Yesterday I received my cardboard guitar ready for customising for this years Love Unplugged event. ‘Love Unplugged is a music and arts project that works to support local talent and provides a voice for charities that make a big difference, both regionally and nationally.’
Its a beautiful piece of work, I don’t want to ruin it with paint.. so I might just pretend I know how to play it around the studio. ..

Inspiration : SuperCrafts

Jul 31 / 2012

As part of my new creative development I am featuring people who I find inspiring and that keep me going within my practice. This will continue on a weekly basis on this blog so keep them little peeepy peepers peeled.

I met Mr Hass from SuperCraft studio when I moved to Islington Mill. Based in the one69a studio we’ve become suuuuper good friends and admires of each others work and ideas. Every time he has some new work I take photographs of the items to go onto his website. From t-shirts, bespoke back gammon boards, zines, record covers, website design, branding, one off screen printed pieces and front cover illustrations, this guy is an absolute don with design, a strong ink and pen wielding master and most of all top studio buddy.

Taking photos of his artwork is an absolute dream to do as the line work is so strong and he just leaves me to it. Without further adieu here is some samples of the work i have taken photos of..

Sound by Numbers

May 11 / 2012

The Volkov Commanders ‘Sound by Numbers’ wall consisted of different artists responding to the idea of giving the audience an instruction that will allow them to experience a sound..
I made a galaxy music score, by following the notes from other dimensions the music scores follow an upward path through the notes but are warped in different ways by every note they go through.
