Happenings!

Lots going on atm, none of which i've got time to do as quickly as i'd like!

First of all, i'm finally getting round to throwing a site together for myself. It'll involve a blog & shop amongst other things, so this place and the bigcartel site will be getting retired!

Secondly, i'm working on acrylic versions of my shadowy face style, hopefully to give a bit more depth and detail. The first one should be a shadowy but recognisable celeb i was going to do for a little comp on deviantart, but never got round to.

Finally, i've bought myself a funky little gocco print machine, so coming soon i'll have a few little print editions! Here's one quick concept i've put together to give you an idea of direction, the idea being i'll throw some colour on the paper before a one layer print, giving each that unique look!



Watch this space!

The Minotaur

The Minotaur, a set on Flickr.

Here are a few pics from my visit to The Minotaur show at the Old Vic Tunnels last week... more to come!

St.Philips Church, Cambridge

Here are some better pics of my piece from the boardings outside St.Philips Church in Cambridge, as organised by Blight Society.

A church in Cambridge & some old stencils.

Last week i popped down to Cambridge again to paint some bordings next to a church for Blight Society, which unlike the last trip to Ely ended up being a stupidly hot and sunny day. Since we had a nice churchy theme going, my piece for a change wasn't in the slightest dark or depressing! :-)

I had to leave before everything around me had been finished, so am still waiting for a complete image, but here are a couple to be going on with. My parts were the sunset scene & stone cherub.






Also, i'm currently having a bit of a clearout, and was about to chuck a load of stencils away when i thought i'd have a play with them instead. So here we a quick experiment using a three later stencil, lightly sprayed & overlayed with a bit of a gap between them. You can see the layered effect better in the second pic. I might do something a bit funkier with the other stencils, so watch this space!

Blight Society Collab wall in Ely

I recently had a little trip over to Ely to help doodle on a wall as organised by Blight Society.

I'd not actually planned anything for this one, and since the owner of the wall had seen & requested my stone lions anyway, i thought it would be a good chance to reuse them!

So inbetween dashing inside to avoid the bouts of torrential rain i managed to the get following pieces up!






These stone lions heads are based on a fountain i took images of in Prague. All the stone architecture over there inspired me to try a bit of a series, which ended up starting with these two heads. The series is based on the four elements, these being Fire & Earth. I've done a couple of variations of these now, so on to Air and/or Water next!
