Antony Gormley

Kerry, I thought this artist could be useful for you as he stacks his small figures in a way that creates a crowded, uncomfortable enviroment which I found interesting.

Platt fields gallery

I took these images almost a month ago I recovered them from my broken memory card. 

I know it is a little too late to suggest a an exhibition but for those who have not been you should visit for some inspiration.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol

As some of us are creating stacking, using colour and hanging our work for exhibition, have a look at Andy Warhol’s work looking at colour.

 His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Warhol uses many forms of media that include hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.

The aspect that interests me about Warhol’s work is the colour. They are bright hallucinated  colours, which do not resemble any natural colours or characteristics of the people he re-created within his work.

Warhol discusses his choice of colour in this 1981 recording. Press the play button to listen to his comments.

A Sequencial development on the first processes

over lined in fine liners

designs in pencil

Here I want to show how long and precious I have been with my work and the lengthy process I have endured during my experimenting. I will put all of my final illustrations up onto my blog on the exhibition date as a final statement because I want them to be shown in their exhibition areas. Overall I am getting the hang of things but I do wish there was more workshops available for this project because of it's collabrative nature.

Paper manipulation

I found an art blog http://artpropelled.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/folding-unfolding-enfolding.html introducing me to Sarah Mitchell's work. Looking through these pieces of work with paper I think the quantity of folded paper in one piece looks more interesting than just a single accent.What do you guys think?

starting to layout the solid
black fine liner

I have been designing layout and 'stencils' of my birds and rabbit and then scanning them into photoshop drawing them by hand and then putting them into photoshop is a new thing to me as I dont have that much experience and wished that we have a workshop in something like tutorial. I wish to develop my skills in photoshop. The design is the key to the final execution of the work.

brushes beginning to be developed

What needs to be considered though is that this is going to be a time consuming and in many cases it may not work out well.
