First apologies to those who tried the Trolls & Legends festival link I posted last time ...as it failed. It has been 'corrected' so if still interested in what the event is about please try again. Links are funny things, I had posted another, related to the same event, that gives some info about myself and it 'disappeared'. Most strange ... so below my second and final attempt to post a link to it.http://www.festivalenjeux.be/Russ-Nicholson-a-l-honneur-a-la-fantastique-convention-des-jeux_a93.html
Now at the moment, I have been busy with this and that, and trying to finish off, and start, projects and it's getting a little ahead of me at the moment so apologies to any who are waiting to see 'their' commissions ... honest injun [can I write that now? if I've stepped on any toes then please forgive]. One thing that I feel is so important is to be in tune with the job [as they say] as the quality needed is always paramount where ever possible. I'd be a liar to say everything I do is my best work but I strive for it to be as good as I can manage at that moment in time and space wherever possible and, of course, where the client is happy with the result. Why am I saying this? Well, it's the reason why some jobs seem to take a little longer to complete than others ... I always want to "feel" it's right. Corny, but true.
Now one project I've recently been involved with is a film, Death ..It's A Mystery, by Martin Gooch, where I've been doing a few pieces that appear in one of the sets as background and some 'portraits' that are to be used in the opening title credits. This below is a promotion piece and the title has not yet been confirmed but I'll post more information as and when I get it.
The material for the scenes was to show the idea of pages 'torn' from a sketchbook highlighting the doodles of the inventor father. Below I've posted one of the original doodled pages and how it appears in the film.
So that's it for the moment, something a little different, now back to sorting out the few pieces for the exhibition in Mons.

Here are a couple of other pages also based on 'doodle' sketchbook pages, some of them are actually based on my own doodling.
Very interesting material, Russ. :D
ReplyDeleteDeadly word,"interesting":D
ReplyDeleteOh, no!
ReplyDelete--Fascinating. :D
It vaguely reminds me of artwork for P. K. Dick's writings, what with all of the interlinked faces in the oozy background.
Really draws my interest. :)
Double grin :D
