So it's easier for me to update this new topic with my work that I create daily and is worthy of showing!

Here's my speed paint entitled 'Steam' from yesterday, as always it's freehand, no tracing, copying or photo manipulation, essentially a life drawing, a digital spontaneous reaction to a subject,

Here's an update of new work on walls and canvas

A new large painting, ' Neon CIty' for my next solo show, which is a joint solo show with Dale Grimshaw in Bristol June 20th 2014, I'll also be painting my largest light scape street piece to date, on the side of a 3 story building in Bristol!

Something different from me today. I often paint works, digitally and on canvas alongside other series of paintings and concepts that I work on as commissions or for shows. One idea and concept that I have been working on is the apocalypse / end of the world idea. The idea of fire and brimstone, cracked, jagged earth, torn and rising up. Lava and molten rock erupting, spitting fury into the air, steam hissing and heat blasting outwards. I wanted to capture this emotion and idea in a very abstract, organic and gestural way, so have been woking on a series of enormous canvases. This one, is 60 x 48 inches, and entitled 'Fracture'. There's something very beautiful about the way the paint creates arcs and strings, like a molten lava explosion, relatively simple, it creates a sense of movement and heat, and captures the ideas I am striving to illustrate in these works. Loose application of the paint combined with large, controlled brush work, creates this painting.

'Ghost ships' - London Dark - So as a way of relaxing and stepping away from my intense studio time for my joint solo show, I have illustrated another scene from my London Dark series of illustrations. Here we see the magician, punting across the dead docks, ghost ship hulks looking over him, gentle lapping of waves on the dead waters..a sombre moon illuminates the great wooden hulks, with pale, cold light.

Here's my latest wall, 'Beams' based on one of my new works on show at UPFEST Gallery next week in my joint solo show with Dale Grimshaw! I decided it was a good idea to park my car facing the wall and took a pic from the drivers seat, creating a mix of art and reality, sitting in the East London traffic Jam, after painting in town.... I hope you like it! Feel free to share and also feel free to come along to Bristol next Friday to the opening night of our show! I'll also be in Bristol TUesday through to Friday painting a 3 story building in the build up to the opening night!

'Gods Of The Olde World' - London Dark
This weekends illustration!

So I am painting live in the woods are of Latitude Festival again this year, my 4th year, and I am curating the art in the woods this year, and have Dale Grimshaw and Gemma Compton alongside me! We'll all be painting natural media, no spray paint, so paint and brush, and covering a variety of imagery over the duration of the festival, so it should be good fun! We'll each be completing an 8ft x 8ft piece everyday for the three days, so a total of 9 pieces of art, live in the woods!

I'll also have some freebies to give away to people who come up and say hello!

Some DANK tag tee shirts, in kids sizes,

and each day I'll be giving away one hand painted, original, painted umbrella, not sure what time i'll give it away, so it's a good idea to come along and watch us all paint, and it maybe you who get's one.

[Trevorm]

You carry on there Dan, great stuff

[settingson]

Those umbrellas look most impressive!

Only problem I have is that I tend to leave them in shops etc and I'd be gutted if I did it with one of them!

Latitude Festival 2014 - 'Art In The Woods' - So we have all just returned from our epic painting live art in the woods area at Latitude Festival, my fourth year at this amazing festival in Suffolk, and my 1st year curating the live art! Artists this year were Dale Grimshaw, Gemma Compton, Seth Wells and myself, all creating 3, 8ft x 8ft pieces on recycled wood panels! A truly amazing experience, painting in beautiful woods in the sunhine, with a really positive crowd everyday watching us and chatting about our work. Big thanks to all involved in making this happen once again, and massive thanks to Dale, Gemma and Seth for their stunning work!

So here's my latest large wall, this being my 7th wall in 10 days! Painted at Southbank, as part of their Urban Arts Weekend, with Global Street Art, it's a development of my new 'Neon City' canvas painting recently debuted at my joint solo show in Bristol, Upfest Gallery. Two days painting this large piece, and now I am exhausted! I hope you like it, should remain in place for 12 months.

Love the Michael Jackson look with the white glove, though the prioritisation demonstrated here leaves me a little baffled.

In the photo at least, it seems like you're more concerned about protecting your hands from the spraypaint than your lungs.

I'm chiding of course, but the comment is serious nonetheless. This kind of thing reminds me of certain construction workers you sometimes see on the street — the ones who choose to use jackhammers without ear plugs or hearing protectors.

'The Time Keeper' - My latest illustration in my long line of 'London Dark' illustrations. The Magician's time pieces need constant alignment in order for him to safely move through the time gates, the Time Keeper, a nomadic travelling watchman slowly travels the dead cities repairing time pieces where needed....

'Pursuit'

[Dan Kitchener]

Here's my latest and by far, largest wall to date. It was over 70ft high, at the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham as part of the City Of COlours festival of street art! I spent two days painting this using a scissor lift to reach those very high heights, the idea of the piece was to represent the idea of a city of colours, futuristic Tokyo style! I was very pleased with the finished piece, photo's don't do the scale justice!

[Dr Plip]

Amazing work Dan.
