Painted to the sounds of Leadbelly for the exhibition Error 404 at The A Side B Side Gallery in Hackney.
The content alludes to the sequence in A Clockwork Orange, where Alex relinquishes control over his ability to self censor. This is an interesting binary opposition to me, as I feel that the news, media, and our fellow human being bombards us with tragedy and trauma; often against our better interests.
This is the result of placing a vector shape over an imported image, grouping the objects and then creating a clipping mask. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to fully understand how you delete the white space in Illustrator, but I simply copied it over to the ol’ faithful Photoshop and magnetically cropped it – thanks to the straight edges. Anyway, I’m really pleased with the result, so I think I’ll give heart shapes a try next.
Stay tuned…

Since acquiring a set of fine liners and water soluble black pens I’ve been itching to design some tattoo inspired pieces…this is it…
