Cheers for your comments Manty
Its made from mainly his autobiography book. with some small areas of newsprint and magazine. But entirely from paper, ripped, diced, and cut into fine bits. Some spraypainted for different shades of colour.
Dots - Yes they are punched/cut 1.5mm paper dots individually cut and then placed. in various different shades/colours, then placed on to create and halftone blend.
Thanks

NICE to Meet yaโฆ NICE, by Replete on Oct 2, 2010 19:09:45 GMT 1, That's a lot of work put in there mate, I look forward to seeing it in the show.
The microdots being alluded to are small tablets of LSD and a personal favourite of my teenage years especially a batch of love hearts kicking around in 1992.
I get the feeling if you licked Mark's face you'd get a similar potent trip as he must exude a substantial amount of psychoactive compounds cutaneously like a very large Bufo alvarius

NICE to Meet yaโฆ NICE, by Replete on Oct 3, 2010 2:32:33 GMT 1, 1992 was a vintage year it seems. One of my experiences on them involved just as me and my mate were peaking in his flat a young Joanne Frogatt (just before her days in Coronation Street, Bad Girls etc) and her gaggle of noisy fisher women in waiting turning up out of the blue and then proceeded to begin climbing all over the flat like a swarm of giggling geckos.
We bailed and took shelter in our other mate's basement until we thought it was safe to venture back after the infestation had abated.
Crazy days...

Vintage year!!! yeah crazy times indeed. Many a funny story when i thought my 2 mates were the Crankees?? Playing cards with some rich Turkish lads in Uni and then arguing as they ended up loosing the keys for their triumph dolamite sprint. Scariest being 3 of us going for night time walk in the Welsh valleys/deep forest, no torch and each would take it in turns to be in the middle LOL...
Own up Replete i bet you took one and went to watch Lawnmower man in the cinema???

Thought I would give you an update on the work I have been doing for the show at RedHouse, on Tuesday October 26th, 7pm-9pm. www.redhouseoriginals.com/ REDHOUSE ORIGINALS 15 Cheltenham Mount, Harrogate, HG1 1DW info@redhouseoriginals.com Tel: +44 (0) 1423 884400
Really pleased how they have come out, and how the style is developing. Experimented more and took a few more risks on the last two.
Feedback and your thoughts always welcome Cheers

NICE to Meet yaโฆ NICE, by Guy Denning on Oct 27, 2010 10:15:47 GMT 1, Hi Rourke. Application of time and effort - that's what's so often missing in the art world today. So few people really understand how much work and time goes into a piece that they just visually consume and then consign to the back of their brains... and then they've got the gall to haggle over the price! Well done - I prefer the straight portraits. not only are they well crafted but they're good likenesses too. Well done and keep it up - you're really developing your own signature visual language.

Thankyou Guy, very much appreciated. and totally agree with what your saying. My way of thinking at the moment, is that More is More (and Less is More is out of the Window) I would just like to say a Massive thankyou to you, your words of encouragment and help over the years, as really kept me going, when I have often felt like jacking it in. Your top Bloke. Am really happy and confident in my work lately, I feel everything is coming together, combining all my styles into one. My next project I am planing to take it to the next stage, and do a biggey. on 8ft x 4ft makeshift wall panel. And is going to be a Hockney Portrait/Montage.
Thanks Again
