Really like it.
Put together nicely. I don't really go for the bolder cut & paste collage.
I've liked ero's with a gun since i first saw it & 'Fred' is a clockwork bonus :-)

can't think of his name mate.
but always liked the little fellow, and always wanted to use him in a picture.
so thought I would change him into Alex ftom Clockwork Orange.

cheers mate,
I am working on creating more and more depth in these.
Trying to adapt my own style of collage.
Treating them as a convential painting.

Love the homepride/clockwork orange hybrid mate. Would like to see this standing on it's own, maybe set inside one of your moody backdrops that you're so good at.

Will be doing Alex (homeprideman) on its own at some stage, was originally going to do him with a plain moody background and a splash of dayglow orange.
but might do him with a backdrop from the film now

thanks again

didnt time myself on that one 'piccadilly' but it took along time, building the layers up.

The 'Summertime' full paint that I showed you, more than 150hrs
will post some more pics of the other peices later

Very clever

NICE MATE LOOKS REALL NICE THAT

obviously great at pencil drawings, but as an image goes I'm finding it hard to focus on as a whole, my eye isn't led anywhere in particular, feels too busy. For me the the little clockwork orange dude would work better as the central theme with the rest stripped away somewhat, with a message around him.

i feel with your calibre of skill and imagination you possess you should boil down what you are trying to get across, pick some favourite characters and concentrate on a series of works on each, developing them with a message / feel etc

[Rourke]

thanks very much fellas

[sashaz]

the coca cola logo in there is a nice little touch.

Thanks mate,

Was lookin forward to meeting you on the night.
Where you there?

[Replete]

yes Indeed I was there for 20 minutes. I'm the most inconspicuous 6' 5 hooded, furtive man alive;]

Yeah I wanted to meet you but I turned up alone (as my mates who were going to comegot swine flu), not knowing anyone there and it was rammed and I thought if I started shouting "Rourke!!! Who are you? Where are you??? SHOW YOURSELF!!!" I'd scare the locals and get rudely shown the door so I left of my own accord and got the train back.
