Totem & Dino


Here's a couple of pages from a very old sketchbook of mine, that I recently rediscovered. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind these sketches was.

Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project (Last Page)

Here’s the final page of my forty page contribution to the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project that is currently touring various galleries and museums around the US.


It’s based upon one of the creatures that I invented for a couple of the annual RCA Secret post card shows at the Royal College of Art in London.

Oli Bennett Secret Cards

Well the Oli Bennett Secret Cards sale has now been and gone (although, if any of the cards didn’t sell on the night then I believe that they will still be available online till the 24th) so I can finally reveal the four post cards that I created for the charity event. And here they are…

Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project (Page 39)

Here’s the 39th page of my forty page contribution to the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project that is currently touring various galleries and museums around the US.


The drawing is probably a good illustration of my fascination with boxes on wheels and anything that looks like entrails, vines, tubes, pipes, cables, wires, fibres, hair etc.

Crab Claws

These two small drawings are studies that I made for my two Crab Claw paintings.


I’ve always been fascinated by crabs and their claws. When I was a child I would bring bags of shells and bits of dead crabs back from the beach, every time the family went on holiday to Wales. The only problem being that I would always forget to remove them from the boot of the car once we’d returned home. Invariably they would sit there for days and end up stinking the car out. Even today the smell of rotting sea creatures brings back happy memories.

Pink Swirly Skulls Background


Ok, this isn’t probably the most exciting of drawings but I thought that I’d show it to you anyway, just to let you see some of the preparatory stuff that goes on before I come up with a finished piece. These nine dripping rectangles were a few of the drawings that I came up with when I was trying to work out the block image for the background screen of my new ‘Swirly Skulls on Pink’ screen print (see image below - and click on it to see magnify). It looks like I must have settled on the top central one in the end.


Now for the sales pitch –
If you’d like one of my new, 2 colour, ‘Swirly Skulls on Pink’ screen prints, they come in a strictly limited edition of 50 and each print is signed, titled, editioned and dated. The paper dimensions are 70 x 50 cm (larger than the new, single colour, ‘Swirly Skulls’ prints which are 60 x 45 cm). And as with the new, one colour, Swirly Skull prints, these are also available for a super low, commission-free price (£60 each if bought directly from my good self). If you would like one just drop me an email at waynechisnall@yahoo.co.uk. Kerching!!!

It would be so much easier if my sculptures were really made this way.

Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project (Page 37)

Here’s the 37th page of my forty page contribution to the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project that is currently touring various galleries and museums around the US.


It's a re-drawing of a section of one of the original working drawings that I made whilst constructing my sculpture, The City.
