Although it is a big investment to start with I believe digital art is the future for artists because, in the long term, it will reduce your material costs. Its also very accessible, I just need to grab my tablet to draw nowadays which has all the colours and all the pens. On saying that you cant beat getting your hands dirty, making a mistake with no undo button and trying to get away with. The creative process will always be a balance between the two so my advice is don't take sides, bake your cake and eat it. Here are some recent digital pieces I've created where I have tried to incorporate my IRL style of brown paper, Posca pens and stickers.

I have always held a firm belief that art is a team sport and that we can produce better work and come up with more creative ideas when we work together. I was discussing this with Sam Roddan from Art Pop-Up and how I wanted to create a sketchbook that could be left in a coffee shop for anyone to draw in. Something that would encourage people to work together even if they couldn't get their diaries aligned. The result was Sam loved the concept and has been able to bring it to life as the Community Sketchbook Project. As a result I'll be setting up in Strays every Wednesday from 10am to doodle in the community sketchbook so feel free to join me for a drink and doodle. If you cant make Wednesdays the good news is the sketchbook and pens will be left behind the counter so if you want to have a go just ask a member of staff.    I've just finished my first piece of work for 2022. Its a lyric from a Linkin Park song called Waiting For The End. I see it as quite an uplifting piece about being patient and knowing things will change. There was a second piece being created alongside it with further lyrics but it didn't work out so I'm just sharing the one for now.  This is also worm 22-100 which means I'll only be drawing 100 worms this year as I try and channel new ideas and techniques. Disappointingly the colour of the worm has come out blue in the photo but it is Emerald and Aqua Green in real life.  I'm busy working on some digital stuff and Korpfest so things will be quiet for a while. See you soon.
It's a double art drop this Friday at 9pm BST. To mark the ever changing global currency environment I have created some digital artwork to be sold for 1 Tez and some real world art on US dollar bills to be sold at $100. As crypto currencies soar and use of paper money diminishes I wonder when 1 tez will be worth more than $100. 1 year? 5 years? Dollar Bill Art DropAs the demand for paper currency diminishes I'm more often than not looking at bank notes as a canvas. I like the idea of increasing the face value of the note through creating artwork on it. Upcycling it visually and and upgrading it financially as a way of sticking 2 fingers up at the banks. These dollar bills will be listed at 100 times the face value on Friday at 9pm (between £70-£75+P&P) The blue one!  The violet one!  The red one!  NFT Art DropThis piece has been specially created to be sold on the Hic Et Nunc platform. It shows an army of Korpworms living within the iconic logo of Hic Et Nunc. This is the third in the series of brown paper posters mimicking the style of my real world paste ups. 20 have been minted with 10 being released at 1 Tez each.  If digital art and NFT ownership is your thing why not give my new Foundation.app profile a follow where I'll soon be listing artwork to be sold for ETH.
By popular demand (bullying, peer pressure, poking etc) I'm excited to bring you the first ever official #Korptober prompt list. KORPTOBER RULES: 1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want). 2) Post it* 3) Hashtag it with #korptober and #korptober2021 (and #KorpAcademy) 4) Repeat Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. Korptober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better. That's it! Now go make something beautiful. *Post it on any social media account you want or just post it on your refrigerator. The point is to share your art with someone. :) ...and don't forget kids, all art is theft but if you do copy someone else, credit them! [Rules inspired by Inktober] 😬  We had a blast in 8 O'clock Club drawing this wrinkly old fella inspired by the work of Dee Dee Kid.

Just finished my half of a colab deck with the awesome Cur5. I'll be sending it over their way soon, cant wait to see what they do with it. Show Cur5 some love here.  I took a trip to Southsea to see the latest installation by My Dog Sighs. Housed in a derelict building where over the last 18 months he has been adding his Quiet Little Voices. Here are some photos I took but get a better view in the walkthrough at the bottom of the post.  While I was down in Southsea I got a chance to check out Farks new place The Corner Collective. I've been wanting to visit ever since hearing about it when Fark came up to Peterborough for Korpfest. A venue on the high street with resident artists studios out back and exhibitions out front. I wasn't disappointed, its everything you'd want in a creative hub. Show some love and go follow The Corner Creative and its resident artists.  Lets not forget Soak who put on an excellent exhibition. |
