mathewjpallet: There's No Money!!! (ABe Yoshitoshi)


   

I found these in an old sketchbook. I'd painstakingly coverd the page with maxking tape before coeringit with Acrylic that I'd just pat on with a Palette Knife, blending the colours together & leaving a raise texture on the surface. I don't recall any purpose to doing it other than actually doing it! Although I found it aesthetically pleasing, I couldn't really find a practical use for it!

While thinking about how to edit Quantity X: Random Call for the International Manga Award, trying to decide what I should put on the cover to Stir Fried Product #3 & whether I should get my hands on a table for Bristol, I made a Facebook page for Stir Fried Product. I thought it might be useful, although not as useful as a ful page magazine advertisement, but who has the money for that sort of thing?!?

It's in an A4 sketchbook that I used ages ago, some of the pages are stuck together due to the fat that I'd used Acrylic for a double page spread. For some reason I think I also covered one of the pages with Cheese, I have no idea why I did it, other than to see if cheese could be used as a visual medium...

Not the best of choices, but you need to test these things out to know whether they'll work.

I also remember putting a toilet seat into a sketchbook at one point, although I don't seem to be able to find it. It wasn't among my other sketch books so it's possible that someone thought it was "a nasty old piece of crap" & threw it away!
