Scale....

I realised that the simple line drawings I was doing were in some ways more interesting than the more complicated and intricate pieces but I wanted to get more physical with the process. So I took it to the wall...

A simple piece of work made using just black and white paint and triangles of card. I enjoyed doing this much more than the smaller, more controlled pieces and was pretty happy with the result.
But then to add some colour?

 Here I attempted to add some colour along with an added bit of interest by collaging on top of a similar painting to the one above. It worked out pretty well I think.

Print....

At the moment I've returned to my initial images of the everyday urban environment. I noticed that a lot of my images were of construction sites and men at work. There's a lot of colour involved in these scenes so maybe that's why?
I worked on a woodblock print from an image I had taken of 2 men unloading a van.

 I then printed onto acetate, thinking that I may be able to overlay it on some sort of colour base? I made an attempt to collage underneath but the effect wasn't so great, I may aswell have just coloured it in with markers... I'll try something else maybe.

Change it up....

So I've pretty much decided to leave the seven deadly sins idea behind. I may come back to it again but for now it just isn't going in the direction I want it to.
But before I do, just one last image....

An image of my lusty figure created by building up 4 seperate layers of blue acetate. It worked pretty well as a 'stained glass' representation.

Eeeek....

I may abandon the seven deadly sins concept altogether?
