Hey Daggers! Long time no speak!
I've always been a huge fan of the work done by Dan, Dave and the Daggers, but never really got a proper chance to commit due to studying for a degree in architecture. That being said I did offer what little time I could on a weekly basis to art, as I always knew that even if I did end up becoming an architect art would still be helpful aswell as offering a means of escape!
Anyway, I completed that degree on Monday last week and I am taking a gap year before continuing with architecture for sanity reasons!
So, that leaves 15 months or so to focus on art. The first 12 shall be spent grinding at the studies as well as working up a portfolio, those studies shall be assisted by spending some time at the London Atelier for Representational Art (LARA), and after that I hope to get some freelance work / commissions before returning to sit a one-year Masters in Architecture. What happens after that, I guess, depends on how well this deathline goes.
So, overall goals (deceptively simple):
- Get a portfolio
- Get work!

- My conceptart.org sketchbook (documenting how I got here basically): http://bit.ly/mactire-ca
- My blog: http://bit.ly/mactire

And to get things started, here's some recent studies and sketches to give an idea of where I am currently:
