PAPER MAGAZINE FEATURE

2012-09-19T17:54:00.000+02:00

Paper is an Architectural Platform for Journals and Essays, that a couple months back, i was asked to write a segment for one of their books that was to be published and am delighted to receive a fabolously presented and packaged collection of books.

Page 56 is me, on Book No. 02, if you ever come across it.

Now you are thinking Architecture and me? How does this fit? Well the idea behind Paper was to

blend other platforms from various mediums, that all together hybrid into one collection of assorted inspirations, as they all have a somewhat link between each other somewhere down the line. Here i focus on the art side of it all with an article fashionably titled "An Endless Relationship". The article takes a look at how visual poetry and paintings, from the past, have led meaning and user engagement to be an important factor in its creation process. A process that still today is important as ever and is one of the most vital roles in the art and photography that i produce.

More journals, Essays and Articles can be read online here on there homepage:
http://paper-magazine.org/

The Published Paper Collective, totals 4 books, filled with articles, essays and journals can be bought from most books stores in the UK. RRP £10

DIGITAL ART + LONDON ANARCHY

2011-08-12T19:57:00.001+02:00

It was like Call of Duty! London really looked like a War Zone, seriously spent most of the day as the riots hit London on the phone to family and friends finding out where they are, and they were all terrified as some of my family were smack down in the middle of it!
Oh and a friend of mine (Zero) sent me this **WARNING** text at the beginning of the night, thought it was frighteningly sweet:

"And the sudden plunge in sullen swell,
as i take them all ten fathoms deep...
on the road to hell.
Be safe brothas, its gettin closer 2 yard!"
Quote from 'Bullet Storm'

On the news this morning this made me laugh in terms of poor attitude: Sky News interviewed 4 of the rioters who came to speak of what they did and why? Obviously fully masked and in Adidas branded ninja ware!

The Reporter asked the Rioters who Participated:
Interviewer: "Do you feel anything now, after watching on all of whats happened?
Rioter Participant: "No, not really as I'm watching it on my new plasma"
...

That aside i thought today Friday 12th is a fitting day for my next piece to submit as it just so happens there's a Perseids Meteor Shower at Moon light!, tonight. Okay so i have never seen one, and don't even know if i could see it from where i am, but the thought of seeing stars shooting across kept into my mind, lighting up the sky. Yeah i so don't mind being lost staring at that.
Heres a link about it: Perseids Meteor Shower

So i spent i think 8 hours on this ... "Moon Kiss"

I have also written up a quick Work In Progress W.I.P, Please note that this is not a tutorial as it would take ages to write one, that i actually don't have that much time or even know where to begin. So you may find this helpful as you will get to see the stages in how i usually normally work with Digital Art Paintings and photography in general. Please note this is quick and excuse something you may not like about it :(

RANDOM SKETCHES

2011-01-22T15:51:00.000+01:00

Golden Globes was on last night, was watching it this morning, and the award goes to... 'The Social Network', 'The Fighter', and the 'Glee clubbers' of whom cleaned up most of them. Oh yeah Robert De Niros' tribute, and each actors, public defamation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association :) haha.

On the other hand been watching alot of Planet Hulk, they keep showing it on Movies, and yet i keep watching it, for no reason what so ever, perhaps i am enthralled by the green monster, and his uncontrollable rage, or perhaps there's nothing else on TV, to satisfy, my visual pleasure, and gratitude to other peoples work of art!

I have a test shoot planned today with my friend, am looking forward to it, so for the time being here's some **digital sketches** i have done recently:

This is a flower from my garden. God this was so Red!...

Stowaways, out from sea...

2011-01-15T17:51:00.000+01:00

Did not take me long to this, and do like how the orb i drew at the bottom corner turned out, not sure if you can see it, it's the part her hand has just touched. Think it came out very fantasy/surreal as this woman emerges from the waters that are in her play. Info on manipulation here: Stowaways.

Breathe for me!!

2011-01-15T00:50:00.000+01:00

So is meant to be underwater theme, was listening to song below :) thought it was somewhat fitting.

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Evanescence - breathe no more!

Test Test Test.... and a Hello

2011-01-14T07:41:00.000+01:00

Hello, so am testing how images appear on my blog, hence 'test test test' ...about time i joined, expect a lot more: photographies* and digital paintings and the so on. I am finding it so much easier to post on here too, doesn't take long (Surprised) + my normal wanderings and captures have a place now.

Oh i took these pictures just now, bottom one, over exposure! from an old Fuji, and lets say never mind what i was doing, Oh the one above was done earlier in the morning i had a million things lying around in my room, stepping over, the mess!!, ah found my phone!!
