Sketchbox.
Finished my peice for the Au Secours event in aid of the Haiti charity.
'Sketchbox' - A box for putting sketches in. Most of this is recycled material. The wooden box was rescued from an old graphics card display. I painted it black and wood glued textured paper over it so the black shows through. Brough out the sketch with Japanese brush pens and then it's all sealed in a light varnish.
And you can't have a box without having something inside it, so there's two new sketch pieces to go inside.
"Red Lorri" and "Yellow Lorri". Created on recycled card. I love old packing boxes and parcels. I like the challenge of remixing the design already on the box, fitting an image around them, or using it as texture.The backs are signed and then sealed in red and yellow packing tape. Yellow Lorri's blue dots are still drying and smells of Hycote Double acrylic, 'Peugeot Blue Spatial', my favourite outlining colour.
I've also included my catalogue from my 'Gaijin No Bijinga' show at the Galería Nuble and 3 postcards. Also I've also included the piece of paper I used when gluing the paper to the box. The pencils transfered over to the wet paper. Looks kind of ghostly. I love accidents like that.
I hope this finds a nice home, I love boxes.
I have a lot of recycled card and boxes ready for my next sets I will be working on.
So this box is officially 'Sketchbox #001'

Run out of shelves
Need some serious rearranging to fit some new toys on here.. or a hell of a lot more shelves.
Aparently blogger is no longer supporting FTP uploads soon so I'm hoping I haven't broken my blog history, or have to convert all the old files over. We'll see.
