Team Enemy: Blackbook Projects

September 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment

This is a project set up on Flickr photo sharing. You can find out more by following this link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/teamenemy/

It involves many artists from around the world drawing or pasting their art into a notebooks and posting the notebook on to the next artist. I suppose this is the closest thing to a chain mail that I have ever participated in.  I am not sure what I wanted to get out of it, but I liked the collaborative ethos of the project. I have no images of the work I entered as yet but here is a link to a slide show of other peoples images.  http://www.flickr.com/groups/teamenemy/pool/show/

This was a project completed this year by a number of hard working youths. Under supervision they designed and painted a great backdrop for the Cherry Orchard Festival. Well done to everyone involved.

I thought the festival was a great success.

Creating a proof for an extra large print.

July 9th, 2008 | 1 Comment

This print took a lot longer and was a lot more work than I imagined it would be. This is the largest print I have ever attempted (2 meters long). It took many proofs until I started to feel happy with it.

Its in the detail…at least I think it is.

A lot of my work would try to deal with humanity’s crulety. I have borrowed heavily from Goya, Hogarth and other artists work because not that much has changed in some regards. I recycle and reference their work in order to create my own messages.

The plan is that as I progress in teaching I will upload more and more on to this site.
