Art in the Warehouse.

For about a month I've been working on this 20 foot long drawing. The piece is inspired by Tumblr, the way you can scroll forever on Tumblr and each image flows into each other is inspired by something that has caught my eye on Tumblr.

Drawings.

I've been drawing for ages now, its become the new watching telly for me. I'm getting quite good too, if I do say so myself. So much so I thought I should start actually advertise it. The first photo the newest and the lower you scroll the older there get.

lately I've been looking at a lot of front magazine and tattooed ladies, I like how their bodies their bodies come in all different sizes and shapes, so I've been inspired to draw them all. I didn't want to draw my own animals on their skin as their tattoos, but they were just practices so I didn't bother yet, maybe I will next time.



I love to use a lot of lines and dots to add detail and shading in to my images. This is ment to be a lotus  flower I guess you cant tell because theres no colour, but it's one of my favorite drawings just because of the contrast.



I love these drawings, in fact I've had the beetle tattooed, I got the tattooist to redraw the pincers, as I hate the ones I did but the rest I'm proud of. The wasp I may get on my foot.



If you hadn't noticed, I am very much inspired by tattooist such as Guy Le, Chris Collins and SO ON and SO ON! Though lately it's been less about the small tattoo-able images and about huge life drawing/ illustration as I like to call it pieces. I bought a sketch book for uni but instead I've started drawing the biggest pictures I can then creating huge patterns for the background.

defiantly takes up all my time but I love doing it.

Failed film!

Chapter Art's in Cardiff just held a Festival of Failure this weekend, they had stalls of s****y prizes, for example unlabeled tins and broken toys. I loved this idea, but I didn't play any of the carnival type games as I really didnt want to carry scrable peices around with me. Chapter also set up a contest  where groups of people had to create a film using this failure idea. They gave us a title (for us Goliath), a prop (for every one is was a fez) and a small, in a way instructions but also some diolog for our 2 - 5 minute film. 


Ever tried
Ever failed
No matter
Try again
Fail again
Fail better

(Sam Beckett, 1906 - 1989)


I was so excited when Angelo told us about this project, and it turned out to be as fun as I thought it would be. I was the actor in the film, Kris the camera man, Angelo and Charlie the creative minds though we all contributed too each area of the film. This is a photo of me before we filmed, I change a tiny bit though, I'm wearing Charlie's Docs and no mustache in the film. 


The film turned out to be amazing, with Angelo and Charlie working on the music, Kris on the editing of the film and Jetta, the dialogue. I turned it in today and I should be able to put the film on to this blog next week, after showing it in Chapter and maybe other places like Milgi and Cineworld. 


Really looking forward to doing more films like this again!!!

Jon Pountney Photographing WWW.

Jon Pountney is a Cardiff based photographer, he currently exhibiting 'Cardiff before Cardiff' in the Millenium Centre which you can catch at the moment until the 27th of May.

Jon is a brilliant photographer, he has captured the clutter effect I wanted to show in my exhibition   that I have not been able to achieve in my own photography.  He also got a shot of the one thing I had not noticed in my own exhibition and that every one else had. The Guess Who game had created question mark shadows on the bottle behind it, I've been wanted to take my own photos of this but I think Jon's are much better. 

I'm taking the exhibition down tomorrow and I really appreciate every one who came to the exhibition, particularly the ones who took photos.

Thank you.

Another busy day.

I really can't believe how hard I work sometimes, I know to some people I may seem to be the laziest person alive but when I want something done I will work none stop until I've finished it. Today it took me 8 hours none stop to finish my exhibition and I'm pretty sure I'd still be there now with out loads of help from charlie.



I was getting very tired and frustrated at first with the string as it kept not wanting to fall where I wanted it to or it would knock some other bits of string in a different direction, but two hours in and charlie had made it fun with her white hands and some how getting my finger up her nose as I tried feeding her yogurt raisins. Our friendship knows no boundaries HA.



I'm really pleased with the lighting I have created, with the white-ish walls of Milgi's warehouse the objects looks very eerie which is the effect I wanted to create. So I'm happy with that. We was thinking about painting the walls behind the exhibition but I'm so glad we didn't in the end as I love mess and the colourful, chipping paint works well with the random draping of the string.



Charlie's favorite object, which I really like as well. I'm really happy with the way I hung this shoe, I know it's really simple but I just find it really clever it's staying up because of the tongue. (sounds silly I know). I painted this shoe about 20 times before I thought it was done, because it's a black, fake suede the shoe for ever looks grey. But I got there in the end and I'm very happy with it.



This is my favorite photo of the exhibition, in fact the dolls house and the wheel are my favorite objects out of the millions I just painted and hung all day. After months of painting LOADS of every day objects I was really scared I wouldn't have enough to to exhibit by the end of the day I found out I had far to much. I came home with two huge shopping bags of cans and bottels. Oh well better to have more then less in this case. So The exhibition is open now until the 29th, I'll be in the warehouse from 18:00 until 22:00 every day. So I Hope you see you all soon.
