Thanks for the compliments guys, much appreicated and it really inspires me to carry on creating my work. I have just had the most productive couple of weeks, so you may see some new work very soon

Haha no I'm afraid no market trading for me plurker Buuut it seems like I could deal in little kittens ;D the last of the 'D4' canvases was sent out today to a great guy on here.

The good news tho is that I hav also just agreed to do an additional piece for someone elses daughter who really liked him... sooo I have decided if there's anyone else out there with a junior stencil lover I will do an additional two more... the first two people to send a PM I will send them one for free, but then that's it

So if anyones son or daughter has seen the little canvas and liked it send me a PM and I'll do one on card or wood and dispatch as soon as I can. No worries if there's no one else, just thought I'd make the offer.

;D

Great thread..!! Havin dealt with AP on numerous occasions and met up a few times I have to say you are a true gent and worthy of all the praise. Thanks for my D4..! Beer soon?

[Agent Provocateur]

Cool, that's sorted, I have PM'd the two people that requested one and should dispatch soon Again, thanks for all the support, I'm going to slowly lower my head below the parapet now . All the best.

Long time no post, but never fear, beavering has been my middle name

I've been getting into the Christmas spirit (literally!) and thought I'd post one of the images I've been working on. It's not my usual style but thought it would be good to experiment as it's the end of the year. Let me know what you think!

There are various other bits and pieces I am putting the finishing touches too... and maybe some of you lucky people will be getting a special AP festive parcel through the post! If I can finish everything in time ;D



AP

ps ... I will be experimenting with some hand finished colours too.

[ricobenfico]

Hey AP, or should we call you Beaver

I like this, nice twist on Xmas from the origins bringing right up to date into the society we now live in.

Would really like to see your other work. Especially since your taking a new direction...

[Deleted]

i like this good stuff you always have produced good work tho

[neale]

nice work, I suddenly feel all festive!

[Agent Provocateur]

Thanks for the compliments ... I'll post more pics when I have a few hand finished versions to show. Plus I'll post pics of my other special festive work very soon ;D keep 'em peeled...

[Deleted]

Its got a great simple old school paste up feel to it and a strong clear message. Love it, nice and crisp

Will be interested to see what a little hand finish will bring to it. yo ho ho

[Coach]

interesting departure from what I have seen in the past ap, mate.
Really like it though. What hand finishing are you thinking of? A little colour?
I do like art that makes me chuckle, and this does!

[Danny O'Connor]

Nice strong striking image AP. Plus you're making us feel all christmasy at the same time, What a guy!!!!!!

[Agent Provocateur]

Haha cheers... it's a bit more 'Ba humbug' than 'Happy Christmas'

As for the hand finishing, I am working on various colour washes, want to take away a bit of the gloom, make it brighter and highlight a couple of areas.

Will post soon.

[GVD]

ha sick i like this style man!

[Agent Provocateur]

Here's a little bit of paper that I'll be sending out very shortly. It's called 'Festive Flats of Parliament'... have a look and let me know what you think









AP

[Michael Jacob]

Stuff is look really good AP. Keep up the good work! I really like the first piece (Holiday inn).

[Monky]

i'm liking your 'festive flats of parliament' one. Is it going to be a paper edition

[Agent Provocateur]

Cheers monkyartyprints... it's actually my 2008 limited edition Christmas card

The paper is a super heavy 300gsm Conq. Stone Marque Diamond White

Poncey or wot

[Dellboyy]

Is the Parliament printed or stenciled? Pretty impressive if stenciled! (still looks pretty good of course even if not! :-))

[Agent Provocateur]

Cheers dellboy, 'fraid this one isn't a stencil as it's only A5 (210 x 148 mm!)

Buuut rest assured I have been hacking away at a bit of A3 card to stencil this beast onto canvas... the only problem is I think this size is still too small for all the detail!! Fiddly to say the least

I'll test the A3 version, see how it looks, but definitely go for a much larger stencil for the final version.

Loving your work as always AP, like the new direction with the holiday inn, the only problem now is that you've made my Christmas card look really S**t ;D

[Dellboyy]

Yeah, that's why i was thinking it would be pretty damn impressive... a lot of detail in there! Look forward to seeing the bigger version!

[schlomo]

Like it alot AP matey, all good. Like Dell i look forward to seeing the bigger version...

[Agent Provocateur]

Cheers guys... have sorted out all the Christmas cards so they should be delivered by the festive AP packaging elves very soon! Have also been hand colouring some of the 'No room at the holiday inn' pieces and will post pics soon. I am still cutting out the A3 'Flats of Parliament'... but will post pics as and when.

AP

[deckstar]

AP what an amazing idea!! tis the season to be jolly I think i will do the same, look out Christmas here i come

[Coach]

AP, these new pieces are looking great. Love the festive flats - showed it to my boys, who thought it hilarious. Looking forward to seeing the colour on No room.

[Agent Provocateur]

As it's Monday morning I thought I'd keep this little festive thread ticking over... I am in the process of cutting out the stencils for a small (test!) version of 'Flats of Parliament' and have also just finished a special one-off 'Royal flush' canvas for a really good mate who's a fellow forum member.

More to follow!

[jusdeep]

Looking good AP, Can't wait to see both in the flesh. You don't do things by half measures. Still some way to go on the flats.

[Agent Provocateur]

Morning all... just took a few photos of the inaugural 'Biggles Annual' '08. It's been a nightmare getting them ready, was going to print it properly but nothing came within budget! So what I have been doing is printing it out on my own colour printer, folding and stapling as I go along Yeah I know, not exactly professional, but I think it's a nice little memento for the quality people that have supported me this year

It's a 24 page booklet with all the Biggles pieces I've completed this year... it also has the story to date explaining the trials and tribulations of the intrepid flyer!

Cover


First spread


The edition will be 21, all signed, dated and numbered


... there may even be something special on the centre spread


Keep the comments coming... I'll be back soon ;D

[Dellboyy]

Cool idea, like it... looks well designed too!

[leeoman]

looking really good AP, would love to know more about the 'Flats of Parliament' would be great to see that on a canvas, and the the one off royal flush........Nice he will be one happy chappy,
