Change of Pace

Here are a few of my paintings, mainly done between 2004 and 2006.
I used to paint a lot, had a few shows, owned a gallery etc but not so much lately. Am currently working on a new set for a specific project. More details soon. The new batch are different to the ones on the page linked.
The one above is a 5 feet X 5 feet acrylic on canvas (sold)

Graffity by Banksy – anonymous UK artist
Confession time, I had heard the name Banks, knew it had something to do with the UK and graffiti and not much more before I watched this video (h/t to the person on Twitter who linked it.) Watch out for the kissing policemen and stenciled rats. This artist not only paints on walls that he legally shouldn’t but also does album covers, gallery shows and well, just about everything.
I do think that the anonymity thing is a bit of a gimmick but hey, if it works why not.
The initial presenter disappears after a couple of minutes and the piece proper begins. Don’t be put off, it really is worth the time.
A wonderful short film
Watch this! – It goes in a very unexpected direction. If you are a visual artist this will amaze, if you are sharing space with a visual artist this will explain much.
