Well, since I couldn't come up with any good idea's for a journal I thought I'd fill it up with pictures instead.
This is a painting I did while at Castle Toward in 1991, I was very into rusty things and decay and most of my paintings at the time involved setting the canvas on fire to achieve texture. So it's quite mixed media, watercolour, burned soap powder( to give rust effect) and a million layers of acrylic paint. It took weeks to dry!
This is an emormous ammonite which I found in a place called Charmouth in England many years ago. I remember getting my poor dad to help me drag the thing all the way up the beach to the car. I don't know if you get the scale from the photo but the thing is nearly 2 feet across! That's a big ammonite.
Unfotunately as you can see, it's missing a chunk. It wasn't originally. What happened was that it was too big to keep in the house and so we kept in out in the garden. Unfortunately, unknown to us, it had a big natural fault line right through the fossil and during a frosty period, it split into 4 bits! This is what remains.
My E.P got released on Experimedia! There are some brilliant artists on the label and I'm quite chuffed to be out on it. For the artwork, I sent them some photo's I had taken and another artist on there did the text for it. I think it came out pretty well! They wrote a nice description for it too.
The Ep is here
if you want to check it. (If you haven't heard it that is, it's been kicking about for a while now I guess)
Here's a drawing I did of a stick insect, white on black paper.
And here's the original art for that Ep I was going to use but didn't.
And here's a photo I took recently of a pretty little duck called a Mandarin duck. They are like ornamental imported ducks but are becoming a little bit more common now.
Em. And that's all! As you can see, not much excitement has fallen upon me. For my next journal, I'll attempt to have something interesting in store! Sorry.
