Back in the studio. Working on number 5 of the 3ftx2ft charcoal drawings. Series, Turmoil speaks from my subconscious touching on the precarious situation we find ourselves. Balance, tipping points, mark making, #martincoxstudio
Lost at sea, Eli Johnson (I), charcoal drawing, daily drawing
Charcoal sea, charcoal sky. Shipping forecast. My uncle and great grandfather were both sailors and it kind of rubbed off. My uncle came back from his time at sea with an enormous collection of photographs of vessels. #charcoaldrawing #britishsailors
Some days are rougher than others. #dailydrawing #charcoaldrawing #martincoxstudio Growing up in British port had itβs advantages
Storm at sea, π daily sketches. #charcoaldrawing #martincoxstudio Iβm clearly influenced by the 19th century maritime art surrounding me growing up on the Uk coast and absorbing it in to contemporary works in a variety of media.
Daily drawing cures most ailments. I restarted at the end of May. #dailydrawing #charcoaldrawing #sktechpad #martincoxstudio
Alarm!
I am happy to announce that I have two photographs in the Dutch publication ARTDOC photography Magazine in their newest issue The Meditative Lens out now. (The image on their link is not mine)

The morning after Titanic. Casein paint and conte crayon on braille notice about healthcare. April 2025, #martincoxstudio (113 years ago today) #southamptonartist #maritimeart #titanic
I meant to write Splitting Knife, but itβs an interesting mistake conjuring up new images.
βSpitting Knife Channelβ, casein on printed page, 7βx 5β #martincoxstudio 2025. Iβm finishing some pieces for the upcoming Brewery Artwalk, Los Angeles. May 3&4 @breweryartwalk.bsky.social
That summer I got to return to the scene. I exhibited images from Terra Figmenta in The Fish Factory in Djupavik Iceland curated by Emilie Dalum. The factory long abandoned, complete with wrecked ship outside was a startling and evocative to show work. #iceland #djupavik #contemporaryphotography
From series, Terra Figmenta, 12x12" #martincoxstudio shot on film using dodgy Diana camera with TriX film. Tide is out in the fjord but water is everywhere. #dianacamera #landscapephotography #contemporaryphotography
