its a classic.....

well in my opinion anyways.

recently one of my paintings has caused a bit of a buzz, and for onnce its for an apprectiation of the aesthetic rather than people being mindlessly offended by the images I prouce.

I reverted back to my old ways, wet canvas, white acrylic and quink ink....hence the classic comment!I haven't even considered painting like this since the end of second year and honestly, since its revival, I kinda have to question what took me away from it!

what can I say, people obviously love monochrome!

it seems all to common.....

that i neglect my blogging duties!

i may only have a small number of followers that probably don't even pay attention to the ramblings of a small time lincolnshire artist, but that doesn't mean that I should allow myself to become slack!

I have been painting again, and showing for that matter, but i have no photographic evidence of the later fact, alas i shall do some searching and get some concrete evidence.

painting wise i have gotten back into my old perverse ways!

This is "Ariel"

Im really loving the combination of the black and white with the almost garish brightness of the colour! i have another painting of a similar ilk and as soon as i have a picture ill share her with you.

I really need to get back in touch with my camera!

Im at work!

And not the artistic kind,
alas if the Dogma bosses only knew!

the thing is though, is that art wise, there is actually some shit kicking off! Firstly, im painting again. i know this may not sound like the most amazing revalation for an art blog, but its been ages since i even considered lifting a paint brush.

secondly, there are some exciting shows and otential internships on the horizon. I have a couple of shows in may, one collective al fresco type of event and the other a solo show in a dinky little lincoln gallery. I have also been given the all clear for a very large commission (size that is, not price) in dogmas beer garden!

internship wize there are a couple of possibilities, one is with a local gallery working directly under the artistic co-ordinator, the other is part of the lincoln arts programme, and this is the one that im really excited about. It is basically a connection with loads of different Lincoln and Nottingham based galleries, exciting times.

i shall keep you up to date with how it all goes when i know whats going on.
untill then
