traditional media. Let's get to it! Steven
