LIGHTBOX

A3 Tests - have worked really well so I will be investing in some AO light boxes in the near future. The above are tests with double layered digital drawings but I also intend to try a double layer digital and physical drawing...

INBOX

Some photos from the INBOX series shown at HMS, Long Eaton and Art-Athina in Greece (above). Each piece is 30 x 30 cm and 35 artists contributed work. I did a literal interpretation of the title and tracked my inbox use for a week using my digital pen (never use a mouse - have a phobia :)) with carbon paper and cartridge taped to my digital tablet. There is a blurb catalogue available of the show  http://www.blurb.com/b/6218836-inbox Big thank you to Jackie Berridge of Harrington Mill Studios who organised it all.

Black on White exhibition in Wales

Spent yesterday picking up my work after the 'Black on White' exhibition finished at the Oriel Gallery in Mold. The exhibition was a drawing based one which - of course - made me happy. Really nice space - part of Clywd Theatr Cymru and both the space and the theatr are HUGE. 

  

3 years, 36 bottles & an acrylic case...

3 years ago I did a piece of work which involved trapping the essence of 36 coloured pencil drawings in glass bottles. Other things got in the way and I never sorted out the presentation but at long last I think I have found the perfect acrylic display case. Not sure whether it will fit all 36 bottles yet (still need to put it on the wall) but initial calculations look promising...

Light boxes...

I'm doing a bit of research on light boxes - the piece currently showing at the Cupola would, I think, look good on an optional light box. Not sure if I can put 2 sheets of duratrans/ acetate in it but I've ordered an A3 magnetic one for testing. It may be possible to have the duratrans in the light box and then tape the acetate on top? (a bit like an x-ray box). Or even just tape both on top? Liked the one above as it reminds me of a tablet/ computer monitor with the black rim - digital drawing and all that... and I also like the slim profile. The A0 size is quite expensive - but I don't think it's any more than a traditional frame of the same size. I do have a light panel somewhere which fits inside a frame (can be cut to size) which I got ages ago for my shadow drawings - must try to find it - but I think they are only available in smaller sizes and so no good for my large drawings.
