I have had an online presence on my blog at Suggymoto.com for a few years but my artwork has merged with and become lost amongst the other interests that I blog about. I therefore have decided to set up a sister-site which will showcase just me. There may be quite large intervals of non-activity as I juggle my non-art career with the short amount of spare time I find myself with.
Thanks for visiting, and hopefully enjoy!
Yesterday I purchased a new lense for my Canon EOS 400D.
A Tamron AF55-200mm DI II Zoom Lens to be precise.
I have to say from the off – my photos are looking much better just by being able to add depth. I’ve always been a fan of photos that give the idea of distance; for example two people stood one in front of the other. One is perfectly focused, the other is blurred.
For me, this helps center a picture and guide the viewers eye to the correct composition.
A few examples of my practice photos.
A complete theme overhaul for my iPhone. I consider this art due to the work I have put in with the icon design. Incidentaly, the icons you see are actually folders – very different from the staple Apple folder preview icon.
Created using the following jailbreak tweaks:
A long weekend trip to Plymouth, England gave some great opportunities for some nice photos.
This Lighthouse is situated on Plymouth Hoe – where Sir Francis Drake was said to be playing Bowls when the Spanish Armada attacked in 1588.

A photo I took a few years back. I feel it epitomises the fashion surrounding Rock and Roll, and how fashion can actually be more important to some people than the music itself.
Adjusted colour post-shoot.
Inspired by the film which was on ITV a few days ago.
This is a very small and very old Mill on the National Trust Dunham Massey estate near Altrincham, Cheshire.
Its been a while since I drew anything so today decided to spend some time honing up the old skill set.
Quite happy with the outcome, although I think me choice of subject matter might land me in a spot of bother… Its only art! Anyway I prefer drawing the female form to anything else, so what else am I supposed to do?
