Wish there was more people for me to interact with ah well, it went good anyway, here’s some photos and the video that I made out of them remember that the video [...]

So I’ve made it this far. Who knew when I started out in september 2008 that I could keep up with a visual blogging diary for so so long. Thank you to all who have visited the blog over the year and a bit, and to all those who will visit in the future. This [...]

Stage one includes evidence of my work continuing from already completed materials, mainly to do with Fountain. First is a picture of me with balloon, an excited boy whose ecstatic to see fountain for real possibly? Second is a wall drawing of fountain with hirst dots all over it. Third is a fountain playing a [...]

To give my work some (more) context I will now look at works of artist who have done or attempted similar things to myself. Robert Gober: when making my fountain mask I was told about the artist Robert Gober who works with objects that look like readymades but are actually handmade. He even alludes to [...]

Continuing with development: I liked how all the previous wall drawings looked together; my subconscious working up again. May develop this later.These two pieces stemmed from the cel idea. They work by playing the character of the fountain against the recognisable mickey mouse. In the first, the fountain is given two ears, in the second [...]
Wall Drawings

Wall drawings are an interesting addition to art practice, they offer a different surface to work on. The main reason I am choosing to use wall drawings as a way of conveying my art is to suggest it being impossible to sell them. Of course its not impossible, as we know with banksy, but it [...]

Sooooo get that? its an interpretation of Hal Foster’s views on art, which I kinda agree with. The (postmodern) artist becomes a manipulator of signs more than a producer ofart objects, and the viewer and active reader of messages rather than a passive contemplator of the aesthetic. From that drawing I could go in a [...]
Cels

So here are some cels that I created with the idea of having them as valuable collector’s items from a cartoon that was never made. So I quite like them, especially the first one. Freddy Fountain as a young character (based on steamboat willie/plane crazy mickey). This naivity tries to evoke nostalgia to the days [...]
