The Rat King!

So, I was procrastinating and watching my favourite ballet, The Nutcracker (the 1990 Peter Wright version with the Birmingham Royal Ballet to get specific) and remembered how much I enjoyed/was scared of the Rat King scenes when I was little. I wonder if it said something about the person I would become that I always thought the mysterious magician was way more attractive than the 'knight in shining armour' style male lead.

Anyways, enough about me. Have a Rat King photo collage.

I went to Spain!

I've been on holiday, yay! And I took my paints and pencils, naturally. So, here's a couple of the quick paintings I did while I was there of things I saw.

The first is fairly obvious what it is and how it relates to Spain:

The second, is what the many old spanish men looked like to me as they sat around having a bake in the sun; seemingly indefinitely.

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!
