Launching a gallery and introducing a conundrum

  I work in pretty large scales (up to 12,000 pixels wide x 300dpi) so I have always had an issue getting my art online. It works best as massive framed canvas prints, but cost being what it is I only print on request for these.

  In the past few years I have taken to HD animation of my work to get it across (another reason I am at WITT - self-teaching will only get you so far). Using this method I can zoom into work to get the detail out, the RGB works great with the colours and the pieces  move, flow and coalesce . How I see them in my mind's eye anyway.

  Working in HD digital animation also has the advantage of making my art accessible, culminating in three shows at various "Festival of the Lights" at Pukekura Park, some gallery exhibitions, Sticky Filth use one as a moving backdrop and I've done trippy animations for a couple of nightclubs in AK and Welly.

To get around the scale issue I have included details of the works.

Enjoy.

FIRST POSTS ARE ALWAYS THE HARDEST (and lamest)

The first post is always the hardest one, but as I have to address the 'why', then maybe not.

Web Media 1 at WITT is the course and this morning we have gone through the process of setting up a blog. Pretty simple stuff. This is the post about that. Done. Sweet. Sorted.

People who know me understand that my first inclinations are towards anarchy, mischief and disobedience. Sorry.

That's why I decided to go with the 'abatnz' tag. Not:
  • sonofnihil
  • disturbedpiece
  • insanarty
  • videogrime
  • gunheadesign (a very old one, still got the logo somewhere at home)
Not this time anyway.

Here's one I prepared earlier


IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
