The warriors cards, for I have no other name for them, are slowly filling a box that I made some months ago for exhibiting found objects, while the cards fit the dimensions of the box exactly the found objects were quickly removed to make way for something more important, from this week forward the guys at www.Forthefallen.com/ keep me informed when there is sad news from Afghanistan to ensure that the cards are fully upto date by rememberance day, check out their site to see the full and up to date list of warriors killed at work.
That is the way it seems in many aspects of my life at the moment, continuation in some areas, discontinuation in others and whatever is left sits on the back burner, such as my slowly growing collection of boxes, there for another time another place.
the most marked area of movement is my creative output, the heavily layered paintworks now form a complete series and cease to be added to, the concept however has continued to move forward and now exist in the form of experimental work toward delivering layers through other means which currently rest as mixed media works, the paintworks on the other hand have moved forward into a more lively and colourful direction expressing some freedom of energy and joy of colour, I say ''some'' freedom of energy because the first piece still shows some level of intent and far less movement and freedom than that which I am seeking.
On the work front The live studio cam at Studio 8 is proving hugely popular, not unlike your average high street shop, some visitors poke their head in the door and leave when they dont see anything of interest while others remain in the doorway watching anything that happens to be going on, how many take a trip to the website as a result of logging onto the cam I am not sure however, over the past 6 weeks there have been a little over 4000 people log on, my facebook profile has also grown in tandem with my friends list jumping from 74 to 338 over the same period.
With the Copenhagen trip being the starting point of what I intend to be an artistic tour of some of the places I have been to in my past on this occasion however both with new eyes and sketchbook and camera, I was stuck a little bit on how best to chart this intention on the internet, I found a new app on facebook, an interactive map where I can place virtual pins onto the places I have visited over the course of my life and, more interestingly, the ability to add pin markers to the places I intend to revisit, with this, and a foto album to follow my journeys, I can share my travels easily with you.
Well, thats my nites ponderance, Mike, the guy that has built
