nicked idea!!
Saw this being used on another site - a big thanks to Jafa and thought I would have a go at putting it up, changes the look of the blog and gives a chance to view some of my work!!
I really like how you incorporate text into the images.The text adds an element that I really relate to, and makes me smile, think, chuckle, squirm (as with the shit shat stuff lol). I have always wanted to do it, but never seem to be able to pull it off. And I am so glad you decided to do a slide show because it was great to see the body of your work.
Edgy, quirky, humorous images using limited colour palettes convey thoughts we all have, places we have been and comments we could have made. My work, I hope, works on several simple levels; emotional response, compositional balance, mark making, humour and at times, create that ‘ah ha!’ moment.
There are two main aspects to my work, at present: acrylic paintings on canvas and graphite drawings. I work with a limited palette to give visual impact almost graphical, but look closely and there is movement on the surface. More recently, however, I have been working with different materials and approaches, looking at quality of craftsmanship combined with a surprise element.
Work in my shed/studio most evenings into the late hours.
