Hi everyone... Again I am sorry for not posting anything since last year, but so much has happened, and I am more than happy to share... First of all I am back freelancing, which I am happy with, as I get to spend more time working on my photography and digital artwork. But I am now pursuing new ideas and ventures. My first venture is Scribe videos. For those that are unfamiliar with the concept, basically a video that can advertise your business venture through movement and creativity. With this I have created a video to advertise Claire's Tea Rooms, situated in the Burnley, Lancashire. The idea was to promote the business and created something new that would outshine the other business's with the Charter Walk Market. I was happy with the outcome and so was the client who has had more views and likes on her Facebook page. Please feel free to check out her Facebook page and check out the video below :) xx With this having such good reviews and comments, I then proc...

Hi guys, Again I have not written on here for some time know due to issues at home and work commitments. From my last post, I mentioned that I was the official photographer for the Kelbrook Tractor Run, which I have to say was pretty awesome! Loads of vintage tractors and the run from Kelbrook and over the Yorkshire Dales was amazing. I was absolutely grateful for the experience and met some great people.  If you would like to see the rest of my photos, please look on my website, under Kelbrook Tractor Run 2014, on www.tonihaythornwhitephotography-art.weebly.com At the moment, I am wanting to experiment with different forms of photography, for example fashion photography,  but finding it hard to get models at the moment. Hope to write back soon :) x

Hi there, Cant believe I have not written anything for more than six months... a lot has happened and I am more than happy to fill you in :) x As of April, I managed to get a job, as a Digital Content Editor at a digital and television agency in Lancashire, where I have worked on many videos promoting businesses in Burnley, Lancashire, which are on youtube and Vimeo. With this job it has been really hard to concentrate on my digital painting, but with some long weekends and determination I have managed to pull off my fifth Digital Painting, Frankenstein's Monster. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a big horror nut, and Hammer Horror and Universal Monsters are no exception. With Boris Karloff being my absolute favourite, I took it apon myself to create a "Monster" of a painting and here it is... I am extremely happy with the result and I have had many complements about the likeness and I am so happy with the result that I have had this made into a poster for...

It has been quite a while since I wrote on here and also posted a digital painting, this is down to some circumstances that I have had to deal with and now I am back on the ball with the digital paintings... So here it is.... I am extremely pleased with the result and think this is the best painting so far... I am really happy with the textures that I have managed to produced from using different brushes within photoshop. Also the main objective was to add more detail than I normally do, which I believe I have done within the body suit and the details within the face. Any feedback would be appreciated and I hope to be continuing with the project :) * All rights to the original image (Movie Poster) belong to Len Wiseman, Lakeshore Entertainment  and Screen Gems

It has been a while since I have written on here, and also the progress of my Digital Painting has been lacking, due to looking for work and other commitments :) So for the start of the Underworld Project, I have decided to paint the character Selene ( Kate Beckinsale) from the underworld 2 poster Here is my progress so far... At the moment I am quite happy with the result, I feel more can be done on the hair by giving more definition and realistic looks. Overall the face features look ok from looking at the poster frequently... I am hoping to finish this piece by the end of this week as I am trying to complete this project by Christmas, as I have more Ideas for my Digital Paintings. Will write back with progress later :) xxx

After my last successful Digital Painting, I have decided to take on a Digital Painting Project, based on my all time favourite film saga: Underworld. For this I am going to choose my favourite characters from the movies and digitaly paint them: . Michael Sheen: Lucian . Kate Beckinsale: Selene . Bill Nighy: Viktor . Lycan These characters will be a mix from all four films and hopefully produce a cracking result. I hope to make weekly reports on how the paintings are going and if any problems arise... I have to say this is one project that I am extremely looking foward too... Wish me luck lol :) x Toni xx
