Catching Up On Stuff

…did this ages ago….

…already posted, I know, but now it has a frame around it…

…and around the time it was completed,I photocopied it a bunch of times and did this with it….

..don’t go looking for it as it’s already been overpainted by some graf addict with a three letter tag…

….but fun whilst it lasted….

….had a bunch of copies left over…

…so I cut them up and did this….

…which ultimately led to the circled skulls I posted a month or so back…

…mmmmm…decoupage….

…(…the warning sticker visible on the base of the skull is the one that comes with every papier mache skull…in which the manufacturers claim that if you can fit in your mouth you will choke…)…

Circles

….within circles….

…on circles….

….on a circular base….

….(so over painting the circles)….

…(but have one more piece on the go and two more in the planning stage)…

….(circles!)….

Circled Skull Purple

…last colour of the rainbow…

…last skull of the batch…

….only two more sets planned at this stage….

….(only?)….

Circle Skull Indigo

….the name of the base colour is paua…

…(pronounced pau-uh dear foreigners)

…(this one is my favourite)…

…(or maybe it’s the red one)…

Circled Skull Blue

…blue blue…

…circled blue…

…that’s the colour of my room…

…where I will live…

…in circled skullers….

…(saxophone solo)…

…(sorry Dave)…

Circled Skull Green

…number four in the series of seven….

…(damn…that last shot is blurry!)…

…(but illustrative…..right?)….

Circled Skull Yellow

….you know there’s going to be one of these for all seven colours of the rainbow, right?….

…just as well you’re sitting comfortably….

….could be a long (colourful) week…

Circled Skull Orange

…because…

…once I’d done the red one I had to see what all the colours looked like….

…actually, all I could do at this point of my covid journey was paint circles and I had a bunch of these skulls….

…so…

Circled Skull Red

…it’s a skull covered in circles….

…the background colour is red…

…painted in instalments whilst under the influence of post covid fatigue….

…(getting better every day)…

…(but still painting circles)…

People Often Ask Me

…what’s with all the cardboard skulls, Tony?…

…(yeah, you’re right…what with covid, lockdowns and long, I ain’t seen people for years)….

…(do you think it shows in my work?)…

…(all things considered, those were all rhetorical questions)….
