Travelling exhibition

Since October 2010 a couple of drawings I made are touring Shetland.  It all started with a very kind invitation by local artist Paul Bloomer to share an exhibition sponsored by Shetland Arts, purely developed using the iPod Touch and the application Brushes. Paul tends to create outdoors, braving the local weather every all year round. I used a short trip to Orkney to produce most of the pieces for this exhibition as I find travelling a great moment for sketching in general. To reflect the medium in which the drawings were created we decided to print them in the size of an iPod touch screen.

First stop for the touring exhibition was the Departures lounge at Sumburgh Airport, this meant that only people flying away from Shetland was able to see the prints.
Since February Brushes is at the Peerie Shop Cafe in Lerwicktown, and I promise to post whenever they move to a new location. Meantime I leave you with a few animations of some of the pieces and how hey came about, click the images on the left to view on full definition.

Back volunteering!

No time to settle after the holidays really and back in front of the screen trying to meet the first deadline of 2011.
Out this week Shetland Befriending Scheme is back recruiting volunteers for their project. Since 2008 I have been producing the images for their campaigns and I can proudly announce I have been doing it again. Designed, drawn and finalized during the space of a week, the new poster was conceived using the ideas provided by the SBS's staff. For the last 3 campaigns they have agreed to graciously take part in a brain storming session where I try to gather as much info as possible. Ground rules for the brainstorm are minimal and basically all ideas in any shape or form count: words, thoughts, stories, images, colours and anything else I can write, draw or collect to have with me in the following stage.
Have a look and see what you think triggered this new addition to my befriending work
