Another version of 'Mono Eye' painted last night.
Trying out knives to apply paint with and am so far liking, and abusing, the technique.

JAPAN MOLEY FREE ART EXCHANGE
My first post in a ling time (a couple of months?)
This is a project I thought about combining two elements:
Free Art
Moleskine Exchange
A Moleskine Exchange usually works with a notebook, in this case a Japanese Folding Notebook between different artists, either in the local area, city, county or even between continents.
In this case, rather than have the finished book gathering dust the well travelled notebook will either be given away or auctioned for charity.

Southsea free art exhibition - Someone has me!
Yay!
Someone is the proud owner of one of my doodles.
Taken at the It's Yours - Take It event held last weekend in Southsea.
Looking on the Flickr group everyone who attended came away with something and being part of it is great! Kudos to My Dog Sighs for organising the event, I am pretty sure that the next one will be tip top as well.

Minotaur Dude
This was created in response to DogTired's Flickr group 'Pimp My Dude'.
Basically DogTired Sent out some whistles/Ocarinas with the brief of Pimping them anyway we could then posting back to her.
Green Stuff was applied over the whistle before being painted.

Card Flame WIP - Waiting for the final piece to dry
The scan is pretty ropey but conveys what I have just done - the paint is barely dry, and could do with a few more coats to erase the marker outlines - The concept seems to have worked out okay in 3d so I just need to find an application for it.

Card Flame WIP - Not enough card to finish the job!
It's not exactly what I had planned but I found some free time in between ironing, searching for a new home and having a tasting for my upcoming wedding and have started the process of changing a Moleskine doodle to a full fledged piece of art.
My usual source of material, cat food boxes, was the place to start along with the trusty Sharpie. using the original Moley doodle as a rough guide I marked out the outline the cut around with a scalpel.
15/06/2008:
Updated Still no movement with this, With a wedding and a move on the horizon I am finding very little time to get anything completed.
The various pieces of card are then stacked in a 3D'ish manner - I am hoping that this turns out okay.
I just need to get my Cats some more food so I can pillage the packaging to complete this first stage. then I can look at painting, then sticking, the finished pieces together.
22/06/2008
Updated. Thanks to my extremely greedy cats I have all the pieces I need. Painting should start pretty soon, followed by assembly.

Moleskine 2 40 Things To Do
The arrangements of these shapes continue to interest me. This weekend I need to do the following:
Washing and ironing.
have a tidy round the house.
work on some scaled up artworks and manage some test pieces.
Hopefully I can get something meaningful out of my Moleskine and onto some card, canvas etc.

Moleskine 2 38 Made it!
Its funny how things turn out.
I like the imagery I have used here. Geometric blocks Isometric/vanishing point? and the lone, faceless character. I think my current move to brown pen has helped me - sounds funny - but the brown is less stark against the page softer... and less prone to smudging! The Pilot G-tec 4 is a bit fine but I have two so need to make use of them.
I am going to try working this image up in paint and in a slightly larger format:
2 block colours.
Stencil?
Block cut?
I will return to this once I have time to paint.

Moleskine 2 37 Doodling myself out of a block?
Something a tiny bit different from the norm. I normally try and doodle round or through blocks I guess I am just stressed at the minute, which is another reason why I try and doodle and sketch, just to find some tranquility.
I have found that my doodles and ideas aren't going any further than the page of my 'Skine. The tail end of last year and the beginning of this one found me with a fair amount of creative stuff to get on with but all is barren now.
Maybe I should do what I am already doing - putting pen to paper.

Moleskine 2 34 Clouds and Flame ?
I was at a loss for something to doodle, no crazy characters popping into my head, no thoughts or ideas to put onto paper. I started doodling these cloud formations although they seem to have turned into smoke and fire.
I found it quite relaxing to doodle these, applying lots of ink to the paper was quite therapeutic and enjoyable.

Moleskine2 31
Finally had an upgrade to my system since my last two installs of Windows went bonkers. Windows wouldn't pick up my HP printer/scanner properly and started throwing fits if it picked it up at all.
Anyway I have now been pursuaded to convert to Linux, and am actually impressed. I can now use my printer and scanner without any issues.
Anyway another page from my current Moleskine, doodles as usual. I have really been struggling to put anything to paper this last week or so, mainly by being to busy and getting really stressed because of work, upcoming marriage and the looming possibility of moving house!
I just filled the left hand page trying to get something onto paper and then moved over to these oddball guys on the right. The cloud formations are something I am playing with.

Flow Colour From Way Back When
Actually only from 2007. I have just had a look through some old files and the back end of my Flickr account and found the on the very edge of going once I add some more files..
Tinkering around with Indian Ink and cleaned/Coloured In Photoshop.
It's a bit lazy to produce this in PS when I could just as easily contrived this with some 'real' media, so lazy that I produce quite a few in the space of a couple of hours. Useful, they act as tests and I am quite positive that I will transfer the idea over to canvas.

Moleskine2 30
This character is cropping up pretty frequently in my scribbles.
Faceless, I think that it is difficult to see what emotions these guys portray.

Pencil Giraffe
Making a start on something I have casually been asked to get on with!
Does there have to be a giraffe in here? - No
What does Pencil Giraffe mean? - It's just random words that do sound pretty cool.
ARGH!!!

A Scrap of Card
Doodled over a piece of left over card.
Something else to add to the ever growing pile - I have no idea where to put these little scraps.
