War Boutique ๐ฌ๐ง Metropolitan Peace โข Art For Sale, by Coach on Sept 19, 2013 22:33:45 GMT 1, From the art alibi website
The question is how we, as individuals, can contribute to the necessity of protecting our rapidly declining bee population.
Albert Einstein once said : "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
I love this too. And from the programes I've watched, a seriously worrying issue.
Also worries that War Boutique appears no longer to be a member - if so, that is a huge loss to this forum. HUGE.

Big loss. Great bloke. I could talk to him for hours. One of the most interesting artist I have ever met.

War Boutique ๐ฌ๐ง Metropolitan Peace โข Art For Sale, by Coach on Dec 31, 2013 22:55:10 GMT 1, I thought I would share with you a little art project that my son and I have done with War Boutique.
As many will know I have huge respect for WB, his art and his passion. As I've mentioned on here before, I find him an incredibly interesting person, and could listen to him talk for hours. If you ever have the fortune to meet him you will know what I mean - he really knows his stuff.
I have met WB a few times, and have kept in touch. He came up with the idea of a little "art competition" between my son and I. He would send us prints, that we had to "complete".
Now, I'm no artist. but it sounded fun. It's really all in the spirit of Happymeal's Monday art thread - just getting us doing something together and arty. There's no prize, and no need for us to decide who "wins".
So the prints arrived a title while ago. I sat on it for a while, due to lack of time, and as festivities approached we decided it would be a great thing to do together over the break. We got cracking yesterday.
Really great fun. I had to ask my lad for loads of advice. The first hurdle was overcoming the feeling that we were committing an art crime by making any mark on beautiful prints, gorgeously printed, on such thick card. But once we got stared, it was fab.
Here are the prints, pre our efforts.

War Boutique ๐ฌ๐ง Metropolitan Peace โข Art For Sale, by Coach on Dec 31, 2013 23:00:43 GMT 1, And here we go with the results
First my lad's one:
And my one:
We both went with the same theme - the diminishing natural environment for animals, and bees in particular as that crisis is the focus of the original piece.
I hope you like our efforts I hope in particular that WB does. Thanks mate. I really enjoyed doing this with my son, thanks to you.
Please be gentle with me folks! I am not an artist!!!
Happy New Year, my friends.

War Boutique ๐ฌ๐ง Metropolitan Peace โข Art For Sale, by Coach on Feb 10, 2014 19:05:48 GMT 1, This is great news for War Boutique. His "The Great Game" has been aquired by the National Army Museum. I have to say that I am impressed that they aquired it, in view of the fact that WB's art often takes a satirical swipe at war. It's a fabulous piece, that I had the pleasure of seeing at the Herbert gallery show, War Peace and Reconcilliation.
I understand that the piece will be off to Dresden this summer, to be shown there.
WB, great artist in my opinion. I've said it before - if you ever get the chance to go to one of his artists talks, don't miss it - he is fascinating to listen to.
Interesting article about The Great Game here:

Recall seeing this piece on the forum during the show at the Herbert and thinking at the time that it was a clever and insightful work. Congratulations to WB and both the Army Museum and the Herbert for their free thinking and foresight.
