Thanks Dave. There are things about my progress that I like. My style is moving in a direction I'm happy with. I'm enjoying chucking things into 4 for some reason
I'm mindful I've been a bit quite here lately. The reason is I've been unusually busy getting some art work together for a few exhibitions over the summer. 5 double sided plaster panels with lifesize images on each size. The title of the series is "Communion". I feel a strong motivation to connect with some greater sense of meaning (through my personal relationships, music, creativity, work, etc.,...) and the works are born of that really. There is a slight musical tie-in. One of the images is of funky drummer Clyde Stubblefield. On the reverse of his panel is a break dancer. Playing as he did in James Brown's band, Stubblefield is one of the most sampled drummers of all time, his rhythms appearing in the sort of hip-hop tunes that the break dancer might be moving around to. The idea being that music can connect people over generations and cultures.
Anyway, if anyone fancies a look, and lives in the south west, the 10 works will be exhibited first in Stroud Sub Rooms at the end of May, and end up in Bristol at the Paint Works the end of July.
This is what they looked like when finished. (Well one side does.) Really, a video is needed for the full effect.. here.
Been very satisfied by how they've exhibited so far. One remaining exhibition in Bristol in July. Should anyone be interested: https://www.expressions-arts.co.uk/

And yes. I am trying to inject something of Henry Ford into the artistic mix.
Was asked to do another The Good The Bad and The Ugly set. Here's Tuco from that (happier with it than I was with the first)...
Well this is them.
A couple of portraits, split, and sent to 2 fellow fans. :-)
I'm grateful for your feedback.
Yes. I do seem to be getting through a lot or blue. Uniforms and otherwise! :-D
Not sure which.
And, I agree.
I.
Have.
Made.

I'll be in Cornwall in May, but that's not really relevant, I guess.
