I was feeling complicated

Posted on November 21, 2012 by Guthlac

Just trying different things when using Brushes – I’m still having difficulty getting a real likeness whilst using Brushes – so this is just a man.

Another digital doodle.  Now I think it is worth while explaining how this created.  I spent and hour or so doodling line after line on Photoshop.  Many of the lines were incorrect but I decided to not alter anything.  As a result this isn’t really the likeness it might have been but that doesn’t matter as this was more about the free flowing line making.  In the end I couldn’t resist using colour washes to add a little emphasis to try and correct some of the worst mistakes I made.

Time for scratching my head – I’m in the process of creating a new book.  It has been two years since I published a collection of my iPhonegraphs so over the next week or so I will be wrangling something together.  It can be very frustrating for numerous reasons but ultimately very rewarding.

Reflections on Ansel Adams

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Guthlac
Well I have slept on the Ansel Adams exhibition at the National Maritime Museum and I feel just the same as I did when I posted my first thoughts yesterday.  I think the main reason for this is that the idea behind the exhibition didn’t work for me.  That doesn’t distract from the works at all or for that matter the way that they were displayed, just the exhibition curation.  I suspect it might have been just to see the works on their own, although that would probably not have been as accesible as the way that the exhibition was put together.  So in the end I guess the exhibition is very much is in the eye of the beholder – it was just that this beholder was left somewhat cold.

Blakemore and Adams

Posted on November 18, 2012 by Guthlac

First impressions are always the worst – but here goes – for me the Adams exhibition is a little disappointing. This does not mean the works are in anyway below par, but rather familiarity breads contempt not helped by commentary that wasn’t that interesting.

I’ve just re read the last and I think that is harsh but it is the way I feel at the moment. However one link I hadn’t made before but is obvious is the similarity between adam’s work and John Blakemore. I need to think about this a bit more. I’m on line at:
