LEGO Minifigures 63: Red Peasant

It's another peasant with a pitchfork! Wonder what he's up to?

Repairing a painted canvas (acrylic)

Oh, darn. 

No Parking featured on the front
of  the Bromley Book.

I put a screwdriver through a Very Important Painting, two days before the exhibition. The Very Important Painting is No Parking. The exhibition was the Bromley Arts Festival. No Parking is a key piece in the Bromley Project. (I was using the screwdriver to attach some hanging hardware. There was a knot - a stealth knot; it was not the most obvious of knots - in the wood, and my screwdriver slipped.)

But darning it wouldn't quite work.

I did a bit of research. I asked for advice in an online forum.
And this is what I did to fix the painting...

T-Shirts

I got a selection of t-shirts printed up (exceedingly small print runs - of one - at exceedingly small prices. I don't know how Vistaprint do it), and I thought you might like to see them. I have too many, so I could well be looking to sell a few...

The Bromley Arts Festival: a day in a shipping container

Yesterday was the Bromley Arts Festival. It was cold but dry, and the good people of Bromley turned up in plentiful numbers. Quite a few came to see me and my paintings in the shipping-container-turned-pop-up-art-gallery.

The Bromley Project book now available on Amazon

You can now buy my most recent book, The Bromley Project (a day in Bromley), on Amazon.

Ice cold in Bromley

Just a quick post to say "Hello!" to anybody who picked up a card or a leaflet at the Bromley Arts Festival today, and to tell all and sundry that - despite sub-zero temperatures (it was snowing, a bit) - the Arts Festival went very well, and I even managed to sell a few paintings, a couple of postcards, and one whole book*!

Primary Pair - SOLD

This isn't a "standard" minifigure painting. It's a bit bigger, for a start. Nearly 6 times bigger. And of course there are two figures. It was also painted (partly) with a knife, and I restricted myself to the CMYK + white palette that I have adopted recently for acrylic knife-work.
