About the series:
First I place an empty paint can in the centre of the paper. Next I spray around it with black spray paint using a variety of spitting and fading techniques. I create a whole stack of these backgrounds and once they're dry I take them to a public place where I sit and observe the people that walk by, using them to inspire the characters I build into the circle templates.

I created a series of 54 of these drawings in this format for a short animation that you can watch on Youtube here:

The first 16 of this series are being displayed in my upcoming solo exhibition and the remainder are being made for sale via my online shops.
