• Speak Up! Ok, I will !

  Sunday, Sep 6, 2009 4:38PM / Standard Entry

  I have converted the powerpoint I showed at Speak Up! into a movie - oooooh aren't I clever!
  Ive even managed to embed it into the blog and everything - its only taking me ALL day and and a billion Goggle searches to suss it out.
  I didnt get as far as adding the music (even my genius has limits), so for those who want the full 'I felt as if I was in the room with you' experience, then listen to Mr Scruff, Valley of the Sausages at the same time.
  Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

  Big shout out of monster thanks to E.V.E.N.T & AnD for being awesome and supportive of HK artists, and to Elden for his trigger happy photo taking skills.
  
  
  
  
  Side Note - new discovery of a band called: "Quattro Ritmo" who performed. They must have secretly installed ecstasy dispersing devices to their instruments judging by the beaming smiles of EVERYONE in the room and the plentiful dance grooves being thrown around by the entertained crowd. My sources tell me they will be performing at the Oct Speak Up - Happy Days!!

  The competition is for a charity organisation named Shelter:
  
  In 2008 Leo Burnett launched their “House of Cards” campaign for Shelter. It was designed to raise awareness of the housing insecurity facing millions of families in the UK in 2009., with over 1.9 million households awaiting social housing and an estimated 75,000 facing repossession this year
  
  
  
  The winner gets the chance to be featured alongside a ridiculous number of prominent artists
  (see http://www.shelterhouseofcards.org.uk/artists)
  
  It takes 30 secs to vote, follow the link, click 'love it'
  Then leave comments here below for Jon to see about the fact that he needs to get his ass on AnD so we can all see more of his amazing work !!!

• Art Fashion Fusion Medley

  Wednesday, Aug 19, 2009 4:17PM / Standard Entry

  “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.”

   Oscar Wilde
  

  
  

  I have always enjoyed drawing influences from art, and two artists in particular helped incite my curiosity with painting from the beginning of my pencil explorations.
  During my art / fashion education I further explored both of these unique styles to produce capsule fashion collections and illustrations, and I felt each was worth revisiting in order to provide you all with some new bloggage fodder.
  
  1. Degas - never fails to captivate my eye with his beautiful dancers and in this new illustration I wanted to mix it up with the pose drawn from his famous bronze statue  (The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer 1879-80), the style from one of his many pastel studies (Dancer Adjusting Her Slipper 1873), and the dress as worn by the gorgeous Ms Cara G at the ISHK opening night. (serious outfit envy - have been looking for an excuse to put it into a drawing ever since!)

  
  

  

  
  

  Here it is entitled 'DegasDoris'

  

  
  

  2. Picasso - Im not going to bore you all with a long winded passage about the ingenious of this well known artist, nor how he shaped and led an art movement blah blah blah.

  I just like how bizarre his shizzle is, especially the eyes...

  

  

  
  

  So here's my ode to the master, entitled 'WispyPicassoDoris'
