General Blackblood Mask

General Blackblood Mask. Ive blacked out the left eye with green plastic for the missing eye. Could do with making the eye section fit better to my face to make it more comfortable when the plastic visor is in place, and need a way to light up the right eye. I also need to adjust the shape to make look less wide, maybe a hardner or varnish to help it keep its shape.
And you would need to change the neck piece to foam if it was for a full costume.
And boy is is hot in there. No room for a fan like the Stormtrooper helmet.

"I was introduced to the Baroque the Streets project by Remi. He pointed out the Rembrandt 'Girl at a window' at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. It was perfect for me with my history of painting characters and portraits. I really like the simple composition and colour palette. I wanted to give the girl an update and have her be a graffiti artist looking out of the window onto a freshly painted wall. The white dress would become a hoodie. I love hoodies and with the negative press they get lately it was important for me to have her wear it. I hope it works as a subtle positive reinforcement rather than it be seen as a simple stereotype. The design on the cap is the logo of our art collective the Agents Of Change.
It was a perfect opportunity to do a collaboration too, Remi Rough's work would be the painting that the girl was looking out onto. It fitted perfectly with the geometry of the 'Triumph Of David' sketch. The dark shadow on the wall that splits the Rembrandt in two down the centre, could be placed onto right of the Triumph which is divided by the three columns. It was a great chance to work on a two piece remix." - System

Converse Wall Of Clash

Converse Wall of Clash by Myself and Remi Rough.
A clash of styles, where my illustration style clashes with Roughs abstract graffiti style. Bringing colour to the city's grey surroundings.

About 900sq foot of wall on the Powerhouse of the Old Vinyl Factory. The wall was huge. The weather was bad but we got it done in time with a little help from fellow Agent Of Change member Steve More. Took about 10 days and was revealed at the Sneakersclash for Converse new Chuck Taylor All-Star launch.

The design is a layout of diamond and circle record sleeve shapes. The characters are all 1950's style. This place started life as a gramophone factory that went on to make their own gramophone records. During the war it became a factory making munitions. They would eventually become EMI records. The main girl is using a gramophone megaphone, calling out the colour on to the grey world.

System customised Nike shoes

 

System customised Nike Cortez sneakers and box

I started with Nike Cortez Classic (size 10 so too big for me unfortunatly)

 

Used multiple paint layers scratched off to look aged. The idea with the layers is that if the shoes were worn, the paint would peel and crack off and look 'aged' faster. 

Added real antique calligraphy book pages to the main body and drew characters on the heels. Japanese print style clouds for the insides of the shoe in place of the Nike swoops.

Made a shoe box with the same layered technique to match the colour scheme. As I had made a stencil for the front of the box I added the test print signed for the inside of the lid. Didnt want it blank when you opened the box. The System stencil on the sides of the box are supposed to be like the traditional Calligraphers 'hanko' stamps.

 

ABC Warrior General Blackblood

Almost done. Ive been busy making some custom sneakers this week but Ive decided I DO need the snake badge on the peak cap to match the cover.
