I threw my hat in once again for the Posca Artist of the Year competition. Februarys prompt was LOVE so I went with this heartbreaking piece.

Silently Winning Battles
£55.00
My good friend Daniel Wilson posted a shout out specifically for all those who keep their darkest moments private. In his post was the line "you've been silently winning battles and transforming yourself" and I liked it because in this age where it's ok to talk about your feelings there are a lot of people that still dont. This one is for you. Size: 14.5cm x 21cm approx. unframed Media: Uni-Pin marker on paper As a bit of a side project I'm doing these 13x13 pieces on cardboard...just to keep me on form. Here are the latest pieces.     I've recently been listening to a lot of Linkin Park again and that combined with the fact that I need to start my daily art drills again has coincided to produce this little piece.  For those that don't know art drills is where I force myself to draw every morning before I do anything else. It's the top priority, before commissions, tax returns, emails, phone calls etc. It only has to be something small so you can finish it and feel like you've accomplished something. As soon as you've done art drills then you can get on with your day. I find it helps keep your focus on what being a creative practitioner is all about. I'm also finding Hybrid Theory and Meteora inspiring. Original Artwork by KorpI'm not a Prick...You're a Prick!

I've just added a quote to this piece I did last year that I think really suits it! This was based on a piece I did for Inktober. The prompt was CRUEL and I wanted to show how cruel the mind could be. The shadow (blackworm) being the manifestation of mental illness holding onto you and stopping you from moving forward. The palms are up in an attempt to fool with an "I'm fine" position. Size: 30cm x 12.5cm (Framed 34cm x 16.5cm) Media: Posca pen and Promarker on cardboard Dated: November 2020 Signed: K Primula Veris
£350.00
Sold out I love the mix of the grungy background and the delicate foreground that plays with my ongoing theme of how the masks we wear cover what is really going on underneath. The ornate gold frame has also been painted and sprayed symbolising that the darkness cannot be contained. Made from a hand drawn and hand cut stencil based on several Mucha posters and represents a future direction for my artwork. Size: 60cm x 75cm Media: Spray paint, Indian ink on wood and gold frame September 2019 You Make Me Hurl

Size: 19cm x 19cm approx. unframed Media: Posca/Molotow/Promarker on paper I'll be honest! I like Corona beer but I did buy this pack of 24 bottles just for the packaging.  Using the blue section across the bottom I split the canvas into day and night with the rain drops going down during the day but up during the night.  First time I've used Light Blue Posca in a long time as well, pretty happy with the subtle effect it has.    Ever feel like you have a collection of masks you wear to help you get through the day? This new limited edition print is available to pre-order now. 50% of the proceeds will go towards the Skate-Aid charity.  Obviously I'm colouring in my own book. I see it as research for volume 2. Anyway here is page 1 using Promarkers.  I totally failed at Inktober this year. I got halfway through and then just got too busy to spare time for the project. I've kept the prompts though to try and finish before next Inktober if possible. Here are my first few attempts. Many sold but a few are still available.                Had a great time at Bring The Paint 2019 pasting up over 100 Korpworm posters. Huge thanks to Izzy and the gang for organising such a great festival.     Bring The Paint T-Shirt CampaignI loved the poster so much I decided to put it on a t-shirt. You can pre-order your own t-shirt before 30th June for just £16.99, after that the price goes up to £21.99.
I've recently launched a campaign to help me get some t-shirts printed. If I pre-sell 20 before the end of February we go to print. If I don't sell 20 then everyone gets a refund. Here is how the design came about.  The original sketch was completed a few weeks ago during a session where I was experimenting with new feet for my Korpworm character. I'd settled on these 3 pointed feet that, to me, look a little like the corners of a pillow case. I added all the other detail like the feathers, body stripes and arms but then, in order to fix what I thought was missing in the overall composition, I added really big fingers.  Next stage was to scan the design and run it through Illustrator to turn it into a vector image. I knew the image would naturally work as black ink on a white t-shirt but I also wanted to add an option to have white ink on a black t-shirt (because black t-shirts are a lot more popular). So you can see from the image below I've added a small white border.   Now being a poor starving artist I cant just go and pay for 20 t-shirts to be printed (don't feel sorry for me, I love my job) so I needed to mock up what they would look like. Luckily there are a few free Photoshop mock up files you can grab off the internet that do a great job and in past experience have been very accurate to what actually gets delivered.   So the wrinkles are added to make it look more realistic but the first bit of feedback I got was you could have ironed the shirts...so I found a neat little Android app called UMM: Universal Marketing Mock-up that creates mock ups for you on a mobile device.   If the campaign is successful the boys and girls and Sea Dog Print Studio have saved me a spot mid-March to have them printed so you can feel confident that the quality will be super high. So help me out and pre-order your t-shirt today using the links below. |
