BEEN A LONG TIME. BUT A LONG SUMMER OF PAINTING..

In this summer of 2010 i having been kicking of my live painting adventures all over the uk. going down to teignmounth to paint the water sports centre was the first of many. you might think that going down to a lovely little fishing town in summer would be lush weather, how wrong was everyone. the event was organized by mos shaw and kate roberts from the Voetstoots Gallery. a great day was had by all, and hopefully gave the locals something interesting to look at.

next came upfest at the tobacco factory. as the event was a mash up james kelly worked on the background and i worked on the os map paste up. this was an exciting new move for my work as i had never worked whith paste ups of with some before.


then came painting the underpass tunnels in kidderminster . this was to improve the area by brightening up the tunnels with a few licks of paint. i chose to use a de-humanized baby by making it look like a crash test dummy.

its been a busy old summer with more live painting to come as i am finding it very quickly becoming my new addiction (adding to a big list already). i hope that one day on your travels you will bump into one of my paintings and maybe cheer your day up a little.
