WXSP is back again, with an even bigger list of artists getting involved, including me…
I got invited back to carry out another interactive art vibe activity (last year did my doodle / badge making workshop alongside Disco Loco which went pretty POW!) which will involve the public contributing to some artwork which I will kick off onto a canvas board, which will then be exhibited along Whitecross Street for six weeks…
Will have a proper stall to sell merchandise from like last year too, so bring that cash money and cop some freshness if you like, as well as contributing to some pretty sweet art!…
Now I’m not a golfer, but making a few trips down to Richmond Golf Club can swerve you a little into actually appreciating the game, the picturesque setting and the lovely staff who run the place.
So last year I was invited by the club to donate some artwork for auction to help raise funds for their annual charity event, and managed to raise £1500 for the Regenerate UK charity with a piece entitled Doughputt, you can view it HERE
This year, the club invited me back again, and had the pleasure of donating some artwork for the On Course Foundation, which helps to build confidence and self-belief in wounded, injured and ill (WII) Service members and Veterans via golf skills and employment training events.…
Went to The Chelsea Flower Show last week and absolutely loved it! Thanks to fellow friend and collector of my art Simon for inviting me down…was expecting flowers galore yes, but the scale and art fusion element blew me away, in particular the sculptures on display and the vividness/richness of it all…Dad used to go all the time, didn’t quite get the whole flower hype, but after visiting can see now what the fuss was about, fully inspired!…
Now I’m not the most political person, but prior to all this election malarkey, I met a mate through a brother-in-law, and he mentioned he had this super cool Pixelstick and wanted to ‘light paint’ some political art, thought why not…
The PixelStick “A tool which allows timelapse photographers to get even more creative with light. The 2 metre device holds 200 coloured led’s that walk through any image the user asks it to, from detailed artwork to your own face.”
Heres how it works…
The idea was to create some real basic artwork based on individual character themes…
…then use the PixelStick to light paint infront of polling stations in and around London…
Didn’t know what to expect, but images turned out pretty sweet, all about the process and how the shot was executed…thinking some sweet ‘light graf’ pieces next…
