Film Quiz Art for Chichester Cinema

Crikey! I've just realised that this appears to be my first blogpost for 2010. Well thank goodness that, after the debacle that was 2009, it is going to be a positive one. I've had some good news this week which has been great. The great news is that my artwork will once more be becoming a fixture of Chichester's fantastic cinema at the New Park. I originally exhibited my works there back in 2006 and, at the time, had a fantastic response from the cinema and its patrons. I'm now returning with a series of new illustrations that will be showcased at an event organised by the Cinema. The event in question is a film quiz that will be held at the Upper Brasserie at the Minerva Theatre (opposite Chichester Festival Theatre) in Chichester, West Sussex on March 27th. Chichester Cinema hopes that this film quiz will help them to raise funds for new digital equipment. The quiz will feature tables of 6 named after favourite film stars / directors and, as you've possibly already guessed, I am providing illustrations of the relevant film people. My illustrations will be for sale at this event and will also be available at the cinema shortly. There will also be a raffle at this event which will include prizes of Festival Theatre tickets, Dinner Outings, Cinema Tickets, Champagne etc. This sounds like it will be a great evening and I am very excited about taking part. The illustrations I am producing for this event are as follows...

Woody Allen

Marlon Brando

Orson Welles
Clint Eastwood 

Morgan Freeman

Hugh Grant

Werner Herzog

Peter Jackson

Steve McQueen
Paul Newman

River Phoenix

Anthony Quinn

Robert Redford

New Lucinda Rosa art...

Lucinda Rosa are a music project
that I have become involved with.
They are heavily influenced
by the likes of..

Joy Division,

The Pixies,

The Cure,

Depeche Mode,

early U2

and

The Smashing Pumpkins

among others.

They are friends of mine and I will
be doing a lot of artwork for them
and a bit of marketing as well as helping
them build a website presence.
They were formerly known as
Black Mountain College
and played quite
extensively around the
south of England including
London and Brighton.



They were also,
as Black Mountain College,
championed by
Steve Lamacq of Radio 6 music
for a while.
Anyways I'm currently
putting together some bits
of artwork
for their Myspace site.

(music coming soon)

Here is the latest piece of art...

Another day, another zombie....

I've been doing a few more toons recently.

Slightly different style this time.

Everytime I do a toon

I feel a need to make it as dark and as sinister

as I possibly can.

Don't know why I guess

it just makes the artwork more interesting for me.

I quite like the idea

of my art being about more than

just straight pictures of people.

This is why there is always a slight slant on my toons.

Anyhoo I sat around wondering

what to do next then it finally came to me...

...Celebrity Zombies!!

If Deadset could do it to Davina why couldn't I?

Here are the results so far.

Gary Numan and Ade Fenton are first

to get the Zombie treatment of course.

Also,
just for kicks,
my mate Ed Fielding

gets a bit of Zombification!!

Watch out, the next one could be you!
