NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by Agent Provocateur on Mar 23, 2008 13:33:03 GMT 1, good morning all... i thought i'd post a couple of my early stencils for your comments!
i posted one of my pieces for the first time on the board yesterday, a little tongue-in-cheek easter canvas (in the wrong place ) called 'second coming' (see the thread 'happy easter... with an irreverant twist') and got some positive comments and advice one of which was to take my stealth mode off and post more of my work(!), thanks gvd.
so below are two early stencils on card (sorry for the poor quality images, phone camera i'm afraid)...
'limited edition' a comment on our greed and avarice for exclusive and expensive limited editions without a thought for the effect on poorer economies and the wildlife
'second coming' this is a powerful sketch for the similarly titled canvas (see my explanation at the end of the thread mentioned above)... i really like the weight of line and blur
let me know if you have any feelings either way... as usual, comments (positive and negative), advice, indifference, swearing and rapture will be taken on the chin ;D
hope you're all having a cosy easter indoors!

NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by GVD on Mar 23, 2008 13:49:21 GMT 1, Looks pretty good !
I'd give the tiger some colour, and keep the nike sign white, so it really stands out. But good effort for you first couple of stencils .

NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by Agent Provocateur on Mar 23, 2008 14:31:52 GMT 1, cheers gvd
i have also done this white version... but not just the logo. one of my reasons for not separating the logo from the tiger was the simplicity and singularity of the tiger/logo combination. i love playing with positive and negative shapes. similary with the lack of background, i placed the tiger in the right of the composition to give the feeling of space and movement without having to include any environmental forms.
the idea behind all my early work was to see just how simple the shapes and lines could be whilst still conveying the message clearly. colour, texture and mixed media follows these early studies...

NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by funyoung on Mar 23, 2008 16:53:07 GMT 1, Like the tiger but like GVD I feel the Nike sign needs to be bought out. Understand your reasons for not doing this however. What happens if you had the Nike sign in black with the rest the same? Or make in black and smaller? My reason for this is that on first glance it looked as though you had 'missed a bit' before realising it was the nike logo. I prefer the first image (white background) to the second (cardboard) as it looks stronger. Turns into a bengalese tiger (is that right?) in the second one.

The Nike logo is subtle, but yet completely understood, no need for overemphasis. Similarly, the version you have shown with a white silhouette layer detracts from the piece also.
Leave it as is from the original picture at the top. That is absolutely awesome! simple as that.

NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by Agent Provocateur on Mar 25, 2008 19:36:35 GMT 1, thanks for all the great comments ;D
although there are differing opinions about whether to make it more detailed or not... i have just completed a slightly different version with a small amount of background so the tiger doesn't look like it's floating... and with a bit of added colour (aka like some of the trainers themselves, supbtle tho!).
i like the simplicity, the movement, colour hint and how the nike logo seems to be part of the tigers fur rather than added on. sorry for the bad pics, not good light and still on the phone camera ahhhh (hope you can see them ok).
hav a look...
and his brother...
for all you guys who have already expressed a wish to get hold of one... i will endevour to knuckle down a produce a little 'special edition' just for you!
bear with me whilst i try and get them together... i'll contact you with all the details (personal photo of your tiger, edition, postage etc).

I'm with cashman on not being 100% sure about shadow/background but love the touch of colour.

NEW art by Agent Provocateur..., by bunnyboy on Mar 25, 2008 22:31:44 GMT 1, This looks really nice now - well done. Simple but effective. I like the way that it's just a hint of colour. Draws the eye without being too obvious. Just enough background too. That image on cardboard would look v. cool. Nice work.

the good thing is i'm happy with both... the simple tiger on it's own (no white silhouette) with black stripes and hint of red... and the tiger with background and the same colouring. coolio...
right, well as of now, 22:00, i will draw up a list of people that i'll do one for (only from the people already promised or who have professed a wish for one) and will contact you individually checking which sort of tiger you'd like (background, no background, just black stripes or with a hint of colour).
bear with me, i'll get things going asap.

I really like your first pic of the Tiger, nice stencil. I didn't agree that it needed the touching up, but the final rsult is also very attractive. Good luck with your work man! Most of all, keep enjoying it!
