Kames Motorsport Race Day 2026 – A Fantastic Day of Speed and Community Spirit There is something truly special about spending a day at Kames Motorsport Complex. Nestled just outside Muirkirk in Ayrshire, the venue once again played host to an exciting Race Day July 2026, bringing together drivers, families and petrol heads for a brilliant celebration of motorsport. From the moment the engines fired into life, there was a real buzz around the circuit. Spectators were treated

Fresh Off the Easel… But Will They Make the Final Exhibition? The studio has been buzzing over the past month, with another exciting collection of paintings now complete as I continue preparing for my upcoming “From Lens to Line” exhibition this October. There’s always a special moment when a painting leaves the easel for the first time. After hours of planning, experimenting, layering paint, and making those final finishing touches, it’s time to step back and see the finishe

The World Cup Has Arrived at Arttoon! Over the past month, something exciting has been happening here at the Arttoon Studio — the world has been visiting! As the football fever builds and the World Cup brings nations together, I’ve been watching visitors from across the globe stopping by my website to discover my artwork. From football fans searching for their favourite Scotland players, to art lovers simply enjoying bold, colourful and creative paintings, it has been fantast

A New Direction in Texture, Colour and Expression As an artist, I’m always exploring new ways to push my work forward, challenge my creativity, and discover fresh approaches to capturing the world around me. My latest collection of paintings marks an exciting step in that journey, as I’ve been immersing myself in the expressive and wonderfully unpredictable world of palette knife painting. For this new body of work, I wanted to move away from precision and allow texture, move

Originally created in 2015, The World of Roald Dahl mural at East Kilbride Arts Centre has remained a distinctive and much-loved feature within the space. Inspired by the imagination, humour, and slightly mischievous spirit of Roald Dahl’s storytelling, the mural was designed to bring a sense of narrative play and visual excitement into the arts centre environment.

This large-scale mural project was created as a celebration of the Commonwealth Games, bringing together sport, Scottish landscape, and community participation into one unified artwork.

While much of the world had its eyes firmly fixed on the World Cup, for one day my attention was focused elsewhere — at Paisley Comic Con.

This book is something very personal to me because it brings together a side of my artwork that has always been about one thing above all else — making art fun, accessible and full of personality.

Football has a way of creating moments that stay with us forever. For Scotland fans, John McGinn celebrating a goal against Haiti at the World Cup is one of those unforgettable snapshots of pride, passion, and pure emotion. This painting was created to capture exactly that feeling.

There’s something special in the air right now… the world is buzzing with the excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and with the energy building for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, it feels like sport is bringing people together in a way only great events can.

As an artist, I’ve always believed that creativity doesn’t begin and end with a paintbrush. Sometimes inspiration comes through a camera lens — in those fleeting moments where light, colour, architecture, and atmosphere all come together to tell a story. My recent photographic journey through Newcastle reminded me exactly why I love capturing the world around me.

There’s something special about stepping outside the classroom and taking creativity into the real world, and that’s exactly what we did recently with our Photography Class on a day trip to the beautiful canal paths of Kirkintilloch.

Is Newcastle a City in Scotland?

What a fantastic day drawing in Newcastle and my Pens were unleashed on the Comic Con organised by Unleashed Events.

Scotland v Denmark – Capturing Football History on Canvas As both an artist and a lifelong believer in the power of storytelling through colour, there are certain moments that deserve more than just photographs or fleeting memories. They deserve to be captured in a way that keeps the emotion alive forever. That was exactly the inspiration behind my latest collection – a series of four paintings celebrating Scotland’s unforgettable performances against Denmark, moments that ha

The Art of Photography — Seeing the World Through a Different Lens For most of my creative life, people have known me primarily as a painter — creating bold, vibrant artworks filled with colour, energy, and emotion. From landscapes and portraits to murals, exhibitions, and commissioned pieces, art has always been my way of interpreting the world around me. But creativity rarely stays in one place. Alongside painting, another passion has quietly been evolving over the years —P

Art has always been more than paint on a canvas to me. It has been a way of telling stories, capturing moments, and sometimes simply making people smile. Somewhere along that creative journey, Arttoons were born.

It's been a busy end to the week preparing for the first big Comic Con of 2023 and I've created 2 NEW Paintings inspired by The Last of Us. These 2 pictures will be available to buy at the Event or you can buy from my Website and delivery is free in Scotland. For future Events I will be allowing Customers to Reserve their Art and then collect on the Day.
