Love hate relationship with Photoshop

I love it. it does everything i need it to. But im starting to think its limiting the way i work. I saw my sister create something on paper yesterday and it had so much life in it. The more i work digitally the less life im starting to feel in the work.

Well see if it changes anytime soon.

Anyway. heres something im working on.

Big Job In Moscow

I probably should have Posted this up as soon as i came back but its been workworkwork!

We had a big commission handed to us after the show last May at southwark studios. Someone came and saw the giant wall that we did for journey from east to south and wanted something similar for their company.

The Company was to my surprise a Russian investment bank named ATON Investment. BIG Players apparently in the whole world money game :S I don't know nothin bout investments, but they offered to pay for a trip to Moscow/Russia.... Why not?

IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE FREE-STYLE WE DID AT SOUTHWARK! it was its own beast.... Even though we had a plan[which we had been planning months prior], Drawing 23 years of the company and the worlds history all in proportion and in-line with a chart that they gave us WAS NOT EASY.  No one thought we'd get it done in time but with hard work, a little bit of frustration and sushi dinners supplied by our wonderful/beautiful assistant[and the one who eventually paid us], we got this commission done on time. On time being 30 minutes before people came in from work over their holidays.

30 Meters long eeeeeash! Tatiana focused on the type and characters, I handled the lines and the construction/ composition, and Maksim was our special effects artist. he had a keen eye for detail. Dream team.

Moscow Mural from Beddow n Battini on Vimeo.

50+ it took us. Us being fellow Beddow n Battini member Tatiana Alisova and Moscow resident Max, a mural artist who prepared all the paint and markers for us days before. We had no idea it would take us that long, but it was definitely a welcome learning experience.

Its funny, when i started this blog back in foundation i never really imagined myself doing as many murals as I have been. The first major thing i did was a mural... it figures.

Boxpark Exhibition went down a hit!

I work at a place called GameBoxpark, which specialises in Xbox Games. They asked me to create an exhibition for the brand that will go up for a month. So I got 10 artists together in a project celebrating the past present and future of XBOX.

Had a lot of fun creating this piece. Derek Yates [my old Tutor at camberwell] made me laugh. He said "You finished it!" LOOOOL..... i never finished things in Uni

Anyway, the piece is about two future XboxOne games called Titanfall [the most anticipated game of Next-Gen] and Ryse: Son of Rome [one of the least.... but hey, romans verse Robots!]

The show went really well. One of the best ones Ive had. I guess its because I didn't have to deal with any of the financial stuff. This allowed me to concentrate on the creative side of thing, which included finding the right artists to work with an working on something your excited about. 

We also made AWESOME T-shirts from the work we made thanks to YrStore. 

The Creative Gamer Gang Wearing their artwork! which you can buy from us :D

I feel like this year has been an increadibe year for my creativity and my career path, and it feels like it will continue. Thank God for everyday! and I hope to continue to learn and grow in this Practise of illustration, Animation and Storytelling!

Make sure you get to the Exhibition at Boxpark in Shoredtich  2-10 Bethnal Green Road London. Check out all the other artists work!

?WAT! Painting in Cophenhagen?

We were looking for some legal spots in the city of copenhagen cause apparently danes are super serious when it comes to being caught spraying graffiti... i dont profess to be a graffiti-artist but Cans are Fun and we managed to find a spot where a Railway company[the people who hate the Graffiti crews the most] were organising artists from around the world to paint a designated area.... Without permission from the officials we found a spot on the same wall. The artists were cool, lets just hope the officials were to.
