thers a big hole in my arm

 

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

lines and lines and lines

so ye alot on atm, hopefully ill see some of you lot at some of the things im doing, and if not i hope you have a good summer

upfest picks colab nation picks and beatcheck interview

first of all im gunna drop the link to the beatcheck interview i did for ther new blog/whats on in mk site, it turned out ok and i didnt sound as boring as i usualy do in it lol massive thanks to monkey jason and all the crew for thinking of me, you can read it here

also i managed to get myself involved in the colab nation night in camden on the 21st of may, i would have posted it sooner but ive been so cought up with upfest that i didnt get round to it, but here it is, it was a realy cool day and the other artists were realy nice people, massive shout out to squiril for only bringing his card out and having to by a round every time he wanted a drink hehe, anyway heres the pick :

next up, im gunna show you the stencil i got ready for upfest, i tested it out b4 i got ther thank god and was able to iron out a few of the glitches, but i realy like it in these oranges aswell, and i think more big stencils of my photoshop gods and monsters will look dope, im working on an idea based around darwin sitting on a throne of skulls, atm which i think will be realy cool, EVILution, is the working title hehehe puns make me giggle, anyway heres the pick of the stencil test:

see pretty cool huh? right just b4 i get to upfest and my peice im gunna drop you a couple of picks from a lil mission i went on last night in newport, i basicly descoverd that a peice i painted a couple of years ago was missing a face so i thought i couldnt leave he like that so i went and put a new one on, but whilst i was doing that i did a new lil bit aswell wich i do actualy quite like, its a mix of brush and spray, and i think its the way forward for all my street stuff now, well the charicter based stuff anyway, see what you think...

belo is my peice for upfest, thers some cool bits in ther but i dont think it quite hangs 2gether, nevermnd i still had an awsome time, some of the work was unbelievable  heres the picks 

as you can see i got totaly schooled but thats cool, i was kinda expecting that anyways, i did see quite a few new difrent ideas that have given me alot to think about tho, and to be fair this was the first time i had tried to combine useing stencils and charicter work 2gether b4 so it was always gunna be a bit hit or miss whether it would work, i think i went a lil to small with the girl, and she looks kinda lost in ther, anyway nevermind, i was pretty suprised when they said they were gunna let me paint ther anyway, but hopefully theel let me paint ther next year, so im definatly in practice for the next year lol.

anyway, heres some picks from the secret wars final dirty old town vs colab nation, pretty awsome battle realy, colab nation won, and ther peice was super dope, but dirty old towns peice was pretty awsome aswell, ugg you deside which  you like:

right thats about it i think, ive got a few things cummin up down the pipeline, im doing a stall with a couple of friends at the cambell park festival which will be cool, thats at the end of june, so im gunna be mad bizzy getting some actual product ready for that, a few difrent prints and a few canvases and some dolls and some tees, is the plan, ill drop you the picks when done, anyway im gunna leave you with some of the graffiti from around bristol, its a realy cool town and if you get a chance go, 

adios till next time
