Photographs Walking

Walking While Drawing Book....Out of the Book

Here are some of the sketches that I have done in my Walking while Drawing Book.I have taken them out of the book by carving them into some lino so they can be viewed as one piece.

Sketchpad Work

Here is some of the work I have been doing in my sketchbook,continuing on from the Walking While Drawing Book and the roadsigns iv come across on my travels.I have been manipulating road signs and markings and photographs to take them out of their original environment and try and make them art.

Little arrows

while studying the road markings Ive become interested in arrows and what you can do with them. A woman crashed outside my house sunday night and took down 2 posts. she was ok thank god. I managed to get one of the signs before the gardai came. Iv added arrows cut out from photos i have taken of road markings. although this may seem like im going off track it tyies in with my walking while drawing sketchbook.

Road markings

While looking at the road markings i discovered that the are an artform in themselves. For the time being i am just going to work in my sketchpad figureing out how i can use or manipulate these shapes on the roads. Here are a few examples of road marking art.

Markings

Concentrating on photographs of different road markings. I like the face that the movement of traffic over them everyday has worn some of them so that they are jagged edged and patchy. I will look at other ways of recreating this.
