I can't fathom how quickly you get these out....highly productive and enormously creative no doubt. I'm still struggling coming up with anything for last week's topic...any chance of pointing me in the direction of some your other non-IF work as I remain suitably impressed.

That's brilliant ! I sense a hint of Pollack. How long did this take you ? It looks fantastic. Delicous to the eyes!

Thanks for multiple compliments Ms Elle, you wouldn't want to me at the moment. Which is related to Deflef's fathoming...

Posts for IF are works found during recent Studio cleaning in preparation to move house. It is way of documenting before they are lost or thrown out (some are already) Which is also why I want to be Anonymous and not have recent work related. Being an Aussie you will eventually find me Detlef. Have been finding it difficult working in a mostly packed studio:(

You are right Steve about the Pollock style. This one was a quickie to do if not counting initial sketches to know how to draw a fish.

1.Quickly direct draw fish on a silkscreen with crayon, then shake talcom powder around. Be sure to use mask on nose and mouth. Pull an ink colour across screen.

2.Repeat with following colours using new screen for each colour and paper cutouts to block unwanted colour.

Fast and furious, took about thirty minutes to make not including setup and cleanup.

Hello Kerry, commented at same time:) Maybe should add all Groupies must be surrounded by boxes and are debilitated by buildings. Will have an online gallery once accomodation issues have settled.

I see something different happening in postmodernism. A world where the idea of high and low is abolished and a different set of standards apply. Take for example photography once considered low and now can be high art. This is something that 'illustrators' and or comic artists should keep in mind. Matter of fact any craft that has been considered low can now step up to bat. Bring it on.

Careful Anthony, someone might think you are refering to my aquatic image as Low Art :) Agree the seperation between High and Low is less. Meaning arises as an effect of historical context, and historical perspective arises as an effect of meaning. Art locates its authenticity in something outside the artist - institutions, audience, society.

If others would like to comment about postmodernism - visit Anthony's Blog!

This is extraordinary. I don't think that I have ever seen anything like it before. I am having trouble with my email so I only just discovered what the topic is. Your have placed the bar very high.

This is really a wonderful look. I like everything about this. Thank you for sharing the technique in your comments. I just love this. I hope you do lots and lots of them because you are obviously very very talented at this technique. Best Regrads, Jacque

Thanks Robyn, no haven't seen anything else done with this method before. Forgot to mention the powder goes on the paper, not screen.
Ta Tony, could be difficult to get powder stick to the wall.
Thanks Joleen and Rabia. Won't be doing any more serigraphs Jacque, they prove to be worst sellers. Guess it has something to do with difference between what is considered as High and Low art in a gallery :)

Love the textural values in this illustration. Great job! Oh and that cute little butterfly flying around. :

man, leave it to you to come up with a million different ways to portray your art. im just starting to dip into some new areas to try and expand my mediums instead of just the basic acrylic or pastel. i really like this one. definately something i would hang up in my living room! :)

Thank you Maggie for the compliment about textural values - which is what I was aiming for.

Chacha, it's exhilerating watching an emerging artist develop and experiment with their work. Go for it! PS This print was made with acrylic inks plus pastel to draw the fish(and powder which isn't good for your health anyway).

Big Harry H. You have won the award for the best comment yet! (Sorry to Art Groupies and Faithful Followers) The good thing about showing art is knowing you have inspired someone. That is your reward as an artist. Your work has also inspired me Harry! Thank you!!

man like everyones said, i need to take classes from you! maybe you can start a newsletter for me and tell me a new concept each week and ill do the illofriday using that medium and well see how it comes out, although i know some people like to keep concepts to themselves so they can have their own unique style, which you certainly have no doubt about it. :)

aiyyyyy! devastated not being your no.1 fan any longer! ha ha...
so sad you're chucking your beautiful work out, i so wish you wouldn't do that, it kills a little part of me! as for my whale, it's definitely not life size, i have nowhere in my pitifully small city apartment to store that kind of thing, it's just too big for my sad little scanner :(
cheers,
your no.2 fan

Nice to hear again from my equally No.1 fans!

Chacha, have no qualms on sharing techniques, style is something that differs by the mind and hand of each artist. Best advice is to experiment with everything. If you like it, work on resolving problems to do with the technique or idea, style will develop naturally.

Some chuckouts are hanging on local kids' walls, some they sold for pocket money to neighbours Hheeehhheee. Not many would have whale sized abodes or studios; it's a whale of a dream.

very true. i did try something new with this weeks illofriday, making baby steps by transforming old pieces little by little. im just never sure which i like better, the original or the newer outcome. what decisions.

Wow this is utterly breath taking! I love how the two demensional medium has created texture and depth in the piece. I know the fish is flat but the energy in the work makes it look like it could just flap right off the canvas!

Breathless!!

Anonymous! Thanks for coming by. I too think your fish looks like it could be a large mural on a highly textured building, or an ancient mural on the wall of a cave. Very cool,

Thanks Nuray, Katherine and Braidwood for compliments about cool, flapping, colour!
