Digital or Screen Printing??

2010-04-21T06:09:00.000-07:00

For my next T-shirt design that will be coming out under the 'Fred Bear Apparel' label, i need to decide how to get the image printed. the choice will be between digital printing or screen printing, you can see the two examples below. The slightly brown dotted one being the screen printed image, Clearly the image wouldn't be brown its just how you view it. the more Grey image is the digital one, which will print pretty much as i drew the image originally....

..thoughts?

2009-12-08T12:24:00.000-08:00

never one to take part in the Christmas card competitions at school and uni, but i thought i would have a crack at it this year. The added addition of the Christmas market with my 'Soupa' friends helping as well of course.

Comedic Kings Revisited

2009-09-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

As i said i would, i have revisited my piece on the comedic kings. Slightly worried that people who aren't fan's of the audio books created by the threesome wont understand it, but to be completely honest, its more an image for myself! lol

i will created one more image after seeing Ricky's new stand up in November to finish off the set.

Battle Scarred

2009-09-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

Illustration in response to the program aired recently by 'channel 4's dispatches', there has been a lot of press recently around the conflict within Afghanistan, equipment shortages, death toll's, British and afghan but not much on the struggle that the soldiers have adjusting once they have returned from one of the most hostile places on the earth.

Comedic Kings

2009-09-04T01:20:00.000-07:00

Half finished piece on the two kings of comedy. Its something i have wanted to do for a while now and have managed to sneak in the time to get it done. inspired by there colourful language and play on awkward situations.

Toxic

2009-08-31T05:27:00.001-07:00

Work on a subject growing with importance every year.

Edit: adding this version because i think the green makes it conflict with the idea of toxic waste against green (economic) so instead i have tried with the purple version. thank god for 'Hue'!

Return to form

2009-07-31T10:52:00.000-07:00

Feedback from China

2009-05-09T05:14:00.000-07:00

A small collection of newspaper articles and clipping i have managed to find some Chinese media, still waiting to get it translated.

Also my Certificate given to me by the Wu Han Government, very honored to receive this award. The Soupa Group was the first ever set of artists from outside China to be given this award

In new artists I Trust

2009-04-30T03:12:00.000-07:00

in Recognition of up and coming artists, i have completed a collaboration with my younger brother Jamie Waller. The image is part of a set (to be completed) which serve the purpose of getting young artists in to the art world early on. the title 'Art For Your Ears' is about the ever growing connection between art and music. i hope to complete other collaborations with a range young artists, getting clear talent out and about.

Collaberation Fresh from China

2009-04-24T15:26:00.000-07:00

me and Mr Jason Lear finally finished our Collaboration work just in time for China, although the work was not used it was good to see it come together. it should be appearing in an exhibition in Poole High street from Tuesday, so the work hasn't gone to waste!

The work is a reflection on Contemporary styles and the very old Edwardian and Victorian styles. in our eyes, bring the best together.

Wu Han City China, Art Exhibition

2009-04-24T15:02:00.000-07:00

first of all, wow. really didn't expect the trip to be like it was at all! staying in the most amazing hotel, meeting the most amazing people, showing off my work whilst having it all paid for! really couldn't have asked for more!

the Exhibition went very well, around 20,000 people came to view the work, which was a mix of Chinese and English artwork. Most of the English artwork was from the Soupa group, the rest came from close friends.

Craziest day of the trip was doing a speech to a couple of hundred people and then doing around 5 - 6 TV interviews and radio Interviews about the exhibition. meeting the co-owner of the billion pound company 'New World' and the Leaders of the Hubei Government. defiantly could not have asked for more, made some amazing contacts, and even better friends!

Wu Han, i will be back!
