Exhibition

Its all go at the moment and I have a whole bunch of things to post here but that will have to wait for now.......BUT tomorrow evening myself and friends are putting on an exhibition at the Old Ambulance Depot, Brunswick St, Leith, Edinburgh. If you are in the area come along and feast your eyes and sample some free booze. See you there

Framed collages

Playing around with framing my collages, still not sure if I approve but here they are....

Studio space

My studio-space has become such a mess that I am starting to lose stuff amongst the carnage but I kind of like it that way....

The view from the window isn't too shabby (yup that is Edinburgh castle)

Printing on paint

Here's one of the paintings I screen printed onto. After messing up the screen-print I sanded it back to reprint but ended up preferring it half sanded. Note the rounded corners, loving using the rounded corners.

 

Speaking of rounded corners I did the same to my bird painting. Here it is rounded corners, varnished, and mounted.

 

bitmap shenanigans

I have recently been incorporating a lot of photocopied images into my drawings so I decided to try a similar technique with my paintings. So last week was spent stressing myself out due to my lack of photoshop skills attempting to edit images and make bitmap files ready to screen print. After lots of cursing I managed it and was happy with the results so plan on developing it further. Here are a few of the first experiments screen printing onto paper before I braved the painted boards.

I also printed onto one of my favourite reference books completely missing the registration between the colour seperations, oh well

 I then printed onto the boards and am currently working back into them and will post them here when done.
