Hi all,
I haven't posted new work on here for a while so thought I'd start a thread with some new work.
Here's a couple let me know what you think. I'll try and update with more paintings in the near future.

[jusdeep]

The top one is very nice Doc, not so taken by the more abstract one, but good to see a slightly different direction.

[Joseph Loughborough]

yes doc! im gonna go with the abstract one as my preferance!im all for losing form here and there!

[Joseph Loughborough]

glad ya likin the drops! was gonna put one by your street piece near hoxton square take a pic and send it to ya but it had gone!!!!dow

[angel41]

Hi Doc. Top one is excellent. Think it's my favourite piece of yours so far. The 2nd one is very good too.

[Collection 1]

i like it very much!

[moleman]

top one great love tht it has extra detail

[Heavyconsumer]

I love the slightly more abstract images Danny. Although I tend to like most of your work to be honest! I think with the money some of us drop on prints, it's madness that so many lovely OGs of yours are available at Edge. Keep up the great work mate, I know there are many of us who love seeing it.

[Mish Mash]

Both are really nice. Think the eyes in the first one make me feel for the piece.

[vorzero]

Great work Doc, like the first best.... second is good too =)

[Danny O'Connor]

Thanks 4 all the comments.
Here's another new piece.

I've been thinking ther same thing. This piece does look a bit Choe-inspired. Not a bad thing as I'm a huge fan of Choe's. Quite a change from the more usual DOC style Danny! Again not a bad thing - always cool to see you guys mixing it up and feeling your way. I think any half decent artist is normally interested in trying new things. Good luck with the work mate!

New piece showed up the other day, and after paying the evil tax bill accompanying it, I'm thoroughly looking forward to getting it up. Just trying to work out where's best for it at the moment. Thanks again man (and to Mike@Edge of course - great service as usual)!

[Danny O'Connor]

Thanks jean-pascal and HC. I guess this does have a Choe feel to it, he does like his female profiles. The actual inspiration for this came from a stencil of Erykah Badu given to me by fellow artist Martin Watson. I was basically looking for something to paint in a quick impressionistic kind of style and had his piece to hand.

I do like to mix it up you're right, I've been doing a fair few characters and semi abstract portraits lately so felt like a change. You may be surprised with what I come up with next. Watch this thread 4 updates! Bet U can hardly contain yourselves Or not!!!!

[Dellboyy]

See you're still mixing the old styles there! Really liking the abstract, the third piece has to be my fav though... liking the messy style!

[Danny O'Connor]

Mixed Media on 36x36inch/91x91cm Canvas. "Love Is A Dangerous Game"

Playing with a more Graphic approach with bits of typography and layering of different images. Still tryna keep a painterly feel to it though. Think I might run with this kind of technique and introduce some different types of subject matter.

[Collection 1]

Wow ! great composition! very nice work DOC!

[Bram]

Good move, I like it.

[Gentry]

Good to see a range of approaches. I really like the third one.

[bs]

yep, certainly keeping us entertained mate and great to see such a range of different styles,loving how you work is going at present

[Heavyconsumer]

Excellent piece Danny. The subject matter isn't my cup of tea, but the linework is great and the composition of the piece is really nice. It looks to have depth and a deceiving/distorted perspective, with the background and foreground almost interchanging as you look at it.

[Danny O'Connor]

Thanks again everyone I think I'm going to run with this layering technique for a while but would like to broaden my range of subject matter in this style. May try some urban landscapes and street scenes as well as my usual portraits and characters.

[snelj8]

Sent you a pm Doc - great pieces!

[Chris Keegan]

love the skull face, much more intriguing mark making and depth to that one.

[Danny O'Connor]

Been on this the last few days, Mixed Media on 100x50cm/40x20inch Canvas. Title: "The Longer I Think The harder It Gets"
Not sure whether to build into this a bit more with some subtle layering or leave it as it is.

[snelj8]

Another great piece, nice the way it is! This one kinda reminds me of Conor Harrington. Especially like the line work on this one, particular the folds on the arms.

[Danny O'Connor]

Acrylic, Emulsion, Spraypaint and Chalkboard paint on 36x36inch/91x91cm Canvas.
Title: Window To The Soul

[Dellboyy]

Good stuff again, really liking The Longer I Think The harder It Gets, love the build up of layers with the clock face!

Agreed, first time I've seen this - good stuff Danny.

Really like 'Window to the Soul' as well, very captivating.

As always, looking forward to the next...
