1. This one's a few months old. Tribute to the late Jade Goody, based on (shamelessly ripped off) Klimt's "The Kiss" Just thought I'd post it anyway, though it's the following two that are in my new series. This one's just called, "The Ki$$" Original, I know...
2. Seven dwarves as insurgents. No title as yet...any suggestions?
3. "I f***ing Thirst!" Jesus, and a bottle of WKD. Need I say more?
(Not quite finished, I have awful habit of leaving things half done and never coming back)
Hope you like, they do make sense when in the context of the series, honest!

The Kiss is my favourite by a long stretch, in fact I really like it. The others just feel a little bit derivative of general 'Urban' ideas and somewhat old hat.
Hope you take this constructively because essentially the work is very well executed and effort has clearly gone into it. Interested enough to ask if you're on flickr, I would be keen to follow.

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by unseenartist on Nov 1, 2009 23:40:13 GMT 1, Hey thanks guys for the responses. @ Monkeyballs, thanks a lot for the cc, I defo agree about the drips for the dwarves, however I think a lot of them on Jesus work, and without them it'd be a tad bare, but I reckon I should have toned them down/not done so many - I totally agree it's "somewhat old hat" in the sense that lots of works like this feature drips or whatever effects which appear to be tacked on for the sake of it, and because that's what the artist has seen in graffiti work. Same with me, I've seen the style and loved it, but I do always try to keep it my own and not just do something for the sake of doing it. That said, I'm a young artist, just starting out and I'm nowhere near finding my own style yet, so a lot of the stuff I'm doing now I'll totally dismiss in a few years, for the reasons you've stated. Cheers! Don't have a flickr but website/blog soon hopefully, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the interest.
For everyone interested -
"The Ki$$" was acrylic on wood with sprayed stencils - Montana Gold (it's the first and only brand I've ever used, only just starting out)
The dwarves and the Jesus piece were both oil on wood, with spray drips and stencils. Sharpie paint markers used for black/white outlines.
Anyone wants to know more, just ask!
Cheers guys, Charlotte

I don't know if you meant no digital work in the final pieces or within the whole process from start to finish -
The pieces are all purely oil/acrylic/spray paint on wood, and I made the stencils in Photoshop.

Can i ask how you did the Jesus part of the third piece? is it stencils and oils mixed?

That said in this reference it suits as I believe it may be a parody of a bluebird from song of the south, so more disney fairytale twist for your buck  Banksy

Ahhh that's so strange as I've never seen this one either!! My decision to do the Disney bird with the grenade was purely cuz I saw the two little animals - the rabbit n the bird - on a Snow White pic and decided to use them with the dwarves, stick a suicide jacket on the rabbit n put a grenade in the beak of the bird. Obviously Banksy's bird is stylised in some way - but does look v like the Disney. Mine's an exact copy of Disney's. Not that I'll say I've never copied Banksy, certainly been inspired by his ideas, but never seen this bird picture before. Damn...haa!
@schlomo, Jesus and his bottle of WKD are just oil paints, sketched in detail with pencil first. Cheers, Charlotte

I have to admit that I think it might look better without those drips. Would have gone for an angry face on the second copper as well. The one smiling irritates me a bit and doesn't go that well with the message of the piece imo.

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by unseenartist on Nov 7, 2009 2:26:23 GMT 1, Many thanks guys for the comments, great feedback.
kunstrasen - I'd be really interested to know what you feel the message of the piece is, as quite honestly, I don't know myself what I really felt or meant when doing it, it was simply a little idea I got and just had to do - more from an aesthetic point of view I think. So would be great to know what exactly it says to you!
This is something I did earlier today - just took the photo, added in the logo, tacked on the Lego slogan "play on..." and wanted to know your thoughts. My original idea was to paint it, but i just don't know how to go about it - any ideas on what might work best?
Cheers, Charlotte

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by Mark Perronet on Nov 7, 2009 12:50:28 GMT 1, Good stuff indeed. I like the coppers expression, it keeps it a bit light and some of them are good guys, maybe it's New Year's Eve and he's being tolerant. I don't think you should worry about what it means, for me it works just because the physical attitude of Christ is so perfect for a staggering drunk.
Technically I think they are amazing.
First comment from a newbe I will stick some of mine up in a moment.

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by kunstrasen on Nov 7, 2009 13:23:29 GMT 1, Hi Charlotte! About your 'I f***ing Thirst!' piece..well I see the figure Jesus in its original interpretation loaded with all these "human" characteristics like kindness, honesty, social behavior and all sorts of this kind...looking out into the world human nature seems different, there is not that much stuff like that around. Mostly envy, thirst for attention and money, everybody trying to belong not questioning anything anymore. In this sense I saw Jesus thirsting for what his figure stands for rather than for a drink. The state of being wasted/drunk kind of supports that since I see alcohol as the number one drug used while depressed or frustrated or for trying to get something you wouldn't get while being sober. That's 'my meaning' but in the end that is a very personal thing depending on your experiences and attitudes...
..liking the logo piece as well and I would just leave it like it is. Nothing wrong with photography.

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by unseenartist on Mar 31, 2010 16:59:23 GMT 1, New work in the same series:
This is just a test spray - crit would be really appreciated on this one. I've never actually done a test before on any other pieces...always just gone in completely blind, so really need to start experimenting beforehand and getting feedback.
Pretty tiny canvas so purposefully left out details on the stencils, but the main issue is transferring my pencil sketch of the boy on the bike and the dog (or Julian and Timmy from the Famous Five, as it happens) onto the canvas/board in the best possible way. For this I just used carbon paper and it wasn't very successful. Looks messy. Might use smoother surface for the real thing, but is there any better method?
Ignore 'Timmy", I drew him in about 0.5 secs. As to the stencils, I don't really like their style, not rounded or textured enough for me, so will work on them further. (They're from my own photos - I got my brother to dress up as a chav and a 50's kid...)
There's the original sketch..
Also, would love to know what a person who's viewing it for the first time thinks of it. Is it clear what/who it is? Is it worth doing?
Feedback would be awesome, and thorough criticism/advice/ideas I will gladly take.
Cheers, Charlotte

New pieces - constructive crit much appreciated, by idiom on Mar 31, 2010 21:01:13 GMT 1, Hi
Why not just draw it straight on in pencil and then ink it up? I think it's good idea though. I'm sure a couple of different hoodies for your brother wouldn't have gone amiss... I'm sure if you've brought it this far it's worth finishing up!
And, a small final point. I think it would look good if one of the other bikers were looking towards him like he was talking directly to them.
