Baron's Court / Holborn...

Eager followers of my daring escapades may remember the photos I took of the ticket hall at Baron's Court

Well, from that photo I've developed this black and white line drawing, and another based on one of the fasicas at Holborn that have proven to be such a source of inspiration.

So, you get from this:

Note the cunning removal of the chip and pin reader and I felt the horizontal strut spoilt the lovely curve of the bracket...so some artistic license allowed...

The Egyptian head image is currently at a screen-printers waiting to be turned into something that can be printed onto t-shirts. First tester will be white on black. I'm stupidly excited that an actual physical object based on my drawings - well sophisticated tracings - may possibly exist by the end of the week.

So, as this is supposed to be an art project, what do people think so far? Would anyone actually part with money for such a garment?  Note:  I'm not actually asking people to give me money, just curious in theory as to whether they would consider it marketable quality?  If thy saw it in a shop would they pick it up? As well as t-shirts, I am also planning on getting the prints onto fabric metreage so I can make more interesting garments incorporating the images and appliques of the mummies.

And bloody hell, but my wrists ache with drawing for about three hours solid this evening.  Still, I am determined to not let having a full-time job take over my life - I am actually doing more work now in the evenings than I did in the year of  not having a salaried job to be slave too.  I feel more like myself, more able to cope and be active again.  Foolish...

In all honesty, the ticket hall is by far the more impressive visual - really stunning, I think.

I also think that some of the other Holborn images you've done would make a much better T-shirt. There's something a bit squinty and inverted about that head, but it could just be me.

I know what you mean about the squintiness, but I actually think it works...I guess we'll see what happen when the artwork comes back from the printers.

I was surprised at how well the Braon's Court pic turned out. Will pop that into the printers tomorrow as well as might get that one going before the holborn head. G suggested putting it across the pocket of a shirt as people keep their tixs in their pocket, which I thought was genius!

After teaching this evening just started on the Bank dragon, but the image is a little too fuzzy - I might have to go back and get another shot of it, or find a different dragon at another City station.

I would like to start on cutting a jacket for the mummies soon. They need to be mounted up on black and see how they look...

that would be most appreciated...
