A few pieces, by APM on Mar 22, 2010 16:35:26 GMT 1, Hello everybody! I've just registered and would like to say hello to everybody and share a few recent pieces. A few of you may possibley recognise my work, I'm Alex Maw, also known as 'APM', I've got this whole year rent free at my dad's house, complete with studio to build up a nice body of work, and hopefully start to gain recognition in this art scene.
Me Myself and I
Pen and ink
40x50cm
Redhead
Pen and ink
69x49cm
Recurring
47x42cm
These three pieces, and admittedly, most of the previous work I have done lacks a certain somthing in the subject matter (up for debate?!), and I guess were purposely done to test myself, learn techniques, etc..
Pen and ink
Each piece 32x32cm
These are my latest pair of pieces, where my attention was to do somthing more interesting with the subject matter, let the viewer look into them and link emotions, meanings, and all of that good stuff. This is the direction in which my art is progressing, and the piece I've got in progress is somthing that is seriously testing everything I've ever learnt, and I'm thoroughly enjoying doing it and can't wait for the final outcome!
Crit, advice, everything is welcome, I like to push and better myself with every piece that I do... If anyone is interested more of my work can be seen on my website apmmm.com
Cheers!
Alex

A few pieces, by APM on Mar 22, 2010 16:43:46 GMT 1, Thank you! The redhead piece is actually one piece of a tripdytch.
Unfortunatly, due to the size of the pieces, they're in my basement and not on display, as I can't afford to order in any A0 mount board at the artshop, let alone even think about the framing costs once they are mounted! This is the case with quite a few pieces I have... Being a starving artist isn't all bad though!

A few pieces, by APM on Mar 23, 2010 22:07:11 GMT 1, Someone asked me where I got the idea/inspiration for that piece.... Low and behold, it's thanks to one of my father's paintings, so I took a photo to show:
Photo of course does it no justice what-so-ever, it's a big un, around 5ftx4ft, lots of immense detail which the flick doesn't show, etc.. Its titled 'Eve Buguiled' (Eve from the story Adam and Eve), painted back in 1979...
Here's a few close-ups of it... Bit of a dodgy colour cast due to the artifitial lighting..
Just incase anyone is interested!

A few pieces, by APM on Mar 23, 2010 23:52:20 GMT 1, By my father, Pete Maw. He doesn't look up on the net at all but back in the late 70s to mid 80s he had exhibitied internationaly and in quite a few prestigious places. My house is a small gallery of paintings worth more then the house itself, brilliant!

A few pieces, by APM on Mar 24, 2010 11:14:20 GMT 1, Thanks for the kind words! I can tell you now for sure, that Stanley Spencer was a huge influence to my father. We have quite a few paintings, I will someday soon get good print quality photos of them as I know quite a lot of people interested. Hold tight!

A few pieces, by APM on Apr 1, 2010 19:59:38 GMT 1, Cheers man!
Keeping the progress stuff updated, here's where it's at now..
Still to do:
Snake heads
Big snake's head
Then that's all the mid-tone stuff complete...
I'll have to go over everything, and add darker tones here and there, a few touches of black, then of course the final stage, throw in some highlights...
Making the snakes stripey has probably trippled the time they should of taken... They've been a fucker!
