Neil Blue I am figurative artist and I really love to study anatomy and expressions of the human form. I am currently working with brush and ink to develop a feel for the figure with simple lines and the challenge of simulating texture and light with only black and white. Also, being interested in the way modern animation and comic book inking has developed into a more digital form, I have left some original hand construction form in my original work which I remove in the black and white printed forms.

Framed originals £30 prints for under £10
