This is an image that I drew of a anatomical heart with roses in it for a project I did based on tattoo art.  I created this in different coloured fine liners on a canvas made from latex and tissue layered on top of each other to create the effect of skin.

I did this by monoprinting an image of myself onto fabric and then adding colour using watercolour paints and letting them bleed into each other, then I stiched into the image with different colour thread.  I then stretched the fabric across a canvas.
This is a carbon print that I have created on parcel paper using images of a pigs heart taken from different angles and a sheep skull, I have then worked into them using red and white chalk to show depth and definition.
These are images of human skulls which I have printed onto different backgrounds one I have printed with carbon paper (top) and worked into with chalk and water and scribbled around the edges with black biro and the other using printing ink (bottom) and worked into it using white chalk and also used the biro on this one.
These are drawings of a heart which I based on photos I have taken of a pigs heart from different angles, I created them using black and red fine liners.
These too are images based on the photographs I took of the pig's heart, they are done in fine liner and the top one was done with my right hand and the bottom with my left.  I have dripped red ink down the page to add colour.

This is a carbon print that I have done of some images of roses for my project on tattoo art, i have faintly printed them onto newspaper with acrylic paint over the top.
This image is a collograph print of a human skull.  I created the textured surface for the ink to go ontop of from string, pva glue, tissue paper, ink and lace.  Then I used brown ink and printed it paper.
This is a close up study of a human skulls teeth.  I have created this image using stick and ink ontop of brown parcel paper with white acrylic paint.
This is a study of a human skull which I did using white chalk on black sugar paper with white acrylic paint on it to give it texture.  This too was for a project I did on tattoo art in which i looked at traditional tattoo designs and the inspiration behind them.
This is a close up study of teeth of a human skull, I created this image using charcoal and white chalk to show light and dark areas on the image.
This is a image that I created for my latest project on the human body and beauty, I have used pictures of myself and done tonal pencil drawings of them and then dripped coloured ink down paper and photocopied it onto acetate paper and then layered them ontop of the pencil drawings  I think that this worked well and i like the effect that it has.
