its a cool lil spot, you should come up and take a look thers gunna be more atists up ther aswell next time, anyway this is mine and bumflapps piece peice:
i found some more random picks from upfest, im not in any of them, and i certainly didnt paint anything you see here
ye sorry, this is all in a bit of a strange order, im working on a new way to post things, insted of rambeling on and linking everything into one big blog, im gunna try to post one subject/event at a time, so more posts and more piks, and less introduction, ok maybe not right this second, but defo in the future anyway…
Peterborough over ground arts fest.
i managed to get my good frend to drive me ther wich was totaly awsome, and it was kinda like a proper road trip, the weather was (and i know judgeing by the pic above it looks quite nice) but it was really pissing it down, all the way ther, and when we got ther the place looked a bit sodden and miserable,
ther were a few artists ther milling about wondering if therd even get chance to paint it was that bad, so we waited… like for a couple of hours, me and mclive had a wander round town in the rain, and then we had a look round the cathedral witch was a mighty impressive building by anyones standards take a look….
damnit cant find the pic from the cathederal… nevermind ill show you another day
so ye when we got back from sight seeing, the organisers had come up with a plan and were dragging boards undercover ready for us to paint, and after some lifting by us all, got everyone ther sorted for a space, thank god, but then after about 2pm the sun came out and the hole place suddenly looked great and everyone was able to carry on.
anyway i got an 8x4 to play with, and managed to put up my freshly made stencil (the night before)
anyway this is my piece
turned out alright i think, not to bad for my second attempt at doing a large scale stencil, i defo learned allot, like for instance, i realy need to start using thicker paper or card to make these things, as the first layer destroyed its self in the wind, so i had to piece it back together on the fly, wich was kinda hard work, and made it really dificalt to do the other layers
but yes anyway i was happy
the place tho was a really nice space, lots of fruit n veg growing around the site, and me an mclive had quite a long look at it all, heres a bunch of pics i robbed off of ther facebook page
but yeah skipping to the end, ther was a realy good quality of art going on ther, and it was nice to be invited back for ther next jam, cant wait
heres a bunch more picks from the other artists…
but yess i dont know any of the artists and a few of the picks i robbed off the facebook page, so if this is ur pic im sorry. but yess thats it from this post
smell ya later xx
look check it out…….
i burned it on the flash dryer from the screen printing kit, yip thats right ive been messing about with that again, its been hard work all week,
first the new peice of glass i bought cracked under the heat from the 1000 watt bulb ive got to burn the image onto the screen,you gotta check the pic of the glass tho,
it made some really interesting cracks, like none ive ever seen before, realy cool waveing lines and stuff,
but ye it was unfortunate timeing as i needed to do some screen prints for the mk summer fayre at the weekend, but i did learn a few tricks though and now i think i can start getting the detail i want in the plushies and prints, (helpful hint if you ever think about having a go is, to use 2 sheets of assertate rather than one, and line the images up so you get a darker line, and ergo easer washing and printing)
pretty good huh??
but i managed to get 3 screens done before the glass malfunktion anyway, 2 of which were rubbish, i will have another go at them soon
but i did do one, and its my first print ive ever done, im pretty happy with it, a few tewwks need to be made before i have another go anyway, you can see some of it nesseled in behind the plushies
ther are 10 0f them, they are a lil smaller than a2 and all are numbered and signed, pretty good huh?? hehe
the other things you can see are the new version of the dolls
as you can see, its loads more detailed than the last version, and ive prety mutch managed to get all the detail in the print as when on paper, and thats only an a4 print, sory for the watermark btw, its kinda the master copy of the print, so im gunna protect it a lil
but anyway, ye, chek me out with my products people can buy hehe, starting to look alright i think
