More arty things :)

I have been at it again, in amongst doing my project work I wanted to jazz up my newly converted studio, they I spied my glass paints and had a genius idea, I would decorate my window :) As im not the best at free design i used a template of a pattern i liked which i taped to the other side of the glass so i could follow it, my work is far from perfect but painting on upright glass is very tricky :/
So, here is part 1 of my new window design, there will be more to follow soon...

My Space

A few arty things at last! These are a few of my first creations for the summer project set by NUCA. The project was titled "My Space" and we can express our surroundings,whether real or virtual, city, town or room, however we please, and the following are what I created.

I basically took photos of various rooms in my house and transformed them into single image collages and behind them retained the original image to act as a transparent frame around the collages. The photomontages being inspired by the amazing work of David Hockney, more about him later...

Here are my own Hockney inspired creations, enjoy!

My bedroom.


My living room.


My study.





After these I had a little fun playing around with a couple of the photos that I took on my walk around Whitlingham Country Park and this is what I came up with...
