Gilgamesh...

Im back at the adademy for 2 weeks painting Gilgamesh.
Its quite a nice wee show to do and I'm on my own so there a bit of freedom.
Theres not much to it, the centre piece is the ziggurat, a series of steps that have to be painted reddy orange with a few splashes of blue.

Then theres a gauze, same colour as the ziggurat.
Its realy hard to hang a gauze on your own, it take some serious arm strength and hammer balancing!!


Then there were the back flats which were to look like a night time sky, I had painted them originally with blues and blacks, with a white spatter. However once the designer seen them, she was keen for a little white to be added in with a little more ultramarine blue.

after...

It was quite a nice wee show to come back to after Switzerland, not to tasking but still something to keep me busy with.

Spring Awakening

Ok so yes, I've just left the academy but I am back and painting the musical theatre students show, Spring Awakening.
Its my homeboy Rich (http://www.r-evans.com/) who is the designer. I've worked with him through various academy projects, most recently the DFTV grad film Paperskin.
Its a nice design that reminds me a little of petrol, a blended mix of purples, green and blues.
Plus it goes on the wood really nicely.

We got to see a little sneak preview of the show too before the packed the van and shipped everthing off to Edinburgh.

Graduation!

Bye Bye Academy....
