When I watch X-men . . .

A quick little sketch I did this evening inspired by, as the title suggests, my visit to see X-Men First Class :)

Belated Fathers Day

First post-project art piece!

Unfortunately, both me and my dad were busy on Fathers Day so I have only just had time to ask what theme he would like his Fathers Day art piece to be and he chose: cycling!

If anyone knows my dad this will have been fairly predictable as he is Captain cycling/Tour De France/Lycra/Racing Bike man.

Here's the best piece which was his present:

Reject piece of the Tour de France:

"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."

Day . . . THE END

As the title of this post suggests (provided by the annoyingly eloquent Orson Welles), the 30 pieces of art challenge has come to an end. Or has it?

There have been good art works, there have been bad artworks but there has always, somehow, been art and I hope you've enjoyed it.

I feel I've learnt a lot from this - I particularly enjoyed having random stimulus provided by people which is why the project continues!! If you have anything you would like to see me try, a commission or a challenge I am still ready and willing to bring you art! The only difference being that I will probably only be doing art inspired by peoples suggestions so get thinking.

I would love to know peoples favourite pieces and thoughts of the overall project.

Thank you and keep the ideas coming!

My post - art project mess:

Yes, someone really got a tattoo done that I designed :D

DAY THIRTY!!!!! : Permanent Art

It has arrived!!! Finally, thirty pieces of art - not quite one a day but thats life.

Possibly some of you were wondering how I could top painting a life size horse but little did you know that I had already designed a tattoo for a friend which she has just got!

I will hopefully post photos of a it when it is a bit less pink! She asked for a butterfly in the tribal style but that was still feminine and I hope I did her idea proud - I certainly think it looks beautiful :)

My original design:

Neigh.

Day Twenty Nine: Painting a life size Acrylic horse!

Sooooorry for the long absence - I've doing intermittent little bits of art but nothing post worthy due to lack of time.

But here's some art! Recently, I've spent a lot of time working as part of the group of artists in the 'Horse About Newmarket' project; each artist had to design as completely their design on an acrylic horse.

It was great fun and my horse is called: Mystiko and on it you can see all sorts of mystical themed symbols including tarot cards, palmistry, phrenology and a constellation.

Here's it when I'd just finished painting it (with acrylic paints).

With some of the other horses about to get sprayed with car body spray . .
