Art Blog and New Collage
24th June 2010
I'm producing new pieces of art far too frequently these days for it to always be considered news, so I'm going to start using Livejournal as an art blog to mention new pieces instead of continually updating this section. In the past few weeks there have been new additions to all galleries except the painting gallery. I'm particularly pleased with my new collage, For A Girl, which is a chaotic, psychotic dreamscape that has a certain deranged vibrancy.
New Work
26th March 2010
I like to be spontaneous and instinctive with my art, which means I fail at sticking to set themes sometimes. My latest drawing is not part of the dark fairytale series, although some of the imagery is similar. It's called Mushland, and it attempts to capture some of the delirium felt during recent physical illness. I've decided that, along with The Changeling, it will one day become part of the NookaBet, a long term project that hopes to one day depict all the letters in my own special style.
I've also begun a new photography series, called 28365, in which I intend to take a picture to represent each day of my life as a 28 year old. My favourite images will be added to this site's photography gallery as the project progresses, and all pictures will be made into a collage when the project is complete.
