ICONS - FREE Print - WINNER, by Rourke on May 20, 2010 10:40:10 GMT 1, Hello
After an Hardisk going Kaput on me the other week, and losing a couple of years of work, I decided to do a mass backup, and came across alot of work which I did years ago. Icons dating back to 1988 which I originally did as stencils.
I thought it would be good to re-vamp them in my new style.
The first which is still in development is
"Ali and Frazier" Pencil, charcoal, Acylic, Collage & Spraypaint on hardboard. Still got to do a bit more collage headlines, stencil work, and tea. will be posting the completed picture, when I have finished it and also a few others done in various different ways.
let us know your thoughts cheers

ICONS - FREE Print - WINNER, by Rourke on May 25, 2010 13:20:43 GMT 1, Just Like to clarify something, aftere reading summat on another thread.
All my stencils are Hand drawn vector images, using my right hand. Plotting point by point, some of them taking at least 150hrs to produce. I did them this way, cos I wanted them perfect. And you can't get that by putting them through a couple of programmes.
Cheers

I have just shown the images to a colleague at work who also prefered the first image and then went on to say that the image was wrong because Frazier knocked Ali down with a left hook and not a right. Also, on the ropes it says Clay and should be Ali. I prefer to look at the image for what it is and not be a boxing nerd and pick fault in it.
Great piece of work Rourke.
I must admit, i have only just got into your work and have picked up 5 pieces in the last week from various places. I saw a listing on the forum and then went onto your website and loved it. Some odd pieces, that weren't my cuppa at all and a lot of very very cool stuff. I don't want to have your children or anything, just wanted to say that I think your work is very cool.

This is another for boxing fans, This one was done around the same time. Marciano was another Boxing Icon of mine, but I did it, because my Dad was a huge fan of Joe Louis.
CHEERS

Thinks its because he looks like he is wearing guyliner? I do tend to over emphasise the eyes will sort out a close-up shot.

Correct. Would be good if these could be changed.
Defo be interested but knowing this was factually wrong would put me off a purchase. (if it was for sale that is!)

I do tend to over emphasise the eyes will sort out a close-up shot. Yeah, I think it is the eyes. Anyway, fantastic details. And I dig the Vicious/Rotten one.

Cheers for your interest.
I think this is the knockdown in the last round
The Casius Clay bit on the ropes, I have lost the Mohammed ali bit with the spray paint. but its not a problem to bring it back, when I do more work on it. here the bit I used
Cheers fellas.
Keep finding out ones which I have lost, on the disc which went down. am gutted But will post some more later.
