More ClusterFunk!

Another in the series of ClusterFunk posters! As you can see this one is Issue 4, and will hopefully carry on to be along lasting series of posters...... as long as the boys can keep on top of things, and keep on getting those gigs!

Hopefully they will be having a few up Bristol way, so my poster artwork will be traveling up the line a little bit!

This poster was hand drawn first, and then touched up in Photoshop...... i love touching things up!

New Work

Just starting to sort out a load of new work at the moment. Got loads of photos to sift through as source material, and i've just started making some sketches of what i want to do.

Here's one of the first finished sketches of a view of Lands End, from just above the rope bridge that's there. It's just a basic idea at the moment of how i want these landscapes to look. i want some of them to look quite minimal with some silhouetted shapes thrown in!

This sketch was created using spray paint and Posca pen on A3 paper.

Take Me Away From The Wind And The Rain.

Finally got this painting finished the other week, it had been sitting in the studio nearly finished for a while! Got it finished in time to put into Newlyn Gallery's Art Sale For Haiti exhibition.

I think the sale raised about £8000 in total, which all went to help the people of Haiti.

This painting was created using spray paint, acrylic paint and Posca pens on canvas.

Carnival of Love.

This was a bit of an experiment with some of the shapes i've used in the past on my StreetGraf paintings, where i took peoples tags from around the streets and stylized them! Was trying to make it look like some of the shapes you might find at the fair ground, especially the waltzers!

This was made using spray paint and Posca Pen on card and paper.

I did it as a gift for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day! Think it worked quite well, might have to do a bit more experimenting with the shapes and the spray paint too. Not bad for a first go though!

Original Poster Art work.

'Jesus, not more about this Souls of Mischief poster!'

Sorry guys, but there won't be much more as the gig is nearly upon us! I'm really excited about this poster, and about the gig too...... it's gonna be huge!

This is the original artwork for the poster, before i added any text, info or logos to it.

Again, it has been made using spray paint, acrylic and posca pens on A0 paper. I'll get it mounted shortly, ready for it to be framed by whoever eventually buys it!

Some Old Bits!

These are some old bits of work that i've only really just got photographed properly! They were originally designs for the Jack's Cow project that i worked on last year.

These were the original designs that i had to submit to Newquay Airport to see if i was on the same wavelength as them!

In the end, i used the first image on one side of the cow, and another image of St. Michael's Mount for the other side.

These originals were made using Posca Pen and Acrylic Paint on A1 paper, which have since been mounted ready to be framed.

I didn't get a decent photo of the one of St. Michael's Mount, as i sold it to Andy and Rachael from the Bakehouse in Penzance!

Extra Bits!

Just had to put some finishing touches to the Souls Of Mischief artwork. There's a flyer being produced now, so i had to do an extra bit of artwork for the back of the flyer.

I've been taking loads of photos recently, with a view to turning them into paintings. I'm really excited about some of them, and can't wait to get started on designing and painting these new images! I've got some experimenting to do with spray paint and composition, and then i can get cracking!

It's half term at the moment, so i've been at home with Jack a lot this week. Not got much done apart from playing on the Wii, and now my whole body aches! I was trying to read an article on artist Tim Biskup this morning in the latest Juxtapoze magazine, but got very distracted by the noise of Jack playing his Rabbids game! I should have just got up and gone out of the room really! Back to the studio next week, and sorting through photos for new paintings!
