EMO in Council Estate

This is a fun photograph that I took a long while ago. The lettering have since been painted over and is no more. That's the aspect of such grafitti that I enjoy so much, the disposable and often temporaryness of it all.

Three old snapshots of my visual notebooks.

These three images are a few years old but I think that they all belong here. It was these kind of drawings that gave me my place on Foundation in Art and Design. I have upto 180 of these little babies and alot of appear on Tee-Shirts.

I stopped this sideline project due to illness and general indifference but I have started again and made up three brand new spankers. The ringpull design has been made up and looks great.

The chord chart is an instant hit number one maker and is yours for free. Make your research and find out how many songs made it to the top spot with variencies of that sequence. Happy hunting.

Dark Water collage

I am influenced by Japanese and Chinese design and this simple collage shows the purity and minimalism that is so prevalent in such art.

The Japanese have many stories that belongs to the element-water. Hence films such as Dark Water, Spiral and The Ring. This collage highlights the relationships between light/dark, hard/soft etc.

Decollage in the Northern Quarter, MCR

These two photos show the accidental decollage that can be seen in Manchester. I have been informed that an artist/writer made a series of street decollage and put them all in a book, Jonathon Miller. I just can't find the book at the moment. It is always on loan, same with the Alan Fletcher books.

These are part of a side project using macro settings and street lights. I am trying to achieve a rain and car light type effect.

Self-portrait in the style of Instructional Design

I have been working on this kind of painting for quite a while now. It might be a little egocentric to use your own image within a compostion but, what the heck.

As with the Mother image, I especially bought the red for it's luminosity. The wood again, is from the local greengrocers and I intended to use this medium to it's full effect.

The image on the right is the underside of the fruit box.

Mother image painted onto plywood

This is the first painted outcome of one of my designs for components of my test collage. I am using the deconstucted empty plywood boxes of imported fruit for the end-project.

The acrylics that I have used for this painting is of the highest quality hence the luminescence of the red.
