Diamonds, I Want Diamonds

Diamonds, I Want Diamonds

Digital sketch on iPad — Limited Edition Print

This piece is a tongue-in-cheek nod to 21st-century attitudes, a commentary on how quickly people, some people, expect everything and often for nothing. 'Diamonds, I Want Diamonds' plays with that mix of irony and desire, reflecting a world obsessed with instant gratification and surface sparkle. Bold, expressive strokes and scrawled text give it a sense of urgency, part joke, part truth — and entirely of the moment.

Diamonds, I Want Diamonds is part of my ongoing series Sketchy Thoughts — a playful, evolving body of work that parodies the kind of ‘art’ we see for sale today. It’s a spontaneous visual diary of what I see and feel around me, created entirely on my iPad — in the bath, on a plane, in the car, or on a beach somewhere — capturing thoughts before they slip away. Each piece is sparked by a passing sentiment, a song, or a fleeting idea, turning quick impressions into lasting images.

Together, the works in Sketchy Thoughts explore humour, perception, and the immediacy of everyday thought — quick, expressive, and rooted in the moment.
