I’ve started to film some of my last YouTube videos (for now) This is a new version of the Paul Klee technique seen some recent videos. I know that this method has proven to be popular with viewers and I hope it inspires others to give it a try. A few more demo videos will be available until I post the last one tomorrow.
I’ve decided that the YouTube channel is no longer working, and at the end of the month I will be posting my final video. Each video has become very time consuming, filming and editing them takes away from time that I would like to spend on new artwork and projects. I feel that my work has suffered and I need to get back to trying to be an artist again. The channel will not be deleted so all my old videos can still be viewed. I have not completely given up on the channel and hope after a long break I might be able to refresh the content with new videos that will hopefully bring inspiration to others. I would like to thank everyone for your support and feedback over the years, all your positive comments have meant so much to me, and I wish you luck on your creative path.
New mixedmedia drawings.
This is the latest demo, filmed in the studio.
For the last few months I’ve been converting an old garage into a new studio space. This has been a huge task for me as I have no experience of this kind of work and I have been held back due to difficulties sourcing timber. I hope to have the studio completed in a few weeks and it should provide a much needed place to work on larger projects including sculpture.
Sorry to say that I will no longer be sending any smaller items by postal delivery. The shipping costs have become far too high for items such as books and prints and it's made them impossible to send overseas. I would not expect someone to pay more for post than the item being delivered. UK delivery will available but please contact me first. I will continue to make ebooks available and try to add more downloadable content such as videos, tutorials and templates.
Still working on the construction of the new studio space. Had a few delays to cope with. I have started to use it to film some new demo videos including this latest which is a continuation of the metamorphic artwork. 30 canvas panels 6” × 6”
I apologise for the delay in dispatching the orders for the monoprinting booklet, there was a slight mix up at the printers. The Booklets will arrive on monday and all orders will be posted immediately. I will include a print with the booklets to thank you for your patience.
I will have copies of the mono-printing booklet back on the website. I have just sent the order to the printers and I expect delivery to be next week. You will be able to pre-order your copy now from the website shop.
The 10 FREE prints have all gone, thanks for your interest in this artwork. I will dispatch the print in the next few days. Heading to Australia, USA, Sweden, France, Germany, Ireland and the UK. The print will be available to buy for a limited time.
FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY - This Is Not Art
At 3pm today I will have 10 copies of this A4 print to give away. I have been so pleased with the response to the recent demo video and I hope it has helped to show that negative comments should always be treated with the contempt that they deserve. The artwork I produced uses printed words from a comment that I received on one of my demos, I welcome constructive feedback, but insults are unnecessary.
Posting a lot more content on the YouTube channel at the moment, trying ways to improve on the quality and responding to viewer requests and comments.
Today was the first time I had to send items abroad since the new changes to exporting goods from the UK (a result of BREXIT ) I have posted many times overseas including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and all around Europe. Since 21st January all goods exported must now by law have a customs commodity code number, this sounds easy enough but I have had to spend most of today looking for the correct code to apply to one of my mono-printing kits, nothing really covers it, the only artist materials listed are paints and brushes. It is a confusing nightmare. I am so sorry if you are one of my overseas customers awaiting a delivery, I will try to get this resolved as soon as I can. I have contacted HMRC for assistance with this matter. PS : I didn't vote for BREXIT and would love to once again live in a country that was part of Europe.
I have now stopped all postal deliveries until this has been resolved, which I hope will not be too long.
I have not filmed any new demo videos for a while due to suffering from a very painful elbow injury. This has shown signs of recovery so I hope to film a new video soon. Sorry for the delay and I hope that the viewers of my YouTube channel will understand. I have experimented with TikTok videos and I will post updates about this development soon.
Sorry for the lack of recent posts and videos but I hope to try and update the website in the new year. I have added the mono-printing kits back in the website shop and this includes the special editions that have the booklet. I have now removed the gallery of your work but this will return once it has been edited.
Still missing a few photographs. Please send ASAP.
Scan this code for a link to the PLACE project interactive map.
Compilation of photographs that have been added to the PLACE project. I am working on an idea that would incorporate all 100 of the paper houses, this will be changed and edited as I work on a few ideas but I hope it will create a finished artwork that could be displayed in a gallery. Please send your contribution as soon as possible so I can begin to fill the gaps. Thanks to all those who have submitted your photographs, I really appreciate your interest and commitment to this project.
After GOOGLE removed all of my project photographs (including FLEET from 2017) from the map for no reason I have found a suitable alternative. This interactive map will now contain many of the photographs that are submitted for the PLACE art project. I will try to update this as often as possible. This map has NO connection with GOOGLE.
