Spinning....

Well this is just a strange recording of me spinning a camera. I think it represents a record spinning, or maybe it doesn't. You guys decided. Although I have a feeling this might be kinda stupid now. Watch the colours...

Recordsssss

Hi, its saturday night and I am home from work decided to put some stuff up here. These are my little records that I made. I made them out of a couple of different materials. As you can probably tell I like doing that......:D So anyway here they are I also wrote some bands etc on them you know music I like or whatever poped into my head at the time. Speak later spuds.....

P.s Everybody listen to Kasabian!! http://youtu.be/mM5YDI7ttME
Thats right its Noel Fielding :)

So this was made from card. I mixed black paint with sugar to make a rough suface on the disk

This one was made from paper, then painted black. I then covered the outside with clear plastic

This is just card painted black

This one is made from white folded material painted black and covered in clear plasyic

This one is made from card, then covered in maskind tape.
With a dry brush I then quickly painted on black and cover in plastic

These are all of them together

These are just some giant music notes I made from card coloured with markers

My Boat

This is a first attempt at doing something like this so its not the best, but if you have time take a look. Nothing to do with the project (shame on me) but something that I wanted to try out. Spuds :)

Camera

 Ok so I finally got a camera and took some pictures of things that I have been making for the last while. These are just some different types of gramophones made in different materials. Also some wire gramophone horns.....

This is a Gramophone I made from cardboard and sheet music

This is a Gramophone I made from plastic and tape

This is the body of a Gramophone made from coragated cardboard

This is a very small model of a Gramophone made from cereal box cardboard

I really enjoyed making this one, I think it looks nice even though it may be very chliched

These are all Gramophone horns made from wire

They look a bit like flowers but I quite like them

These were each made in different sizes

....

I haven't been here in awhile which is a shame, still haven't fixed my camera another shame. But I did find this which is lovely, maybe you'll take the time to look through.. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1n3Atd/www.nettserier.no/_striper/jellyvampire-1304892000.jpg

Records in the sky

Here's something photo shop pic's which I was messing around with today. Its a funny idea I think, would love to work on them more and obviously have them look more realistic. But for a very quick first attempt they get the point across....I hope. Can I just say spell check is awesome! This may actually be a like offensive, I mean no offence though....spuds

for-i-day

All I have been doing today is making a wire frame of a gramophone horn. At this moment in time I am however watching American x-factor as I have just gotten back from work. Tomorrow I'm going to research artists and do more of the wire frame. So not a very eventfully day I guess hopefully it will pick up. In the mean time here are a couple of pictures of a small gramophone I made from cardboard. Enjoy spuds.

P.S Look there's my fridge :P

Revelate

Well today I was thinking about what I can do next. So I was thinking that I could use photo shop to superimpose pictures of records onto buildings or landmarks around the world. I want to take the record out of its normal environment and see how things turn out. Also I want to take these famous buildings and make a record player out of them, for instance the pentagon could be the base of the player and something like the Seattle space needle could be the needle for the record player. I want to do this all on photo shop. I think it would be interesting to see exactly how things could turn out with it. Also for some reason I get the image of records raining down from the sky when I think about doing this. So long spuds.......

you make time

OK so the day went something like this I ate, then I ate, then....I ate some more then I went to CCS where the projector gave up and so as a result we all left early. I am however still working on my record with the silhouette dancers inside, hopefully I will complete that tomorrow. Some other concerns the weather is awful.....and I still haven't gotten a camera hummmm It will all be ok. In the mean time check this guy out, wonderfully entertaining and a dab hand at the old music making side of things ;) http://realismsmusic.blogspot.com spick and span spuds.....

wooo

Right slow day today have a super pain in my head but still getting some work done. Have been painting some gramoflowers (gramophone made into flowers) I like this idea just not sure where to go with it from here. Also started making a little record with a movable mid-section, more on that to come...My plan to spin around has been put on hold as my camera is broken and I can't find one that works..but I think I will borrow one from a friend this evening. So hopefully it'll all be up and running soon. Right I think that's it for now. speak soon spuds

Today......

Today I am making gramophones into flowers.......I will also be spinning around on a children's round about, hope to have footage of that up sometime this week. In other news I have decided to draw some inspiration from the Pink Floyd flowers from the movie the wall because I think they look cool and well they move..... http://youtu.be/a86QgZVgbyQ Also, trying to decided how I will make a giant record......
Love always your royal spudness.....

Hello World

Welcome to my blog! I'll be posting some of my art pieces, and my thoughts on other pieces as well as general ranting in the coming weeks and months (and years). I hope you find it engaging, and enjoyable! In the meantime here is a piece of art I love by the brilliant Van Gogh!
