Paint With the Sounds of Discount.....

So very close to where i attend uni is a quaint warehouse called 'Molly's Den' (something i often forget so is renamed Betties Treasure Trove or Sally's Shed....) an inside is a cove of vintage, unwanted, handmade and just old items.

Amongst most of the unwanted 90's toys, i found vinyl records.

Now, for lovers of the classic records and hold then above all else.... look away now.

For arty people for the love of something easy and fun, continue. I have found the up most fun passing the time creating simple painting on these vinyl disks.

 

These are my most resent pieces with limited colour choices. But i made do.

In a previous piece you can see my steps:

 In the first piece you can see my light pencil sketches to get the general outline, then with the base colours, filling the block areas paying close attention to where the dark areas will be, using the black of the vinyl.
Then there is the finished piece, with little detail and blending out. Only colours close to white seem to be see able. I did another piece which relied of darker colours in it.

Though i am happy with it, it's difficult to see some of the darker areas. something to keep in mind for my later paintings.

First Year Work

My first year of University is over and I don't quite know what to make of it. 

I loved every minuet of it and can't wait for second year to start, but for now here are some of the things I've created over the year.

A miniture animation boat.

Storyline: a grandfather takes his Grandson out onto the see, teaching him how it all works. However the boy insists on it being a pirate ship and the roam the great seas.

This was a 5 week to-size head sculpt project out of clay.

My model was Sam Foster and we had an excellent tutor called Val Adamson. 

I had a fantastic time doing this one.

A commissioned piece by photographer Charlotte Ellis for a Sci-fi headpiece to b apart of her shoot.

Are Italian Stallion Butchers Shop for an Animation Street. Spot all the innuendos....

My final piece of the year. We were given the choice of three books to read. I chose The Wizard of Oz. From there I decide to Make a Character Sculpt but 'out-side-the-box'. Thus I transformed the poppies which send Dorothy and her friends to sleep, into people. Creepy, washed-out creatures that comatose people who come to near.

I loved doing the research for this one.
