Abandoned buildings and forgotten spaces
| July 21, 2010 | Posted by Elizabeth under In-House |
I have a soft spot for abandoned buildings and forgotten spaces. There is just something alluring and quite stunning to me about a forgotten place/space. The visuals surrounding decay fascinate me, and there is just something about that type of aesthetic that makes me feel all tingly inside. Urban exploration (urbex or UE or infiltration) is an invaluable source of catalogued and exploring abandoned places, often forgotten and left to decay. There are…
Logic & Leadership part 1 – Queen Anne
| October 30, 2009 | Posted by Steve under In-House |
I have been working on six images for The Event, a contemporary arts festival taking place next week. I love history. I can’t help it. So many events from history seem almost unbelievable, the story of the royals is pure soap opera, full of betrayal, beheading, power struggle and the plain strange. The six images…
Logic & Leadership (sneak preview)
| October 18, 2009 | Posted by Steve under In-House |
For reasons undisclosed, I am working toward producing a set of six digital portraits of past Kings and Queens of England, entitled Logic And Leadership. The above is an image I have been working on of Queen Anne, taken from an original portrait by William Wissing.
Currently it is made entirely in Inkscape, a free vector illustration program which is a piece of cake to learn, and completely free to boot, just remember to save constantly though as it has a nasty habit of crashing without saving. The portrait will also have a bit of photo-shopping thrown in for good measure before it is exported.
Six portraits in this style will be shown at The Event.

Treasure Seekers VIII There is a scene in the martial arts film, ‘Hero’, when, in order to learn how to defeat his enemy, the hero (Jet Li), must watch him write. Only in this way can he deduce the subtleties of his foe’s style and thus devise a strategy to defeat him. The work of…
A Portrait of Birmingham
| March 15, 2009 | Posted by Steve under In-House |
A Portrait of Birmingham is a tall order by anyone’s standards, so my hopes for this event were less on the lines of an insightful look at what makes the modern brummie tick, and more on the lines of music, poetry, pictures and a beer please (yes, I had read the flyer), and I have…
