I miss analogue
Two images in this post.
Both were created using Analogue printing technology.
This image, The Card, is a color photocopy using an analogue copier that would find amazing colours in anything it touched. I loved the thing, and it was used to make lovely band flyers around Hobart by the savvy. There's a version of The Card below that's quite different - it's a manipulated via digital wizardry scan. This just came out like that - somewhat arcane to my mind.
This is Peril On The Sea.
It's a photocopy onto light blue card using brown ink. The poor assistant at the copy shop would have to pull out a huge ink roll and put in another and I would make ten cards for her trouble. I made very few of these and have but one left. It's precious in it's way as the technology is outmoded and gone, which I shall miss as I love the feel of these things. This lone print has survived much and has a few little creases; the back of it features the delicate filigree nibbles of silverfish as well.
The irony that I can share them readily due to digital technology doesn't escape me though.
the Peril print is For Sale, by the by.

No Art Yet, but...
I am stoked as I'll be having a solo exhibition next year. At this stage, it's to be called "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" and it will be an expansion of the construction (see below) I made for the Real Good Drawer show (also see below).
It'll be at INFLIGHT A.R.I.
The idea is to take up the entire space and make a huge environment that will be sort of a forest, a mountain range and a throne. All in the firmest lo-fi traditions of course, unless I get some kind of high paying job and can pay people to dress as trolls.
