Animal Skull

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s a squirrel! (I think)
Found here.

Laser illumination creates interesting lighting effects. The light source is projected to the object which illuminates it’s surroundings from the point of illumination. So it’s like being able to throw a light bulb onto the surface of an object and use the secondary reflections as the source.
Taken at the ‘Proposed Additions’ exhibition at the OVADA warehouse.

Bossaphonik Band Logos

Creating logos for the Bossaphonik flyers and web site often involves finding low resolution graphics which have to be made into high resolution vector graphics. This involves regular trips to dafont.com for squeezing meaningful resolution out of non-existent pixels.

There was an old lady…

fly
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

spiddy
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

byrd
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird,
How absurd! to swallow a bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

katt
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that! to swallow a cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

boris
There was an old lady who swallowed a dog,
What a hog! to swallow a dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

goatee
There was an old lady who swallowed a goat,
Just opened her throat! to swallow a goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

caaaah
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

horse
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse,
She’s dead—of course!

Will Phipps Flyer

When asked to do a flyer and go mental this is what we get: A shark, the Bridge of Sighs, a canal boat, a burning eye in a pyramid, a snail, a hooka puffing caterpillar, not to mention an elephant with her trunk in a knot over a mouse.

Trumpet Genie

This genie emerges from the horn of a trumpet. He likes to blow his own trumpet. Well there’s a second genie that likes to blow three trumpets. What if a genie emerges from each of these trumpets? Then we have a chaotic fractal situation going on here that leaves mathematicians scratching their heads (and blowing their trumpets?)

Green Sheep Skull

It wasn’t meant to be green, but it turned out green because I unwillingly put green in it. And then against every single sinew of my artistic integrity I put some red in it.
And then I tried to get it back to how it should have been and failed.

Sheep Trails

Flying Skull

Bison Skull

Chinese Lanterns

Bottles in Embers

Minerals

Beetle

These drawings are created from a sheep trail simulator. The light and dark areas in an image represented the abundance of grass, and the area was populated with virtual sheep that ate grass and followed trails where other sheep had been. To make colour, some sheep preferred red grass, others blue and the remaining preferred green grass.

Vegetable CT Scan

I was just minding my own business on the way back from the supermarket when I chanced across a mobile CT scanner. I popped my veg into the scanner and here are the results:

Vegetables included: carrot, broccoli, mushroom, shallot, garlic, chestnut and ginger.

Despite being blasted with x-rays they a jolly good vegetable roast!

These photographs are taken on a long exposure and illuminated with an LED pen. Using the body as a canvas you can create distortions and duplications of limbs.

Carfax Slit Scan

Six minutes. The bottom is the start, where you can see the wheels of a taxi. The streaks are people and buses moving past.

A lady in her blue shalwar kameez is helping her mother out of the taxi.

A red bus paints it’s way deliciously past.

Bike Ride around OVADA Warehouse

I went for two bicycle rides around the OVADA Warehouse: the first one, clockwise and the second one anticlockwise. I passed Ildiko Buckley and Jane Palmer’s “YES” on several occasions.
