Rourke - NEW PAINT - Blab!, by Rourke on May 29, 2010 17:12:34 GMT 1, The Original Still in Progress, but here it is so far. Going to call it 'Once upon a time, up North' for now.
On Hardboard, Pen, Pencil, Collage, Charcoal, Spraypaint will be using more mediums before its finished. Trying to combine all work I have been doing over the last few years into this style. I feel everything as been a build up to this style.
Let us know if you like Cheers

Rourke - NEW PAINT - Blab!, by Rourke on May 29, 2010 19:27:38 GMT 1, Are all these works digital? I can never tell.
Its got a bit of everything in it. Areas of Newspaper and bits of Digital Giclee Collage individually spray tinted to match normal newsprint. So they don't stand out too much. Its a bit fiddly and time consuming but I think the end result looks well. I have gone full circle, as when I was 17 and started work for my Bro. Before the days of a Mac. I was a paste-up Artist, cutting and sticking little bits of lettering down, producing artwork for print. It was a bugger if they were a spelling mistake though. My new style reminds me of that.
Then freehand drawing in pencil, pen and charcoal in other areas.
Then I plan to do some areas with stencil spraypaint, Acrylic paint. and maybe some Heavy body Acrylic applied with palette knife.
The I am going do something else I havent done for a long while. I use to have a Gold foiling business, so I plan to Gold block text & logos to certain areas of the peice.
I want to tie in everything I have done, in one style.
Cheers again for your post

Rourke - NEW PAINT - Blab!, by Rourke on May 30, 2010 11:47:14 GMT 1, Did more pencil work onit last night and this morning, and will doing more over the holiday. The beauty of these is that I can do them at home on my knee (I ;)feel like a kid again, on the dining room table), which ideal for my predicament at the moment, time wise. The main fairy is really standing out now. will post some more pictures as I do more.

Rourke - NEW PAINT - Blab!, by smellmyfinger on Jun 19, 2010 17:58:55 GMT 1, Rourke - I appreciate that these are put together with pen, pencil, charcoal et al but what I would like to see is some colour. Even the grittiest of urban landscapes has some colour in it - check Lowry 4 to 5 in each painting at least. One other thing (please bear in mind that you have oodles more talent than I can only dream of having) is that I am not a fan of comic type Viz imagery. There I have said it now. Straight talking, no gags, in yer face stuff - Yankee Doodle Dandy was in the right direction and one of my favourites. SMF

Rourke - NEW PAINT - Blab!, by mikeT on Jun 20, 2010 7:04:16 GMT 1, Hey Rourke, like the cats. but love the fairy much more. The composition is sweet, though to me, the text's stealing the thunder a lil, and are too overtly prominent, if that helps. But it's a work in progress, so... I'm working on something half as complicated as yours, and I'm getting serious backaches and all. But you're right bout one thing. The knees-on-the-concrete kid feeling. That keeps us going, doesn't it. Can't wait to see the finished article... And erm...what kind of price would you place on it?

Thanks very much for your opinions, really appreciate it. Over the next few months I plan to work on alot of images, some that I have rote down in my little book and never got round to doing, and also some totally new stuff. I want to try and get across in some of the stuff, more of Me, either from my past or stuff which have influenced me in my life. Some of the cartooney images you see are from my past. They won't be all cartoons, but I will be throwing them in from time to time. I wanted to get a certain look to these ones, I want to make them look like they have been around for years, or just been dug up. The main subject will have a bit of more colour in them. I plan to do some just has landscapes, and I have already started work on Loweryesque peice. They will be some serious stuff aswell.
Thanks again for your thoughts
