So I spent lastnight from 8pm till 6am this morning painting the walls of the the Barbican’s Foyer in preperation for the Rat’s Lair show/exhibition.
Here are a few progress shots, mainly uploaded as I need the practise using Wordpress after years on Blogspot…
Ok, so you may remember me mentioning this upcoming project on my previous blog, if not, here’s a re-cap…
For the majority of last month, I’ve been working alongside music producer ‘Mikey J’ on a really exciting project in conjunction with what I can only describe as an urban dance version of ‘The Pied Piper’ which deputed earlier this year at The Barbican to critical acclaim.
This December It’s back and I’ve been brought on board to recreate 12 illustrations/paintings to feature in a new audio/visual soundtrack that acts as a prequel to the ‘Pied Piper’ entitled ‘Rat’s Lair’. Confused? I was too at first but it’s shaping up to be a really interesting cross media project, and the first time I’ve been involved in producing sequential artwork since my comic ‘No Strings’ back in 2005.
I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve been up to and can let you now know that I’ll be exhibiting the works to coincide with the opening night of the play on the 11th of December. The work will be on display along with a big mural painted by myself in the main foyer on the Ground floor until December 22nd.
Sneak peek…
