Wow, i've been a bit slack with my Blog posts of late, with the last one being posted in July 2011! Now that is slack! But with a new year, comes new energy, new beliefs (God knows what happened at the start of 2012!), and a kick up the arse to pull my finger out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, since my last post, i've produced loads of art work including an exhibition celebrating 10 years of being an artist in Cornwall, having my first piece of work produced on vinyl, decorating a barbers shop, done live painting for the first time, moved house twice, recorded new music for the first time with my band Love Fungus, appeared on TV twice, played at a big rock festival in London, met Steve Lamacq, had Christmas dinner with James May in August, and celebrated my 40th birthday at Bestival with Stevie Wonder!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a visual snap shot of all that happened! </div>

We were called Love Fungus, and we played very short punky, pop, rock songs!

Their idea was to paint a large brain, and fill it with words that related to the effects that smoking marajuana has on the brain.

Before the young people arrived to help with painting, we sectioned the other wall up into blocks of colour, so that members of the public could have a go at spraying words about what they thought of the mural. This worked out pretty well, and everybody that had a go at painting really enjoyed themselves, and loved the fact that they were involved in painting a mural. Here's some more photos documenting the days progress.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

The MAKN trade mark silhouettes will be included in the final design, with them sitting down on the benches so that you can sit next to them or even on them!

Above is a first idea i had, taken from Kieran's blog post titled 'Monsters Of Rock (Pools)'. The idea then progressed to some kind of creature made of seaweed, looking up, and praising the moon and the lunar tides that dictate it's life! Below is a draft, close to the final image that was used for the final piece, minus Kieran's words. You'll be able to see the finished article at the show at Trebah Gardens!</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG_Gga45rEeEHtqVpUeAXd7OIEkgWVoV9TSOoqiGPz1lt6V6mQ8qRocs43C0SxJsnTR1Evekp4OlqhVokpOFTsCJPc7FQkiaQ1vdjexse7ByyyO0_jcBMEOiK7h2xvlLOXB-Puwe8zaBo/s320/Seaweed%2527s+Forever+Love+Letterimageweb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620676275491308290" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div>mat mcivorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733108804203057199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907952127565801726.post-47063648948291077712011-05-18T07:22:00.001-07:002011-05-18T11:46:32.736-07:00Night Club Mural / Dynamite Hip Hop.<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAmNzK89XchFBV6u2vSn-qohU2vwNpXYB5qshGCUzuaZUiczleQl6Ia4SZ6Ziw2FTY_iY7XkQ032UT4FBFBv_cK7AFCUfkUt5Fjn8ip93nvtnkhO4FNE1ESObUEOB92ZIsg9YK2fyZDFw/s1600/a6a17c817bb76618f7cc74758f6f416a.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4a24tyFYrnN9CVFc2I_iWS8HbSf-OS89A96VRiQHw_JgCifvlpx3FOzOT0pIjE1PjkSrZca1sGCdMUCNHRRVPgOeb3WoDQ8SXrr3UDbFBfwF-s_4NCxG_1jh6NbEmQWf_NZpUL8EqvQ/s1600/soundmural1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 74px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4a24tyFYrnN9CVFc2I_iWS8HbSf-OS89A96VRiQHw_JgCifvlpx3FOzOT0pIjE1PjkSrZca1sGCdMUCNHRRVPgOeb3WoDQ8SXrr3UDbFBfwF-s_4NCxG_1jh6NbEmQWf_NZpUL8EqvQ/s320/soundmural1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608061761970489538" /></a>I was asked a few weeks ago by my friends Paul and Charlie at Sound Night Club in Penzance, if i would like to have a go at doing some kind of painting in Room 2 of the club. This room is normally used for Dynamite Hip Hop nights, and they wanted a kind of urban feel going on. Initially they wanted something on the front of the bar, and on the front of the new DJ booth that was going to be installed.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAmNzK89XchFBV6u2vSn-qohU2vwNpXYB5qshGCUzuaZUiczleQl6Ia4SZ6Ziw2FTY_iY7XkQ032UT4FBFBv_cK7AFCUfkUt5Fjn8ip93nvtnkhO4FNE1ESObUEOB92ZIsg9YK2fyZDFw/s320/a6a17c817bb76618f7cc74758f6f416a.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608064659245179874" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px; " /></span></div><div>My first idea was to do a design that involved a skyline silhoutte of Penzance that went around the front of the bar, and also went around the front of DJ booth (under construction in the photo above!) aswell.

I needed something else, so i decided to use the telegraph poles i used to use in old paintings, and the clouds that i've been doing in recent ones! I then decided i needed to come up with something that was in keeping with the musical connections to the venue, so i had a crack at a stack of old vintage speakers. So now i had the elements for the mural, all i needed to do was make them fit into the space and make it look good!

We carried out the painting on the roof of Burger King in Newquay in the beautiful sunshine of Easter week!

The latest one being for Akil the MC, who was back in town after a stomping gig last year. This time around i did a poster for the gig down here, and also a UK Tour poster too.

