David Lynch for lunch



First and formost, is this genius director. Although I have only seen a handful of his films it is known by default that Lynch has over the last 40 years established himself in both the film and art world as a connoisseur, a god of surreal, ambiguous beauty.
He questions the thresholds of what may be seen as athetically pleasing and is fearless in his choice of subject matter.
One of many ambitions of this year is watch far more of his film, therefore fulfilling a further desire to own more films. His work is my idea of what beauty is and should be. Sometimes is makes sense but most of the time it shouldn't and that's what i aim to project in my own work.
What i find most admirable is that although best known for his involvement in the film industry he does also tamper in other trades, art photography, music, and acting and doing justice to them all.

I have once again over romanticised so to put it shortly, this man is a dude.  Here are just a few of my favourite two dimensional pieces.


















































































From Top to Bottom:
"Untitled Sketches" x 3
"Distorted Nudes" x 4

Clear your mind

Summertime :
After much deliberation and with the recent events that have passed i felt it was time to start a fresh.
Besides the fact that much of this summer has been more pain than pleasure I found a new clarity in both my personal life and more relevantly, my work.

A new Brief, cultivated by my own accounts, questioning the boundaries of reality, science, space and time. In order to develop my work I want to branch out and push towards areas where i feel Fine Art can work in conjunction with Graphic Design and exist not only as a means of self indulgence but benefit others with messages of truth and hope.

This year  wanted to be inspired by anything and everything. The things i love and hate. Culture, religion, philosophy, society, family, film, friends, music, literature, nature the list could go on for eternity.

As much as the brief grows and makes sense in my own mind, for now i'm going to wait a few more days to post it, until i can find a means of fully articulating my aspirations and philosophies to a more concise degree.

But it is most importantly, exciting and really i can't say i've felt the same optimism about my work before. Second year is such a time of opportunity and there's so many areas of life in and beyond art that i want to seize. Some areas of my life won't change, feelings and thoughts, they'll just have  to learn to become dorment. But a million things have and are changing.

New blog.
New life.

Here is some New Art to start
