Secret Walls - Pre-Series Paint Jam

11th Feb 2016, The Proud Archivist, London

I just took part in the Secret Walls London Pre-series Paint Jam (that's a mouthful...) and qualified for the league!!!

12 artists were selected to battle on the night with only 8 going through to the main competition. If you don't know about Secret Walls here's the basic idea: 90 minutes on the clock, black paint markers, no sketching, two judges & a crowd vote. Think "fight club for artists" and you'll be on the right track.

In October 2014 I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to create an in-store installation and window display for Topman's flagship Oxford Street branch for the weeks leading up to Halloween. 

 

The commission was based around this illustration of mine that the Topman creative team had seen and liked. They wanted the the main theme of what I produced to be my voodoo characters, beyond that all the decisions were left up to me! I was asked to design a hanging installation to fill the store's huge atrium space, masks for the clothes mannequins, and to live paint the massive window space in front of thousands of Oxford Street shoppers. 

 

Below are some roughs, work-in-progress, and final pictures of the three sections of the commission:
