exhibitions and things!

Right then, well I'm a little slow in getting this on the site seen as the opening night has come and gone but fear not, the exhibition at Drumcroon in Wigan is still on till the 24th August.

I am exhibiting with a number of fantastic artists from the OK Studios group for the next month, the show has a great array of styles of work and subject matter and is well worth a visit if you are in the area and even if you're not for that matter.

I will get some images of the work i have up on the site as soon as poss, should be in the next day or so. A number of the pieces have the wrong title, but I guess these things happen when someone else does the labels for the work.

I have a limited 5 copies of each of the prints at the exhibition for sale. Print number one of each being framed and the others unframed, something i think i will continue through my reproduction work in the future. I reworked the Passing of Time series of works from colour to mainly black and white, which I think makes the images a lot stronger, plus there are the two new landscape pieces I have recently been working on.

The website is slowly getting attention in small chunks as i photograph my work and organise all the images i want to include in the new design...the layout is another story but i shall get to that in due time.

I am about to embark on some serious DIY in the house to turn the poor spare room full of junk into the workspace I have been dreaming of for a long time. The room has had little attention since I bought the house aside from plastering and will need new floorboards and the works really, potentially a sink as well, depends how I get on and what room there is available when the main work on the room has been done. I will get images of the progress on this on the site as well, in the meantime it looks somewhat like this...
















I shall get some images up on the site in the next few days, in the meantime, go and see the Drumcroon show!

website...

i've taken the site down so i can organise all my files and images and whatnot and try and get the flaming thing in order.

i'll whack up my most recent stuff and work back through my old back catalogue and ditch the stuff i've had on the site for years that i don't really like any more.

anyway, i'll get working as soon as the upcoming exhibition work is sorted. more info on that soon as well.

Progress at last

I've just begun to do the test prints of my new piece "Uncertainty & Inevitability".

Please excuse the rubbish photo.

More soon...

right then...

i'll be reposting hopefully before the end of the day with some bits and bobs. got a new lino cut piece on the way i'm trying to get finalised for exhibiting which is going better than expected at the moment. i will try and get some images of the cut and possibly a test print in the next couple of days... busy, busy, busy....

plus i've nearly nailed the second of my tunnel pieces which i will post up also...

im currently eyeing up a new digital camera which along with the new macbook, should revolutionalise my workflow and get some real steam built up behind me.

i've had a few months of things that have put my work on hold and now i can feel the cogs of creativity starting to get going again.. think there are gonna be some good developments in my work soon. that and hopefully i'll get the new bloody website up and running....

there just aint enough time...
