... continued from Jan 23rd

Move house, job hunt, and generally take on more than you can chew while in the process, letting people down... and then finish the piece.

For the long suffering, Richard. 2 more to make now.

Envelope Artwork Triptych WIP Part 4

Go over the scruffy paint bits with pastel blocks, accidentally spray the work with craft mount instead of fixative, take a photo.

Part 4:

Correct mistakes.

Envelope Artwork Triptych WIP Part 3

Draw a rough outline of a desired shape in black pen and then splat acrylic over it. Smear the paint where necessary with a palette knife. While the paint is drying, shave your head and listen to A Guy Called Gerald.

Part 3:

Throw paint at it.

Envelope Artwork Triptych WIP Part 2

Find a well ventilated area, like a back garden, and hope the neighbours don't call the police as you stand in the dark with a load of spraycans, in a black hat and hoodie, with a torch in your mouth.

Part 2:

Spray the envelopes.

Envelope Artwork Triptych WIP Part 1

I have been commissioned to make 3 artwork envelopes for someone, so I suggested I link them as a triptych so they can be displayed on the wall together.

A friend saw my last envelope design when it was half finished and said they liked watching it develop, so I've decided to post Work In Progress shots for this one.

Part 1:

Tape the 3 6.5" x 9" brown post office envelopes to an old B&Q shelf with a 1.5" gap between each.

The person who reserved Envelope Z is un-contactable, so I laminated it and left it in a Manchester city centre back street. Free to anyone if they want it.
