Hi. This is my website.
I paint, design, build websites and make films.
Paintings

Sometimes I do this for fun. Sometimes I do this for hire.
On the best of days it can be both of those things.

My ‘work’ related website is here, this site has returned to more of a blog – given the increasingly fragile nature of social media platforms.

  • The Sound cover artwork

    Recent cover design and illustration for a brand new single from Sid Griffin.

    Erm, Happy New Year? Okay, it has been very quiet on here of late, I know. And this website is also long overdue a revamp.

    But to keep things ticking over here is a recent cover design and illustration for the brand new solo single from Sid Griffin (of The Long Ryders fame) which I was super happy to be asked to create.

    Really pleased with how it turned out.

    If you want to hear the track you can find it in all the usual places including Spotify or check out the video for the single below which I also had a hand in helping create (via my work over at Hathway Creative).

    Hopefully I will have more time to post and more news of this nature soon…

  • Car Art

    Drawing cars for cash.

    MGB Car Illustration by Chris Hathway for Webazoot Industries

    I have been drawing some digital car illustrations and graphics for Webazoot since buying an iPad to use for work during the pandemic. I had tried drawing on tablets in the past but, maybe because I could only afford the most basic of them, they never really worked for me. Straight away I found drawing on the iPad really easy, fun to use and it also let me spend time drawing when I wasn’t at my desk.

    Originally it started when I was hand drawing some designs for flags friends, involving their cars, I switched designing those over to the iPad, then started drawing some other cars and eventually put them up online for sale.

    A couple of my recent favorites are below.

    You can buy these car artworks and many, many more I have drawn on a wide variety of products, everything from mugs to T-shirts to socks and shower curtains*.

    See the full range on the TeePublic and Redbubble websites.

    *I am yet to sell a shower curtain sadly.

  • Roadside 30-10-18

    Roadside or ‘in the middle of the road’, I’m not sure.

    Roadside 30-10-18

    I’d recommend the Nunwell Trail from the Visit Isle of Wight website. Its starts and ends quite easily but be warned either the author got a little distracted or perhaps its the lack of landmarks in the middle section but which ever of those it is means you may find yourself wandering around in a field with no idea which of the dozen or so paths you should follow.

    Still, if we hadn’t got so lost we would’ve missed this rather nice sunset. Oh yes, remember to take a torch too – Just in case.
