I have begun work on a new series.
The idea for this has been running around my brain for a while but I just couldn't find a starting point.
Anyways this is the first sketch to see if it works and next is off to the screen print stage.

[Leo Boyd]

Evening all
I made some new pieces before the world heated up and made working in the studio nigh on impossible.
I am working on a new series and have managed to upload a couple of new paintings to the site.
This here is a screenprint/painting version of one of the new canvases.
I hope everyone is surviving the heat.

I have started uploading to a street art archive on my website.
It is quite a nice thing to see all the bits and bobs made over the years all together on one page and I will keep uploading stuff as a find it on various hard drives.
Cheers me dears

Afternoon
We are having an arts market in our studios this weekend... which is probably only of interest to people living around Belfast.
I have been working on a collaboration with a sign painter to make some new screen prints based upon old sho-cards.
I will put some of these up later but yeah we are going to trial them at the market this weekend.
Here is the link for the market www.facebook.com/events/507093130386509

and a couple of pictures of some new things I have made recently

Here are some of the show cards that we have been working on

Earlier this year I was commissioned to make a short film about being an artist during the pandemic.
I am not sure the film makes much sense but I think that was the point.
The film has now been released online but is also going to be part of a real world exhibition opening this Thursday evening in Belfast!
Wahoo!
Link to the film here www.dasfiveforfive.com/leo-boyd

Evening all
A couple of weeks back I flew out to the tiny island of Guernsey to work on this pretty fantastic project.
Basically Art for Guernsey are an art charity that recently got a permanent building that they are going to turn into a gallery and art center.
Me and 4 other artists were invited out to paint/paste up the walls and exhibit work for their first exhibition.
Instagram link to art for Guernsey is here www.instagram.com/artforguernsey/

Morning peoples
I have been feeling pretty paralyzed by this war and this morning I realised that I have 50 odd of this misprinted news paper I made a while back... so am selling them at a fiver a go and all the money will go to a charity that deals with refugees displaced by war.
Here is a link and a few pictures.
I hope everyone is keeping well out there.
Cheers

I figured out how to screen print with gold size and then gild using gold leaf onto said screen printed size.
This one is a bit rough and that is how I wanted it to be... but at some point I am going to try do something a bit more precise.
Cheers me dears

Love the colours and the contrast of gold, coat with the horizontal lines. Have a instant interpretation of the image. Lovely

The piece is made using an old silk screen as a base that is then printed and gilded over the top.
It is quite a long involved process but I am pretty happy with the outcome. 

[Leo Boyd]

Morning.
Here is one that I was working on getting finished yesterday.
I think it is nearly done but I am going to have to stare at it for a while to make sure.
