What's Been Going Town in Scribbletown

Hello my lovelies, wow, well what's been happening?

The Ladies & Gentlecreatures show came and went in a blink of an eye it seems. I'm really pleased I took the time to do the show, really get back in touch with my own work and had the chance to push the direction of my work somewhere a bit different.




It was a crazy week in the run up to the opening. (Note to self: allow like a month after you finish your pieces to sort out your prints. leaving it to the last week to have everything photographed is nuts, even if the printers say they can do it in two and a half hours they mean they will do it in that time at some-point in a week!) but even with the lack of sleep, plate spinning, money spending etc. I had a great time and I met some great people who really helped me physically and mentally get the show together. Special thanks goes to CLC Marketing for sponsoring the show.

I was pleased with the space, the old Georgian doors and panelling in the basement gallery seemed a fitting backdrop for the work.



I have to admit that by the opening evening I was somewhat of a wreck and a bundle of nerves as to how it was going be received. Being centre stage has never been my strong suit and to have that public focus on myself and the work which is an extension of myself was a frightening step but to see people spend time studying and discussing the work amongst themselves felt good. So to all of you who took the time to venture down and check out the work and leave a message in the comments book I left a big thank you.

Here's a few more pieces from the show.
I'm working on making all work available online for purchase so watch this space. You can currently get the limited edition prints from Iksentrik.co.uk. There are only 10 of each print so grab them while you can because there will be no re-prints!

Check out my flickr for more pieces from the show.

Typically, I haven't blogged in ages. I always say I'll try and do it regularly the mega Fail!
So for the last few months i've been painting and drawing like crazy o canvas, panel and vinyl building up new pieces for my first solo show that will be the first exhibition in Iksentrik's new gallery space. I'm a mix of nerves and excitement as it approaches. The pieces are mostly done now so it's down to organizing prints and frames and finishing off.
Soooooo. If you're in Bath on July 10th be sure to come join us for the preview show from 5 -7pm, and keeping it Bath theme, there will be an acoustic set from Charlie Bath. If you miss that you can still check it out til the 30th :)

Just shipped these bad guys out to the US last week. The guys over at www.customtoyunion.com asked me to be in the line up of artists taking part in their custom blind box 3" Dunny series.
Kinda crazy to go from an 18" Knuckle Bear to something so small but it was a nice challenge and definitely takes a different skill.
There will 10 of my pieces in the set 7 of these and 3 mystery variants. They're up for release at San Diego Comic Con and will be available through the CTU forum so go have a gander.

Inspiration

I'm finding myself wanting to spend less and less time in front of the computer these days. I'm less inclined to the clean lines of vectors and leaning towards the hand drawn/ handmade aesthetic. I'm finding inspiration in artists who really draw with beautiful fluidity. I just found Chow Martin on Society 6 and his work just makes me want to pick up a pencil and get to it.

I think it's something about the dynamics about the work I'm getting drawn to. Maybe I'm drawn to what I feel I lack. I love this 'Amelie' preliminary sketch by Nimit Malavia.

I think it's the sense of kineticism and the line variation or maybe a combination of stillness and movement, or even imagined movement, as if there were more than one time and space. One in reality and one in imagination.

What Develops Julian Callos

I guess I go through periods of stylistic obsessions like most artists but I'm feeling like the last 9 years I've been trying to consolidate the desire to draw the realistic with fantastic and I'm finally feeling like I'm almost at a point where I'm getting there. Not that I ever want to really find that I've resolved it because I think I'd bore myself.

हैप्पी न्यू इयर!

Ok I swear I do this every year but i'm determined to get myself sorted this year. I did a lot of changing in 2009. Mike and I went our separate ways and I've been trying to get to grips with who I am and where to take Indescribble. So this year I'm planning to redesign the website over at indescribble.co.uk, getting involved in more shows and finding new clients.

So watch this space.

First up will be a custom toy show in early February for the launch Iksentrik's new store in Bath!
