Setting up, originally uploaded by hellocatfood.

Thanks so very much to all that came to see the first B-VAC exhibition! It really was a great success.

I had a slight problem with hanging stuff up and we ran out of drinks, but for something that is funded entirely by us I think it was executed very well.

As this is my first exhibition ever (aside from the uni Degree Show) I felt really nervous about how well it’d be received, but my fears were put to rest once the event started. There’s a certain sense of satisfaction when you see someone looking at your artwork. Even if they don’t like it, just knowing that they’ve taken the time to form an opinion on it is more than satisfying.

Here’s a copy of the work I exhibited. (click to expand)

Check www.b-vac.com in the coming weeks for more info about the exhibition and future projects.

With the Insectoid performance over I thought it a good time to get on with the work for the upcoming B-VAC exhibition. It should all hopefully be done by next week. Here’s two progress shots in the meantime

Expect the usual infusion of colour!

Antonio — Sat, 10 May 2008 18:59:44 +0000

So yeah, the first exhibition of B-VAC (Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition) is taking place soon. See flyer below.

I’ve set up a Twitter account for B-VAC but not quite sure where to go with it yet. Lets call it an experiment!

Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition has an exhibition coming up, and I’m making some new artwork for it. As a little experiment I’ll be showing you the progress shots from one of the pieces. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Achieved today in Illustrator. You can also look at the Sketchbook page for more of an idea of what I’m doing.

Dragon Eggs at the Ikon

Antonio — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:44:52 +0000

There’s something about this current exhibition at the Ikon that made me want to go back to it twice. The way that the light hits all of the balls scattered across the floor reminded me of marbles or Dragon Egg Fractals. Here’s one a I made earlier

For anyone not familiar with Fractals, they’re usually created with programs like Apophysis (free/open source) or Ultra Fractal (paid) More fractals in the gallery.

The exhibition’s only on until 24th March, so get your running shoes on and see it!

If You Go Down In The Woods Today

Antonio — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:33:46 +0000

A followup to the last post. Here’s the blurb from the video caption:

Insectoid went to Earlswood and engaged in a silent, collaborative painting experiment.

We decided the basic plan beforehand, but no verbal communication took place during the 2.5 hours of painting.

The process of carrying back to the studio had an effect on some sections of the painting

Insectoid is now on last.fm, so get scrobbling!

The Art That Never Will Be

Antonio — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:26:14 +0000

I’ve been having a lot of problems with my computer recently. To add to the fact that it kept crashing my DVD writer wasn’t working, so I couldn’t back up anything! Oh noes! After a very lengthy process involving using my iPod to transfer 100GB to a computer with a working writer I thought I was in the clear to reinstall Windows. Or so I thought. I restarted my computer one day and, after checking for errors, it deleted my ‘Unfinished Projects’ folder, which included some collaboration work. Unfortunately for me this is the one folder I forgot to backup! D’oh!

So now I present to you unfinished versions of my collaborative work with Nahshon McPherson that will unfortunately never be finished.
