eel - my art, by Deleted on Nov 10, 2014 19:36:29 GMT 1, I was advised that this is the best place to set up a thread to share my art.
So, being an ex-serviceman, I am proud to start off with this; my 'Sacrifice' piece. I made two, one was placed at Brighton War Memorial the other at The Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday 2014.
Let me know what you think guys and girls. Lots more images on my website; www.eelart.co.uk.
Thank you for your time;

I am hoping the Brighton 'Sacrifice' will find its way to Blind Veterans i.imgur.com/tgKqKkEl.jpg
and The Cenotaph piece i.imgur.com/fXdZcrAl.jpg
...to The Royal British Legion i.imgur.com/20gOL2Xl.jpg

During my time at the memorial this lady looked at the tags and then gently ran her hand over the piece. I have to say, that was great to see. I personally think some art should be a little more 'hands on'... i.imgur.com/ukt303sl.jpg
I over heard this little boy saying to his mum, 'I like this one mum'; i.imgur.com/jkEInJWl.jpg
I've also posted 6 of my 'indifference' prints up on the ยฃ50 Art Thread in Urban Art, at a special price of only ยฃ45 a print. If you haven't seen the ยฃ50 art thread check it out, its a great idea. I think you have to jump to the last page to view the most recent posts.

eel - my art, by Deleted on Nov 11, 2014 0:32:39 GMT 1, Not sure my 'Caulfield' piece (homage to Patrick Caulfield) receives as much attention as my 'Wish You Were Here' does...
i.imgur.com/R4zHdoj.jpg
Although it has been lurking under the viaduct on the A270 New England Road for sometime now. It does give me pleasure to see it every time I pass, like a colourful, cheery friend
i.imgur.com/2wR36Nz.jpg
It is kind of high though, I like to think it gives the drivers something to look at while they're stuck in the never ending traffic jam

eel - my art, by Deleted on Nov 11, 2014 9:05:53 GMT 1, I would love one of the Sacrifice pieces, very well done! Thanks mister frameman. It means a lot to me to have feedback, especially on this piece.
I only made two and hope that they reach their intended charities, they can then do as they wish with them.
I am considering making a small edition, maybe 10 or so, of I suppose, 'Sacrifice - detail'. Each would have one or two spray can tops in a box frame with barbed wire. I would, of course donate a percentage of the sales to Help for Heroes. Not sure yet, don't wanna kick the arse out of the idea and it's important to me that the act of Rememberance isn't lost.
Now I have to think of something for next year!

Thank you! Hmmmm, I think Brighton, London AND Sydney, all on the same day, would have been a bit too far to go! Perhaps I could make one next year and send it over to you to place on behalf of the Forum?
Oh, I love coincidences, hours, numerical palindromes etc. My favourite is when I wake in the middle of the night and the clock says 3.33, or similair.

I'd be more than happy if you could let an official at the RBL know its there for them to collect? The idea I had in my head would be which ever department clears the wreaths away would ensure it reaches them?

eel - my art, by Deleted on Nov 11, 2014 14:40:15 GMT 1, Thank you sir! Looks like I may make a small 'Sacrifice -detail' edition of 11. Might be keen to purchase one too. Hey ruggs,
Looks like I'm making these then! mister frameman has already kindly offered to donate frames, very generous of him. I'll have to check with my framer first, otherwise he might cry!
I'm thinking ยฃ120 each? All framed up, an edition of 11 (seems to be the obvious number to me)? With most, or all the profit going to Help for Heroes.
Guys, let me know your thoughts on this, edition number? Price? Also, do you guys prescribe to box frames signed on the front panel? I personally think it detracts from the piece. I prefer to sign and stamp my pieces on the back of the frame.
I think I would hold back number 11 to auction on ebay after the edition, hopefully has sold out.
My only worry is that the rust from the barbed wire will come off in the box frame. I guess I'll have to spray it with a fixer.

I'd be happy with number 9

Thanks 'I like pictures' nice idea. My initial reaction was , oh red, white and blue, but think changing the colour of the spray can top would detract from the whole piece, if the colour was changed, with the top representing the poppy. I'll stick with just the one small edition, but I like your thinking.

eel - my art, by Deleted on Nov 14, 2014 10:14:12 GMT 1, This detail of my 'Sacrifice' piece is on its way to mister frameman, who's very graciously donating the frames.
Once we've decided how best to frame them, the edition of 11 will be sold, ยฃ120 each and proceeds will be going to Help for Heroes.
Will keep you guys posted and they'll be offered to forum members first before going onto ebay. No 9 has already been sold and bagged by ABC, thank you Sir! No. 11 will be listed on ebay when they've, hopefully, all sold (this is to maximise the return for the charity).

i.imgur.com/SON5720l.jpg
i.imgur.com/HZ3Keiil.jpg
i.imgur.com/FLIcD8xl.jpg
I made this a while ago and the narrative is that I was inspired by Hirst suing Cartrain! So its kind of a swipe at Hirst. As was this, which made it into the Cork Street Open Exhibition...
'The Physical Impossibility of a 300-Bedroom Gloucestershire Mansion in the Mind of a Sardine'! Made after he bought his mansion.
i.imgur.com/KHLr93ml.jpg
i.imgur.com/sjx3nlIl.jpg
It was likened to Marcel Duchamp, by an online magazine, which is a hell of a complement!

You could always buy my first screen print, hee hee, its on the ยฃ50 art thread, special offer to forum members, for just ยฃ45.
Anyways, very happy you like the work. Will keep you posted.

I know artists are supposed to let go of their work but I can't bring myself to let my 'Spot the difference' go. Do you have any pieces you've kept?
Perhaps I should make a screen print of it, but not sure it would be obvious they're spray can tops.
