In Dussledorf and Bonn painting for a week or so and I wondered if any one out there had hook ups in town? Looking for local painters who can advise me, point out some spots and generally fill in the gaps. I Have some places to paint but seem to have some free time too. If you can help please use the contact form on this site to drop me a line, be good to find some friendly faces.
So this month is silk screen month, lots of cloth being printed for various locations. Nice to be printing with the boys from Another Fine Mesh down in Lewes again. More info to follow over the next few days.
Mucking around on the canal today, cold but warm in the rum!
Mucking around with Teners, know there’s been a few..but fancied having a play myself , this is an early test spray. The idea came from reading an article on counterfeits on the BBC website that during checking” Notes are also screened for graffiti and if there is any sticky tape, the machine measures the surface area to determine if the note is too old and tatty to put back into circulation” The idea of notes getting buffed is funny, made me want to leave a mark, comes as an edition of 100 at a cost £20 each 😉
Playing with exquisite corpse stencils
Unique canvas 105cm x 75cm
The work was created using photographs taken in the modified Mighty Booth
at the Royal Academy of Art on the 19th of February 2011 for the Club
Monaco UK launch.
These photographs were cut and pasted, in a manor based loosely on the
Exquisite corpse technique invented by Surrealists, at the beginning
of the 20th century. The work will be auctioned at Sotherby’s on the 22nd of March, the proceeds going to the Royal Academy of Art.
In these austere times none of us can afford to leave that dam Oyster card on the mirror or Cd case at whichever den of iniquity, rubbing salt into the wounds of an already expensive evening out on the tiles. 86mm x 54mm plastic cards edition of 250.
So, tidying up the studio and trying to organise the place for a hopefully imminent move, i came across a number of the old Cans Festival posters from Banksy’s Leake Street event back in 2008. So seeing as they were so popular the first time round i decided to do a second edition. Its an edition of 25 numbered signed and blind stamped and available here. Price is £150 and they are going fast even before i post this.
