My first cross stitch is complete!
Although cross stitching is very time-consuming and your hands start to hurt after a while, it's VERY addictive - I can't wait to start embroidering new pieces.
This was a bit of a test run before I started a new project, which I will hopefully have updates on soon! The quote is from the comedian: Bo Burnham. I highly recommend you listen to:
Flick book
New book I created using stills from a short film I made recently. Each page when flicked shows the model thrashing and flailing, progressively getting more and more melodramatic.
Interested in buying a piece from me? Well, great news: YOU CAN!
I have started to sell art work through my flickr account featuring: framed and unframed work, original drawings, screen prints and oil paintings. Prices start from £1+ :)
This piece is a collage based on ladies fashion magazines, I have removed the female body to explore the haptic sensations associated with landscape scenery. I also wanted to explore the notion that the magazine itself is connected to a throw-away culture, one that flicks absent-mindedly and doesn't even need to see the body to know it is there.
I have been making a lot of drawings recently and framing some work that I have made previously. I love Egon Schiele, and recently I have been receiving a lot of comments that our styles are similar (which I'm very happy about!) I love the contrasting use of angular sharp and curved lines to depict the human form, as well as the controversial hyper-sexualisation.
He has long since been an inspiration for my love of linear drawings and depicting the human form!
