why I haven't slept in a few days

SO. 
I was tasked with designing some packaging.
given very vague instructions of a gesticulation as to size and vague explanation of what was to be on the packaging, this is what I came up with.




'grab bag'
to hold 100 gm assorted sweets. 
display logo, space for price, space for product description. 
Using company colours. 



"The Submarine"
Using the Yellow Submarine as inspiration, package to contain 100 gm chocolate submarines.

In Time Over Time Exhibition

Press release


In Time. Over Time


neo:studios is delighted to announce ”In Time, Over Time”, an international group exhibition of neo: members and invited artists exploring the theme of repetition. The exhibition runs from 3rd July to 10th August in neo:gallery22, The Market Place, Bolton, BL1 2AN. The Gallery is open from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm on Thursday to Sunday.


Each artist in the exhibition is currently working with themes of repetition within their practice. Exhibitors explore this theme through the use of repetitive art making processes, the reproduction or recurrent use of imagery or the collection of similar images and objects. Some exhibitors have also chosen to approach the theme of repetition through the dissection of repetitive human and animal behaviour or the recurrence of powerful emotions and obsessions.


Taking part in the exhibition are artists Rachael Elwell, Beatie Fox, Glynn Griffiths, Bethan Hamilton, Katie Honan, Naomi Lethbridge, Lindsay Amanda Lowcock, Josef Minta, Faye Scott-Farrington, Mohammed Samim Shafiq, Jason Simpson, Berenice Staiger, Jenny Steele, Roos van Haaften, Denis Whiteside and Teresa Wilson. Bethan Hamilton is the curator.

You are warmly invited to the preview which is on Saturday 5th July from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm.


Contact julie.levy@neoartists.co.uk for press enquiries (07789 725753) and jason@neoartists.co.uk (07855 369522) for gallery enquiries.

I am a font now

I made myself into a font because I didn't fancy writing a bunch of stuff.... which actually undermines the theme of the exhibition I am working towards but short of employing interns, this is the best option.... fingers crossed.

New Folk Visionaries

The Pack of Wolves have been at it again, this time inviting Mark Scott-Wood into the group to add a little cardboard pzazz.

The exhibition of five emerging artists on the fringe of the "Art World" celebrates what it is to be an outsider within the new academy of trend and celebrity. We don't care what is selling, we make for the joy of it, we are driven by more than a desire for wealth and acclaim; in this way we follow in the footsteps of folk and outsider artists, eager to explore ways to reconnect art making to the visceral, ancient roots of self expression. Self expression through playfulness, resourcefulness, man-hours and collaboration; the way it should be done.

More details of the event are below

New Folk Visionaries


The work is on show at The Bell, Walthamstow.
(617 Forest Road, E17 4NE London, United Kingdom)
until June 15th

Hope you can get down to see it.

Animated Gif Experiment

First attempt at a more complicated gif animation
This makes me very happy, despite the roughness

WIP

I made a repeat pattern, inspired by camouflage 


 Four sheets of balsa wood, which I covered with my pattern, over 200 pieces to push out 



near completely indecipherable instructions, due to the kit being a 'puzzle'

I sourced some new material

so. I bought myself some new magazines. 
they made me happy about my teeth, upset about my DVD collection and pondering the erotic value of a packet of hula hoops...