It's a pretty massive space to tackle by yourself, but it's nice to just crack on sometimes and plug your MP3 player in and blast out some music to help you work! It's also a way to avoid talking to the general public too when you have your headphones in! Now, i'm not saying i don't like the general public, it's just that they can hinder your progress by asking very stupid questions when you're working out in public!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-0Ff2iwFJdAJz1lf6TxiufehMbuDndHeNjZa-vbpFqvElC-lmY-RiD9WC4STR-9qEkB60CuHz9G6Z58tPtIZYF4vg5ROPBZGMq85SUgDnFP2wRlSSY1IZbfYnS37QAZNHo7lyWxBr-GM/s1600/NQY1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533104739790213698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-0Ff2iwFJdAJz1lf6TxiufehMbuDndHeNjZa-vbpFqvElC-lmY-RiD9WC4STR-9qEkB60CuHz9G6Z58tPtIZYF4vg5ROPBZGMq85SUgDnFP2wRlSSY1IZbfYnS37QAZNHo7lyWxBr-GM/s320/NQY1.jpg" /></a> The amount of people that came up to me while i was painting on the wall and asked me 'What you doing?' was unbelievable!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZMI7V5RAo8fT8dRPd_2ZDkQdln10JxaBSghz0Va22zAapfBMOI8PPYqmkWiW4zbpO1EIQnhucmwN6sozeJrHNHvQ5-V2XP85lW5fR7gwyWHrq43DrYaFMdROX1XTqTJVV0_FsQTcISA/s1600/NQY2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533104593615804946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZMI7V5RAo8fT8dRPd_2ZDkQdln10JxaBSghz0Va22zAapfBMOI8PPYqmkWiW4zbpO1EIQnhucmwN6sozeJrHNHvQ5-V2XP85lW5fR7gwyWHrq43DrYaFMdROX1XTqTJVV0_FsQTcISA/s320/NQY2.jpg" /></a> So, with the distractions of the daft general public foiled by the use of noise cancelling headphones, it was time to crack on and get the wall ready for yet another mass painting session. To get it to the right state, i needed to have all of the colour painted onto the wall, and 2 coats of it too. To help me with this tall order, i was lucky to have the help of another artist form Newquay called Chelsea. She had kindly volunteered to help out, so that she could gain some experience from working on a public art project on such a large scale.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FlG3llH0GZlYMp6Cmlt8veesECcXq_VfIVcbOm2ezpnvOY9N0Ue9YxCISQ-Cm7imkywAW0DnhwrYpURde9IxE7F4uw1_6xr2gszZxf8E9P6meIs1hZccNd__ZM2Qe56reYVG1tgI_98/s1600/NQY4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533104391406989890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FlG3llH0GZlYMp6Cmlt8veesECcXq_VfIVcbOm2ezpnvOY9N0Ue9YxCISQ-Cm7imkywAW0DnhwrYpURde9IxE7F4uw1_6xr2gszZxf8E9P6meIs1hZccNd__ZM2Qe56reYVG1tgI_98/s320/NQY4.jpg" /></a> For a couple of days, myself and Chelsea plodded on, colouring in the spaces and trying to stay within the lines!

The main core of the group that i'd been working with consisted of about 5-6 people, but i was expecting a few more to turn up...... but i wasn't prepared for nearly 20!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVV7JtxRVfLgQOMdc7zJRx3gZ-zdKzOvFtgCG3P-4cpJqvjS1vx9Nf_dSofVTGwwY60ljdoMGCCHK-6vqUn__Wfz_P7VeZszjojy6kik1djssVp7RoblDxZ1UfxQ2Gx9iQ-57AdjpT9c/s1600/NQY6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVV7JtxRVfLgQOMdc7zJRx3gZ-zdKzOvFtgCG3P-4cpJqvjS1vx9Nf_dSofVTGwwY60ljdoMGCCHK-6vqUn__Wfz_P7VeZszjojy6kik1djssVp7RoblDxZ1UfxQ2Gx9iQ-57AdjpT9c/s320/NQY6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532500113452401842" border="0" /></a>With every body wanting to help out with the painting, i had to co ordinate everyone to make sure they all had a brush, were all in a position to paint, and that they all had the right colour paint for their particular part of the wall!

It's been a pretty full on couple of months regarding the My A'th Kar NQY project i've been working on, but Phase One of the mural painting part of the project has got underway. After a couple of photo opportunities with the local press (see cheesy photo above), I spent a good few days preparing the wall and white washing it, in readiness for drawing out the design.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheaoqkppXHo8i5zOZfD6H8Cl1Kq1CLebjSZCxRpQVPpT2VThgeaGEbuGB90X1tU_LCOQljRUF-rpD1ac82aN2XG7G4QugZ5i_gwLRrntHNGm0qJBggDI4G5-UiQII0AOfCi2JJR637L30/s1600/NQY.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheaoqkppXHo8i5zOZfD6H8Cl1Kq1CLebjSZCxRpQVPpT2VThgeaGEbuGB90X1tU_LCOQljRUF-rpD1ac82aN2XG7G4QugZ5i_gwLRrntHNGm0qJBggDI4G5-UiQII0AOfCi2JJR637L30/s320/NQY.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532451247779820226" border="0" /></a>Somehow, i've got to try and recreate the above design which was finally reached after weeks of workshops with the the group of youngsters.
