I had hoped to have posted about each of the pieces in the project individually but Christmas socialising, collecting work and struggles with photographic images saw my time just disappear this last week. So I have just put a gallery […]
I find it interesting how two ideas can become one. The sprayed and cockled slotted paper was headed for another collage but got hijacked by this. Probably not ready the first time (29/50) is one of my favourites in the […]
I have a history with black squares and with lines – hand drawn but not ruled, sometimes less straight than I could easily make them – and with photos of lines. I don’t have a history with clips of nails, […]
Just in case anyone is actually following my progress on this little 50 Collages Before Christmas project, I want to assure you that all is going fine. I have been steadily working on multiple pieces a the same time but […]
The quality of photographs for this project is mostly pretty poor and Mixing It With Maurice In The Morning, 23/50 Collages Before Christmas, is one of the worst. I haven’t got the time – or at present with collages in […]
The 14th piece in the project is “Did you mean that?” It features some of my favourite themes: a rook; black and white; a grid; and symbols. In this case the symbols are wingdings I set out on a grid. […]
I am getting confused. I know I published a post on this piece last night but it seems to have disappeared. Like the post on number 10 it will probably reappear and I will have a duplicate! There always comes […]
A bit of a different direction for “They Had No Right” number 11 of 50 Collages Before Christmas, although people familiar with my #Collage365 project would recognise the style and direction. The photograph bottom right is a detail from one […]
I have been busy with making more work and also jobs in the garden so I have been slacking when it comes to posting what I have done on this blog and my site. Number 10, Didn’t We Believe We Were […]
Offering No10 of 50 Collages Before Christmas Didn’t We Believe We Were Something? is the piece mentioned in the last post about which I was undecided how to proceed. I decided to go with the easy it wanted to go […]
I finished off a couple of collages to my satisfaction today and there’s another that I’m “sitting with” and may also be finished. Otto Lilienthal makes a return in 8/50 Keep an eye on Otto (above). I have a soft […]
The second of of 50 Collages Before Christmas is also the second of Abstract Drawings for Dummies. In some ways it is even more explicit than the first with greater description of what I have in mind and think while […]
I have been busy with other things this week and was keen to get back into the studio yesterday and finish of some of the #Collage50 works in progress – but I started yet another one! Today I finished it […]
Hello there, I am now going to make a note about my frame of mind and then move on swiftly. The frame of mind I’ve dealt with over the past couple of weeks has been difficult. I’m not great at […]
Hello there, Thankfully I didn’t make an actual actual promise to post more this week. It seems that as soon as I do start talking publicly about increasing the number of work posts my ability to do so is less […]
Hello there, Here is another round up of this slogan project. Week 2 was originally from 8th – 14th July. Friday 15th July 2016 – Slogans Project Week 2 So then I happen to have gotten it together to write […]
I’m seven weeks into my slogans project and exploring ways of finding a bigger audience. At the end of the first week I decided to publish a round up of the slogans posted daily with further explanations for each. Here is […]
Excuse the title, I like to live my life with an imaginary soundtrack. Anyhow, you have not heard from me for a while, this is not because I have been sat idly by, watching the world… No! It is […]
