Decay, acrylic ink and fineliner on paper, 44 x 34cm. For this piece I used a photo of an abandoned building in Bayern/Bavaria taken by https://www.instagram.com/artsbyxd/
Recently I’m loving experimenting with the contrast of an inky background overlaid with more structured forms. I do want to add a little more of an abstract feel to upcoming artworks.

Have a couple of pieces in this months open exhibition at the Art Yard gallery.
Cradley Train Station and George’s Dock Ventilation are both ink and mixed media on paper.
The first piece is also entered into the Cradley Heath Challenge where visitors to the gallery can vote for their favourite pieces reflecting the Cradley area.

1: Royal Hospital, acrylic ink, ink pen, image transfer on paper, 40 x 30 cm
2: Grainger’s Lane, acrylic ink, ink pen, image transfer on paper, 40 x 30 cm
Each artwork has layers of image transferred vintage diagrams, maps and text relating to each building/area.
Both buildings have been empty for quite a few years. The Royal Hospital is currently being taken down, there are plans to use the land for new housing. The building on Grainger’s Lane was once a pub but now sits condemned on the street corner.
These pieces are in The Art Yard’s current exhibition, mentioned in my previous post.

Night Drive, acrylic ink on canvas textured paper, 117.8 x 1012.6cm
The next piece in my Gotye Project.
There’s been a long gap between the last piece and this one just because I’ve been busy with many other things.
This one came together pretty easily as I had the image in my head for a while- the ink itself has a pretty organic form in that I let it do it’s own thing on the paper. I like that the ink picked up the texture of the paper beneath it, I didn’t have to add any extra texture to the piece
This is one of my favourite songs on the Like Drawing Blood album- you can listen to the song here on Youtube.
