Berlin Sunrises and Polyshufflez

Tue Nov 3, 2009, 3:10 PM
Well, I'm thoroughly broken after a long stag weekend in Berlin! It's a truly remarkable city. From the architecture, culture, people and music there's something inherently compelling about Berlin life. I'm already itching to get back out there again and already thinking whether it's feasible to freelance out there : ) Unsurprisingly it's inspired me further. : )

On my return from Berlin I had a package waiting for me, 5 copies of the Polyshufflez LP which Fabien sent over. As they were getting printed in Germany I'd not seen any proofs and was a little apprehensive about how the sleeves would eventually turn out, but I was relieved to discover that they were spot on! I'll upload some pictures of them this week sometime. The remixes sleeve is almost finalised now too. Finally some more new stuff!

Right, back to the recovery...

Hey man, very nice work you have here.

I noticed that you made some of the artwork for the akanda remix competitions. Are those wallpapers still available somewhere now that the akanda site is down?

Hey man, thanks for the kind words. My apologies for taking so long to get back. The site's back up now [link] I forgot to renew the URL, D'oh!

hello!
I’m proper stoked on your work - it seems like you treasure spending some time to get results - I’ve been too impatient with it all recently.

‘s nice to see some forum related stuff too ;)

Cheers fella! Dunno if I treasure spending the time on some of my stuff. It's more that I just have to to appease the perfectionist in me, I really don't have much choice!

Inspired by your notebook deviations I've gone out and got my own so I can do some sketching to and from work. It's awesome!
Just throwing little ideas down in 10 minute blasts, not worrying about the finishing too much. It's quite therapeutic for a perfectionist!

Heh, notebooks are teh awesome!

I know what you mean. If you set out to do something, you better make it good!
Mindless doodling is a way of balancing out the desire for perfection - fast, crappy scribbles, no serious thought behind it.

What are you working on at the moment?

Nothing in particular really. I'm just trying to loosen my style, find a few things that I really like drawing and see if I can develop some ideas. I'd like to work on canvas at some point this year but want to have strong enough subject matter first.

These 'Spine Bubble' characters might be an avenue worth perusing on canvas but I still need to take them further.

I'd also like to do an on-line flash comic, so I'm slowly developing ideas for that, or revisiting old ideas and seeing if they'll still work.


Oh, and I'm designing/building my own website too!

I've found myself being a bit too precious about the pocket sketchbook! Still, I'm starting to let go, a little :)

How about you, what stuff you got on the go or in the pipeline?

Ahh, the 'Spine Bubble' guys would work great on a large scale.
Maybe start with sketching one out BIG, then fill in with a simple colour pallette - bringing in more detail as you see fit.

It is frightening scaling sketches into 'real paintings' though - so much more to answer for!


Likewise, I want to do more canvasessss, and I'm slowly trying to get a little skate comic together.
I have one completed rough draft, need to re-draw and colour it though!

How are you finding the website business? Will you put yer music on it too?
