Blimey. Binners has been busy.

Here’s Baz’s dads print. Glad its gone down well. Lancasters over Ladybower

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who’s bought prints, and commissioned work, and generally kept me out of mischief in what has been a busy, and absolutely fantastic year. The last of the Christmas commissions went out of the door yesterday, so its beer and football time 🙂

I seem to have been neglecting my flagrant self-promotion of late. This simply won’t do. So here goes……

A lot of you will know it. A new take on a familiar landscape. And another piece of geographical vandalism. Rivington Pike, with Steven and his son up at the top, the Pigeon Tower, Winter Hill, then the view over Angelzarke Reservoir, across Cheshire with Snowdonia in the distance </span></span>

Ace. Plenty going on but oh so simple (with a bit of, as a previous caller describes, ‘geographical bastardisation’). I think I need to get you over to the Holme Valley / Huddersfield – just need to the excuse to spend some money.

What would you suggest would be included in that image Scuttler? I may well get on to that next week, as this is the only time of year when I get chance to just do my own thing and just have a crack at doing images ‘just because….’

This would make a nice “just because…”

Emley Mast, Castle Hill, Holme Moss, West Nab to Deer Hill skyline from Wolf Stones or Helme Edge (see below), banana trusses of the John Smiths stadium where United got turned over (ouch – roll on Saturday :-o), the massive weed-burning chimney and gasometer near the stadium, some generic Victorian reservoir engineering.

Some mountain bikers in normal helmets poised to shred.

And a big dose of geo-bastardisation.

And our long range view from the hills east is to the very distinctive power stations at Drax and Ferrybridge.

Cheers Scuttler. I’ll get something put together.

Harry – did you see the Hunter I did recently? Thats a Sea Vixen, isn’t it?

If you want a recce then a good place to start is the trig at Wolfstones – https://binged.it/2DUf8rx. You get most of the key geographical features from there.

Looks awful Scuttler. I think I may have a mosey over next week. I remember driving over there in the snow last year. It was a bit hairy

We had a garage conversion last summer and I’ve been struggling to find something for the back wall, #binnerstotherescue

Even got the seal of approval from the mother in law (and she thinks everything is proper shit). The wife and kids think it’s ace.

Absolutely love it, cheers Ad 🤙🏻

And so it continues…..

Its like Groundhog Day, isn’t it? Will he ever shut up about himself. Just thought I’d post this up because I’m well chuffed with it and its not bike-related for a change. A big old Deltic 55 diesel engine. Done for the East Lancs Railway Diesel Rally. I bloody love drawing trains!!! 😀

I feel my expertise in graphical design, sculpture and fine art makes me fully qualified to comment here. Stand back fellas.

Shouldn’t that have some wheels? 🙂

Have you not seen the plans for HS2? Hover-Deltics?

Ah, the East Lancs famous Ekranotrain. Should be in the “is this the future of locomotive design” thread!

Sorry to be a bit factitious, I actually prefer the train designs to the planes, I think it’s something to do with the larger blocks of colour look better to me than the planes with the edition of camouflage pattern detail.

What do you think of this one then? Just mucking about with some ideas at the moment. This ones going to be a metre high poster print. A bit different from my usual stuff

Reckon you’ll shift a few of those. Very nice.

Very nice indeed.

I know that you’ve all been thinking “I wonder what Binners has been up to lately’ so, to stop you all losing sleep, I thought I best update you. Amongst other things, I’ve just finished this one. A commission for the wife of a big Senna fan, for her husbands birthday. An illustration of the man himself in a McLaren Honda MP4 the legendary qualifying lap at Monaco 1988. I’m quite pleased with this one 😀

Ooh that looks like it was done by a proper professional! 😀

there’s this too of course

ROWL UP, ROWL UP – Win a custom Binners

Liking the Senna and the Deltic…

Hey Binners – how well would this translate to your style?

Very easily. Landscapes are my thing, mainly. I love drawing landscapes with classic architecture.

If you want to message me on rowlinsonadam@gmail.com, I’ll send you some examples fella

nbt – It looks a bit like this*……

* It may not look exactly like this, but it does in my head 😀

And four years after the commission, it’s up! Never one to rush things with the house you know 🙂

Very pleased, thank you.

This has been a brilliant last few weeks. I’ve wanted something special for a while from our resident art blokey

http://www.adamrowlinson.co.uk/

So i asked him to do a design for the wife as a present. It was of course of our lad, the initial photo was taken from his Enduro race at Forest of Dean and the first pic was presented into an Alpinesque scenario as that’s the place my lad has most enjoyed his riding. However, certain aspects of the pic didn’t work for me, so after several discussions we came up with what i wanted different in it…. It was more trees, different colours and integrating Les Gets red into town.

It took a couple of minor edits again (he’s a patient boy) and we have the finished article which is now being sent out to print/framing in 80cm x 60cm to be mounted on the wall

It’s absolutely perfect now IMO and has been a brilliant experience getting it done.

Finally got this hung. It’s straighter than the pic portrays and a LOT bigger…

Heavy bugger, so we needed better hooks for it etc.
