In Our Talons

Well, hey...

So I made it back from Hamburg in one piece (barely) and managed to have a great time hanging out with all the Flatstock artists and German dudes. Plus I also managed to sell a few posters, which is always a bonus. Here is a picture of my print 'A Hard Days Night' in The Beatles museum, which was ace and I also sold a few of these whilst I was there. I've just put them up in the twoducksdisco Big Cartel shop, so if you fancy picking one up just slide on over. And just for you there's a special 20% discount if you enter the discount code upon checkout. Its 'Lennon' by the way...

So, I finally get around to posting my Bowerbirds poster. I like the Bowerbirds, I think I may go and see this gig.

And thats it for now, next week there will be better photos from Hamburg so you can judge us as the drunken maniacs you've come to expect... plus some new works, hooray!

You say goodbye...

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Guten Tag. So you may or may not know that next week I am off to Hamburg, DE where I will be exhibiting at the mighty FLATSTOCK on the Reeperbahn. If its half as good as last year it'll be the greatest thing ever as I get to hang out with some good old friends and hopefully make some new ones.

Whilst i'm over there i'm also contributing an art print to The Beatles (you may have heard of them) museum in Hamburg, Beatlemania.

Here is a quick process of the art print being made, starting with a sky blue colour for the first layer. The second colour down. The third colour, which although Elle described as a bit poo-y, is actually more Jamaican Ginger I think... Here I needed to make sure that the paint had an exact level of transparency so that the colour behind would be visible, creating extra detail and depth to the print. The fourth colour is a dark salmon and again having to make sure that the paint was transparent enough to show the colours which I was printing over. So, a bit more of a tricky one this and it took ages but they'll be up for sale shortly from my Big Cartel store but I can't wait to see these up in the museum!
