Alan Partridge - Stencil on Canvas Video

Another piece of work that was comitted to video and beautifully edited by the very talented Paddy Rogers.

This time it is the legend that is Alan Partridge of 'Day Today' , 'Knowing me, knowing you', 'I'm Alan Partridge' and 'mid-morning matter' fame. Made using hand cut multilayer stencils and spraypainted onto canvas.

"Lynn what's that song?"

"It's the theme music to Black Beauty Alan"

"It's brilliant!"

Morrissey - Stencil on Canvas Video

A picture may paint a thousand words, so the number of words that moving pictures of a painting must paint is anyones guess.

A few weekends ago I filmed myself spraying a Morrissey Canvas and enlisted the help of my talented Bro in Law Paddy to edit it, here is the output of his hard work...

Please note the video has been sped up, I'm not quite that fast yet.

Hope you like.

Painting Mario Balotelli

Found myself with some time to try a new piece and settled on this seasons most interesting footballer, Manchester City's (at the moment) Mario Balotelli.

Thought I'd post up the steps involved incase anyone was interested, so here they are...

What you will need:

Spraypaint - I use Montana spraypaint and for this piece used 5 colours (Black, White, Steel Grey, Dark Grey, Light Grey)

Something to cut with - I use an X-acto No.11 Blade

Stencil Material - I Use 210Gsm Card

Something to spray on - I Used an 'upcycled' (Previously used and re-primed) canvas as i do with all of my first editions in this size.

Patience and persistance

First step, cut the different stencil layers, one for each shade to be used. In this piece I cut 4 main stencils but there are actually 10 seperate layers within them that will be used.

Layer one sprayed (Steel Grey Base Layer)

Layer 2 Sprayed

Layer 3 Sprayed (This is stencil one used again to overlap layer 2 and give the detail to the lower face)

Layer 4 Sprayed (Light Grey detail)

Layer 5 & 6 Sprayed (Black and white both on same stencil)

Layer 6 Sprayed (Smaller details added)

And Finished

A Celebrity Engagement Part IV

Now for (in my opinion) the best replies to my engagement requests. Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington all took time to  reply with some personal words and even a cartoon from the round headed one. In the words of Shakin Stevens... 'Lovely Stuff'
