Think your right mate, that would look great.
when I was doing the 3d paints, I really enjoyed doing them.
Would love to have a go at a full sculpture, at some point.

May have a go at bringing the 3d element into these, as a bit of an experiment

Thankyou for the post

Thankyou

Little bit more under painting, time and experimenting on this one.
so theres more underlying.

Cheers

Wow, love 46, lovely piece!

loving your work rourke - looking forward to more... i loved the lona one from jump - that's why i bought it... (before the give-aways, lolllllllll)

when the banksy nola image was released, could have bought one (i recall them being up on the site for a few days) - but it was so personal - couldn't bring myself to put one on my wall at the time - i love new orleans, badly - but the reminder of hurricane katrina caused so much pain at the time - we tried to get in there and help, but couldn't (good god, it was america - how could that happen!) - the images on tv were so painful had to eventually turn the tv off

anyways - your lona piece has a different softer meaning of that similar nola image for me now... shelter from the rain and all that - i will always remember the sound of the music of the raindrops on the umbrella that sheltered me, when i needed shelter most

the nola piece has taken on greater meaning for me now (just wish i could have helped new orleans more timely, at the time)...

(keeping that lona one, btw, lol - can't wait to see it when it arrives...)

Really love your stuff , ever thought of painting just a piece of a face?

Morning

Thought I would share my youngests first painting, done a while ago now, around the time I did the First LOt of the Curate's Egg Series.
Jadyn as been making alot of unwelcomed marks around the house for ages now, Doen't go down with the Wife very well, as alot of them are made with her Make-up.
I have always looked at them with a bit of a Eureka moment. The look of them I have been trying to create myself for years, uncontrolled pure expression.
Anyways got me thinking about a little experiment, I know you shoudnt experiment with small children but I knew it was in the best interest of The walls in our House, and my wife.
Jadyns Paint strokes, my guidance where to put his uncontrolled marks, what the outcome would be. there is prob about 5% of me in this, the rest is from Jadyn who as never picked up a brush.
But He can't wait for the next time he does

and this is it

Holy cow - that is an incredibly talented child sir!

That's far better than anything I could paint!

lol ;D
No but he is the reason behind it

thanks guys for comments, will show hime them tonight.

Have to say Rourke, your work has been growing and growing on me, I will be purchasing some very soon as I find it hard to resist.
Especially as its like time lapse and we see where the work is and where its going.
Love it, keep it up and thanks for keeping us posted.

Thought I would break it up a bit from the new stuff,
with some stuff you might not of seen before.
It was part of the Artist Portraits I did for the Redhouse Show in December.
This was a bit of a Experiment

Cheers

just bump this up
cheers

Cheers mate
Controling the style more now, its like a massive balancing act, consisting of
loads of elements. Was very hard to strink the style down, and still get the same look as the bigger heads.

thanks again, glad you like
will be doing more figures
