Battle Lines is where two artists compete against each other over 90 minutes only using black markers on a white board with the crowd and judge deciding who wins at the end. Usually I don't like adding a competitive element to art as it is completely subjective but I knew I'd be painting alongside my long time compadre Process Smith so I thought it would be fun to do. With no idea what I was going to draw I turned up at The Ostrich Inn with a bag full of Poscas. It was really well attended and had music from Mista Crowe and food from Resist Vegan Kitchen which made for a really busy and entertaining night. Its not important who won the event :) however I was really pleased that my artwork sold on the night to a member of the crowd who had a Korpworm tattooed on his leg. Check the photos below to see. PHOTOS FROM TONY NEROPHOTOS FROM KIRK CHAPMANMassive thanks go out to Prin for organising the event and Simon for letting us take over the venue. Hats off to Process for doing a great job on the other board and a final big thank you to everyone who turned up to support me, as always your support is greatly appreciated.
Next event is scheduled for 27th October, click here to confirm your attendance through Facebook.

Worm army pieces take longer to finish so I'm looking forward to having more time in the future to do more like this.
My favourite thing about this artwork was SkeletonCardboards suggestion that some people are full of beans!!!
A dark and drippy background contrasts the silver moon that catches the light as you walk by. Lots of detail in the korpworm feathers and you can choose whatever colour eyes you want (as long as I have the colour)
Size: 300mm x 600mm Media: Marker pen, spray paint and a liberal splash of Indian ink on wood. Born: June 18th 2017 While exploring concepts for an upcoming group show I decided to start work on a project I've had in the locker for a while. Essentially the idea is to have an army of Korpworms that are all seamlessly linked together over several canvases so where one canvas ends another begins, check out the video to see what I mean. The first 5 pieces are ready to go, check them out here...
Very happy to be a part of the Urban Art group show at Chapel Arts in Cheltenham. Here are some photos of my pieces available at the show (including some work in progress shots). Scroll down for a link for more photos from the the other artists including My Dog Sighs, Mason Storm, Dice67, TankPetrol and many more.
Big thanks to Dice 67 for hooking me up. In 2016 I started a Kickstarter to help fund a solo show at the Play Dead gallery in Southsea. Some of the pledges from that campaign were for commissioned pieces of art and today I was finally able to deliver the very last of those commissions. I don't usually hand deliver work because of the pressure of seeing your art being unwrapped by its new owner but as the pledge was from someone local I decided I would and I'm really glad I did.
Here are a couple of pics of the artwork. It is titled "The Fear Goes Away". |
