"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Oct 20, 2008 15:50:19 GMT 1, Hey Forum,
Just finished my next piece. (nearly) I had to do loads of corrections so there's still a few mistakes. Thought i'd get the idea down on here sooner rather than later.
Spaypaint on canvas - will do 10 of this edition.

(his left eye is a little dodgy so will fix and replace later). Sorry for the bad quality phone pic. Any comments/feedback really appreciated.
Cheers

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Oct 20, 2008 20:39:38 GMT 1, thanks for the useful input guys! Yeh noticed the easel was too high. I'll make the canvas wider, shorten the legs a bit and move it down. I'm not sure about the books. I'm worried it might look too busy and run the risk of breaking the 'simple' rule, sort of turn it bit cartoon-ey. Also it might come across as a bit of an attack on hirst, when it's more about the industry. I was going to put a price tag hanging off it to direct the idea a bit further (like its already worth 1 mil before hes finished) but scrapped that for the same reason. Anway, he needs a bit of red on his left cheek and a bit more yellow higher up his nose, I could probably brighten his feet up a bit too, (god i'm noticing everything now) and some more white on his hand..arrrghhh! it was an awful pic on my camera phone so having to guess most of it. I always get very eager to get the idea down and then fix it while i'm doing my next one. Only painful thing is the bloody spots, they get well boring! a pretty stencil though
Hey thanks Dan, yeh good to meet you man, your stuff was kickin ass at upfest (are you sure you didn;t have some lights behind that board!) no really you had some big crowds watching and the end result was better than it looks on here!
Thanks again, im gonna get to it!

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by Dellboyy on Oct 21, 2008 10:59:16 GMT 1, Looks good, well executed too! Only thing i'd say, is personally i'd have the picture centered with less whitespace around, so the easel is centered and the kid is to one side... again just personal preference i suppose!
Nice work though!

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Oct 21, 2008 12:59:39 GMT 1, Thanks everyone for all the comments some really interesting ones.
Great concept! and very well executed! I would love to know the size you made it in... I do nitice you use the same colours for people as in posterize? maybe use more skin like colours? congrats! THis is a great piece!
I'll get a pic up to show the size but the canvas (i think) is 60cm x 70cm roughly. I only use paint when i mess around with photos and if i want to change the colour i just do that after. with this photo being so bad I don't think any programme would have helped (unless i'm missing something) I find the natural yellow and red colours work best and also give the person a warm feel and i quite like how the colours go with the more bold black and white stencil (gives the person more impact).
Yes delboy I think I agree about the composition. standrews i'll PM you when I have finished it and if you like the price i'll put you down for no. 2 or 3 of 10 (couple of PM's have come in as well) still unsure about adding any books i think it will be too busy along with the paint cans.
Thanks so much you are all brilliant! i've got 3 awesome ideas (never done before) that i am dying to work on, so i'll get this one fixed asap!

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Oct 27, 2008 0:17:44 GMT 1, I tried to fix the last one too many times so ended up starting again. I think this one is nearly there, a bit of work on the pots.
The next one will for the finished edition (of 10) so I value your feedback.
Thanks

Yep totally agree, already have the smaller canvas, the colours are a bit bright you're right, there is the option of reducing the brightness with white, but it may take away the impact and set the image back if you get what i mean.
So you think maybe brown, creamy yellow and white? or maybe three tones of grey to bring the colours of the hirst forward?....mmmmm......right off to get more paint and i'll try both.
Benslow - cheers man! I am working on an idea now that will feature 'the blow' ;D

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by graeme501 on Oct 30, 2008 12:38:10 GMT 1, instead of brown and creamy yellow, maybe try for as close as u can get 2 a natural skin colour, and then a slighly darker skin colour, think it would look much better

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Oct 30, 2008 13:08:19 GMT 1, yeh possibly, only with the paint pots and spots it will then be a full colour piece, not sure if that may take some of the urban feel away. Just my thought, but no harm in giving it a go.
Appreciate your input graeme

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Nov 9, 2008 23:04:11 GMT 1, Hello again forum!
thanks for the comments guys!
I had a go at changing the colours of the kid. I tried 3 shades of grey to bring forward the colours in the hirst, but it didn't work at all because of the background being grey. Then I bought a can of skin colour (as close as) and the damn geezer in the shop had the wrong lid on it. So I tried a brown and grey version, which again failed (below).
Here is the previous one which is now finished and i've finally nearly finished the final one on a slightly smaller canvas.
Edition of 10 Spraypaint on Canvas
Thanks again!

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Dec 3, 2008 11:21:01 GMT 1, Helloooooooo forum!
Thought i'd pop a last pic on this thread. Been snowed under with stuff which is all good. I got around to finishing the first of the edition and forgot to take a pic of it . I have since sold 3 and here is a pic of 4 of 10 that has just gone off the UPFEST, where the rest of the edition will be available. It's not a close up but, you can see that it's now on a smaller canvas, the hirst has been adjusted and few amendments here and there.
I just want to say thankyou to all that have commented and enquired about this piece. I am happy with how it came out in the end and all the feedback has been encouraging.
All the best

I had no idea you commented (ages ago) on this idea. Thanks for your comments.
Dug the thread out because I am pleased to say that this edition has now fully sold. Thanks everyone for their comments.
I am going to do another edition (the final) of 10 where the kid is in shades of grey, sp the only colours are the spots, as some were put off by the bright David d**kenson look. ;D
Thanks again to all and hope all forum customers enjoy!
edit - haha can't believe i couldnt write dickenson ;D

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Jan 16, 2009 8:37:38 GMT 1, excellent! thanks for posting that. I heard about some docu film since doing it and apparrently it is brilliant! am i right in thinking a bunch of galleries in the states (major players) released a painting and marketed it as 'the next big thing' it sold for like 200k and then they let everyone know it was a 4 year girl! ;D
I must watch it, damn should have got in there earlier and they may have used my pic as the front cover!
Cheers Ikkeno!

"My Kid Could Paint That" - new edition!, by LEVI C on Feb 13, 2009 0:54:14 GMT 1, Hi forum
thought i'd dust off this old thread with a first of the new (and final) editon of 10 in black and white. Not sure if I prefer it to the other but am happy with the outcome. God i've now done these spots 11 times!
the flash makes the spots look faded so heres one without.
70cm x 50cm spraypaint on box canvas 9 available ( thanks again to all who've purchased or shown an interest in this idea. Definatley one of my better pieces so far (but not for long ;D), not really an option of a print run because of all the spots and i think i'd go mad hand finishing them.
cheers!
