Pop!

So, I finally dragged my ass down to the new Pop Art section (re: tiny room) at Wolverhampton Art Gallery and while the visit itself was horrendous* I was totally in awe at the artwork.

I have a new fave piece.

B.A.S.H by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi

* Trying to take a photo of a Blake screenprint, I almost had my foot broken by a gaggle of amazons, screeching and pratting about in the 60s and 70s costumes that you can try on. Then, while I was trying to take photos of the Warhol print, Jackie, a trio of emo tweenies - decided to heckle me until I gave them the death stare. They soon shut up.

Random

Just some random stuff (old and new):

Printing

One of this semester's modules deals with silk screen printing and also etching and aquatints.

This is a piece I created for the silk screen printing. So far so good, I printed 12 copies in light grey, next week I will be going over these with a darker ink - blanking out where I want to keep the lighter shade of smoke. Red and black will come later...
