Paint the World

Steven Wright said "It's a small world, but i wouldn't want to paint it..."

I always liked the way that quote evokes a sense of scale that quickly becomes unimaginable.

So fair play to Dulux for giving it a go. And making it look like so much fun.

I'ld love to get involved in this...

Andy Council and Acerone Collaboration at UPfest10!

YES indeed, the rumours are true - June the 5^th will see Acerone will be painting a collaborative piece with Bristol’s finest artist and illustrator Andy Council. Expect starbursts, light trails, Bristolian visual references and, of course - dinosaurs!

During the 3^rd UPfest at the Tobacco Factory in Southville, Bristol; Andy and Acer will be painting live as part of the 200 strong group of artists, with 50 of those artists having come from all over the world to be a part of the event.

This one is not to be missed!

Throughout the weekend the Tobacco Factory will be hosting the Very Affordable Art Sale where original artwork and prints will be available at bargain prices! Profits raised from the sales will be donated to NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics) building upon the £10,000 already raised by Steve and the UPfest organisers to date. Please come down and support the cause.

And as if this wasn’t enough there will be urban dance workshops, a children’s art practice area, and live music from Funk from the Trunk, Hairy Parents, Jon Kennedy and many, many more…

Oh yeah… and entry free!!!

College Green Experimentationalism

Trying to push the photomontage style a little - warped up and mangled.

Im not happy with this one but its just an experiment...

More to come.

Cabot Circus Bridge

Photo-montage of the car park bridge to Cabot Circus, Bristol.

158 photos.

6 hours on Photoshop.

Lots of patience.

No more of these...!

MC Mike Mac

I regularly 'do lunch' with my man Mike Mac of the Jedi Mics on Fridays in that awesome pasta joint in St Nicks market... Hmmmmm fooood.

So after scoffing pasta, salad and bread yesterday we went on a little record digging session in a new record shop in the market. I spotted this awesome corner with loads of cool music memorabilia spread around so i asked Mike to hold still for a minute whilst i fired off about 140 shots. Piecing them back together took more like 3-4 hours, well into the early hours last night...

Anyway, im pleased with how this turned out - i know, i know, very Hockney, but i love this style. Might have to head back there to reshoot this but this time change the text on that black board as tickets to Metropolis dont really relate to Mike or his music. Which BTW you can check here...
