A-R-T - Patrick Caulfield

After studying Patrick Caulfield for about three hours or so, I decided to make myself purple in honour of his work, and because well I needed to do SOME kind of study for my artist research, it may not look like much, but colouring on paint froma photograph can be a tedious, long, трудный challenge!

Stop the fireworks now, the holiday is over I don't need to hear it for a third night in a row!!

Have a break have a kitkat

Woo-hoo mocks starts tomorrow for the next ten days, trying not to panic as I've done all I can to prepare myself, thus I try not to go ape-shit! Having a little break from Russian revision, the reading papers are очень-очень трудно! And if you know what that means without using translate then you are очень-очень умный! Going to pop some soup on and make myself a hot mug'a tea and settle don to do some art for a couple of hours, then some history, then back to Russian! I know, heavy day, but hey, what can ya dooo eh? Maybe I shall treat myself to some new doccs that my eye has been lingering over for a while! We shall see!

Emily Davison, bless you for doing that for us women!

Kenichi Yokono

Keepin' it fresh an original Yokono's artwork is made through the traditional Japanese woodblock method, giving it a lushtrous comic book effect, this theme continueing throughout many of his pieces!  His work is based around aspects of Japanese pop culture merged all in one, shiz like managa, horror and movies.  With this as inspiration he is able to create these terribly creepy images of peril and cruelty which are covered by sugary, innocent cartoon characters (obviously not ALL lookin' innocent!) with this he is able to retain a sense of irony within his artwork! Prints of Yokono's work are hard to come by at times even though his woodblocks are still in function.  In alot of his pieces innocent women are seen preyed on by panda's, eerie woodland or strange men in business suits. Not only are all these pieces amazingly detailed and uniquely made, but he prints it all on hefty chunks of wood! Incredible right?! Mock art can be so fun!
