End of Year, New Work

Well its been quite an exciting year and I've been pretty busy all in all. I'm working towards a solo  show in 2018 to showcase my current 'Existence is Doubted' project. I've also applied for a few opportunities so fingers crossed on that front.
Finally finished a new animation titled 'Interstellar Fly-by' again this uses my own drawings as textures, with the whole piece being inspired by the 'Voyager' space probes. The music/audio is Blind Willie Johnsons 'Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground' a stunningly atmospheric piece which is one of the 31 audio tracks chosen for the gold records stored on the 'Voyager' probes launched in 1977. Voyager has now left the influence of our solar system and is in Interstellar space, but at least its got a great mix-tape to keep it company. I think it fits perfectly. I have also been working on a large scale piece (titled New Tethyzonia) of over 20 different drawings which fit together to make a cartographic- like landscape, the idea being that each tile is a different plot. Ideally I would like to make an animation using the whole drawing to be shown beside it when complete, but we will have to wait and see how it goes. I've finished 12 only 10+ to go. Some examples should be below. Happy New Year to all and see you in 2018.
