Drawing Meets Painting

This is a very large drawing/painting (1.5M X 10M).This work is being done by Deb Hall and me. We are having spent about 18 months working on this one drawing.
We are putting a book together to show and want we are thinking and along with our comments.
As I find a lot of books are done by people who study art history. I think the viewer will enjoy reading what the artist are saying to each other and what are our thoughts are behind to the work.

Swaythling Primary School 3-D Text

I have been working with a group of students from University of Southampton on the Swaythling Primary School Prospectus for 2011. This was a 4 four week project which has come to end. I made the logo into a 3-D text Logo to make it more up to date.

Drawing Meets Painting with Deborah Hall (10M x 1.5)

Deborah and I have been working together on a project called: Drawing Meets Painting. We have a joint show in 2011 at : " The Willis Museum" in Basingstoke Hampshire (UK) Title: Space.
This work is very large! People who know me well know that I do not do small works. I like the idea of turning this drawing so it would hang on a wall and going around a whole room .
We have spent many months working on the drawing building it up in layers, I like using a fine wash although but Deborah likes to pour ink on to the paper. Deborah uses canvases that which can take a lot of water where as some paper cannot take that much. As we are using 200g "Fabriano" paper but I like to use 300g rough papers. We are using smooth it not quite right for me either, so we are working on a medium that isn't right for neither of us.
When we are work on the work we have no idea what the weather is doing outside even when it pouring down with rain.

'C' Clamp after the degree show ,' C' clamp being used in London

The day I see the 'C' Clamp change my art work for ever.

'C' Clamp furture work

I am looking at how I can take the C clamp forward I would like to make a bigger one day and mix it up with my pen and ink drawing and make them into a sculptures. Children play area would be good. I need to do some more work when the studio come on line.
if the c clamp laying down I could make cardboard's for books to be stored. I do my sculpture to be to big for the space . I like the humor and the sculpture looking dangers.
