Much of the guerrila advertising will look familiar to fans of guerilla artists like Banksy and London Police.

Skeleton
I've been working on articulating a large skeleton drawing, this entails drawing individual parts of the skeleton and hinging the joints together in some way.
Since drawing on a daily basis I have increased my speed and am getting the results I want on a more regular basis. I'll post more images and info' later.
when I was about 7 years old I created an articulated cardboard figure of a local policeman from where I lived in Chiswick, west London. I won a small prize from the local council and it was that object that I remembered the other day which is leading me down the path of creating a posable drawing.

I bought this plastic human skeleton from ebay. It stands 5 feet 8 inches high (175 cm).
The skeleton was made in China, I presume it was moulded from the skeleton of a Chinese man, you can see it is a male skeleton due to the narrowness of the gap in

the pelvic bones.


Colour
I've introduced colour to some of my drawings. Actually, its not the first time, I just hadn't posted info' relating to colour work before. I use a simple light watercolour wash. So the work remains a drawing rather than a painting. At this time I don't want to go off into the world of painting, I feel that would require a commitment that I am not willing to give to that discipline, at least not at this time. I want to feel free enough to go off on a 3-dimensional path or installation path at a moments notice and I am nervous that painting would anchor me to the 2-dimensional.
At this time I don't know how colour will fit into my work, I am hoping I can use it to develop another dimension to the recent work I have been creating.

Exhibition
I'm waiting for information on the space I am organising for a group show later this year. I'll post more information as I receive it.

Labels: bones, draw, drawing, drawings, skeleton, skull

I'm looking for artists that are interested in exhibiting in Finsbury, London in November/December this year in a 4,000 sq ft warehouse.
I've already had a few confirmations. If you would like to know more contact me.
I'll be ading more information here: www.urban-artists.co.uk

I found this light pen animation from PIKIPIKA a lightning pen project.
There are some great animations on video.
Animation is an obviously highly effective way of introducing movement to drawings.

The Guerrilla zoo show went well. I hung the skeleton drawings I'd created and did the on-site drawing diary.
I've added a few images from the show to my site. I'll take a few more pictures of the work tomorrow in clearer light.

I am showing some work tonight at the Guerrilla zoo art happening in South London.

I'll be displaying an drawn orthographic projection of a human skleleton, I'll also be doing some live drawing, creating a diary of the nights objects.

I've created an ebay store and added some of my drawings.
I'll be adding more work over the next few days and will continue to add drawings as I create them.

My next exhbition is on Saturday, I'll be doing some live drawing on-site so I hope you bring some objects with you for me to draw.

I've added some new drawings of skulls that may feature in the net Guerrilla zoo event.

I'll be adding some pictures of full skeletons in the next few days.
