Another outing for my strutting friends, in another beautiful Vejer town house…lucky chaps.
Here are my latest screen printed t-shirts, using three of my designs…all printed by hand at home…
If you’d like one for yourself just give me a t-shirt and I’ll print it for you!
This is the screen for the cockerel design…..
…the cockerel t-shirts
the El Palmar t-shirts….
and the feather t-shirts.
This collage is made from objects found on the beach where I live along with scraps of paper, leather and ribbon.
It is on show (and for sale) at La Casa del Arco until September 10th 2013
…or ‘Yellow Roses for Adrián’
This painting was commissioned as a gift for the flamenco dancer Adrián Brenes (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Adri%C3%A1n-Brenes/505485442831689?fref=ts)
It’s a pen and watercolour piece with collaged elements (also pen and watercolour on paper) which overlap the mount.
When I saw Adrián dance, as well as being struck by the passion and power of his performance, I was fascinated by his footwear (he’s a very dapper chap). So I chose the boots to represent Adrián, the yellow roses signify friendship, they are set on a window sill which is draped by curtains, suggesting a stage and you can see Adrián’s home town of Conil de la Frontera in the background. The text ‘tiriti tran tran tran….’ is a flamenco refrain.
For this version of the ‘design classic’ gas bottle (bombona in Spanish) I put a wash of acrylic paint over the charcoal drawing and then applied a crackle glaze and stains.
These logos were designed to represent the seaside village of El Palmar in Cadiz, Spain
I plan to print postcards with the coloured version and screen print t-shirts with the white on black version
Here’s a new version of the portrait of Yuki the dog; first I used collage to fill an outline and then I redrew the collage
