1Winter base 2011
25th February 2011
Areas: making of paintings street art
I was invited to do some live painting last weekend at winter BASE an International Street Art and Music Festival held in the Ulster Hall. Under my alias TWEET I was lucky enough to be painting beside REMED (Madrid). Below I’ve posted a picture of the final artwork and a stop motion video of how it was made.
You can see the sketches I did in preparation for this piece here.
Monday paintings
24th February 2011
Areas: paintings
After painting last weekend at winter BASE an International Street Art and Music Festival held in the Ulster Hall I was pretty tired of painting and wanted to do something simple on Monday night’s painting group.
Over the next few days I will be putting up pictures of my piece at winter BASE, hopefully accompanied by a making of video.
Sketches for Winter base 2011
17th February 2011
Areas: sketches street art
I’ve been invited to do some live painting again this weekend at winter BASE an International Street Art and Music Festival held in the Ulster Hall. Under my alias TWEET I’ll be among great street artists like: Remed (Spain), Lints (Denmark), Jack Douglas (Austrailia), Conzo Throb (Scotland) and KVLR (NI).
The Ulster Hall will be open from 2pm-6pm this Saturday and Sunday with free entry between those times, so please come down and say hello.
In preparation I’ve been doing some sketches in my spare time this week of what I may do.
You can see what I painted at summer BASE last year here.
The story of the Tunisian revolution – The Times newspaper
12th February 2011
Areas: comics making of storyboards
I was commissioned by The Times to create a 12-panel comic for the article “An ordinary man on a bad day, he changed the world for ever”. The comic depicts the events of December 17, 2010 that would end in the death of the 26-year-old Tunisian street trader Mohamed Buazizi, sparking protests that would topple his country’s president and unseat Hosni Mubarak, igniting a firestorm of anger across the Arab world from Tunisia to Jordan to Egypt.
Below I’ve included my roughs to the final 12-panel comic printed in The Times. You can view close ups of the comic on the Tunisian Revolution project page.
Say hello to a recycled tee shirt design
7th February 2011
Areas: textiles
I have been really busy with storyboarding jobs this week and whilst on a coffee break I came up with an idea on how to recycle old tee-shirts that had been relegated to the back of the drawer due to Italian food stains.
I thought I could simply use some dark tee shirt transfer paper (that I’d used on the Laundry project) to cover the stain playing to the strength of the transfer by make it look like a sticker.
The problem I’ve always found with this transfer paper it is very hard to ensure a crisp image as it normally breaks up due to too much heat or not enough, but in this instance the lack of a crisp image added to the design.
