Second state.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Used some little stencils on this layer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I like to use stencils occasionally. And sometimes I\u2019ll use the inner cut-out spaces, whilst others I\u2019ll paint around the pieces that were cut out. If you see what I mean? These of course can be flipped over, or even used to \u2018print\u2019, giving a lot of potential for per-mutation\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further abstractifying\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm!? Well, I\u2019m pressing on. With Sun Ra\u2019s Secrets of The Sun <\/em>playing in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose the music is supposed to be helping me create the artwork? But, truth be told, it\u2019s so out there<\/em>, and I\u2019m feeling worse for wear after last night\u2019s regrettable whisky-fuelled foolishness\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So me-thinks I\u2019ll return to Planet Earth for a while! At least till my own inner world calms down\u2026 a lot!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Removed two strips of masking tape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The above is the current state of play. At around 1pm, today. I\u2019ll work more on this piece later. It for now I needs must book some work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So RSI from hitting \u2018refresh\u2019, here we come\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wee mask\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More structural blocking in\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two different croppings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went out, did two delivery shifts. Got back, and did this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Way too busy, and not enough coherence.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m really unsure of this piece, at present. But never mind. Have faith, Seb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Zooming in a bit\u2026 I quite like this detail!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding a couple of larger blocked in type elements. Simplifying the too busy composition (which was always the intention).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A bit more colour\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve included stylised references to trumpet, saxophone, drums and double bass, in this piece. There will also be piano keys, in due course\u2026 for Sun Ra, obvs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A different perspective\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Possible croppage?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s still a long way to go. And I\u2019m not sure if the end result will be any good, frankly. But I\u2019ve made the effort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Originally intended dimensions\u2026 better?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I feel that, whilst I\u2019m not over the moon about this piece, it is at least going roughly where intended. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
