Folked out
Enjoyed an exhausting, weird and wonderful day on the coast at the alternative Folkestone Fringe Festival with geek Heather. From dress-up portraits to ringing giant 16th Century bells on the seafront, from derelict railway art installations and a wall covered in scratch card art – to hidden Tracey Emin treasures. A memorable, well-walked journey of creative discovery!
For my heart art, I’ve used a photo that I took of an art installation by Jonathan White called Rare Love - it was one of mine and Heathers favourites.The day started out a bit grey and I shot it from an abstract angle to enhance the erie atmosphere we experienced at that point. I’ve adjusted the curves/levels etc in pshop a bit and cropped into a jaunted heart shape to reflect my overall feeling of the day.
I've also collected a bunch of photos that I took to give you an idea of what to expect-plus a fab snap of Heathers shoes!
Pattern Paddy
I couldn’t help myself. I made use of this pattern in illustrator by showing off our dog!
Lock in the sunshine
Todays been such a grey and rainy day I wanted to use some yellow roses but I don;t know where the chains came from…the I had a breeze through Phoebe’s cool heart blog and saw her chain hearts…maybe that’s where they came from!?! thanks for the subconscious inspiration there lady! x
hard graph
Remotely uploaded to Flickr archive yesterday. I lost my patience with it really, I loose interest too quickly with repetitive tasks…I realise its my weakness!
How much?
I used to make this funny little bookmarks when I was a kid, where you unfolded them to reveal a hidden message. I made a super-sized heart version today. I used unfamiliar tools too, my new super sized marker and and pink posterman biggie 50 marker – you can see them here.
Just missed
Doodletubes
I’ve played with a doodle by using effects in illustrator and photoshop… I’m thinking etch-a-sketch and pasta tubes …and the blues and greens inspired by the blue skies meeting the sea in Brighton today…
wise hearts
Remotely uploaded on Saturday night. Inspired by the tree tattoo in my latest love – Carnivale t.v Series.
White permanent marker on wood effect lino sample.
Gem
My mate Megan is a treasure of a friend and after leaving her to make her way home on Friday night I was instantly compelled to doodle this big jewel heart xx
