Description

A collaboration with Nigel Harris aka Naichan in a style similar to that of the old Surrealist "exquisite corpse" method! I'd begun an abstract in Painter back in April but abandoned it; it occurred to me on Saturday night to email it to him to see if anything could be made of it, as I knew I'd never bother to return to it myself. He sent it back today with an overlaid pencil sketch. Finally I worked over the whole thing in Painter before colourizing (and adding text) in Photoshop. Click here to see the progression :-) We're currently working on the musical equivalent, remixing each other's sonic material back and forth... the CD artwork should be a complete collaboration as well, so I think this pic should be considered for inclusion! On a musical note, the final stage of this image was made tonight to a musical accompaniment of Nigel's own Atomic Kewpie album and Taj Mahal Travellers Live in Stockholm 1971... much strangeness has been afoot... Thanks for looking and your feedback is much appreciated :-)

There is so much finesse in this work... man, I am stunned by it. All I can say is that this should be hanging in a museum.

Disturbing in a way, at the same time very hypnotizing. I love it a lot, loaded it down for private pleasure - and now go wandering in wonder through your gallery a bit :-)
