Here's a little Festive Frankie I knocked up with pen and watercolours this afternoon to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks a million to everybody who has contributed or visited this year and made this a very enjoyable project.
My daughter Jamie, who's 12, has also entered into the Christmas monster spirit, here's her Chrimbo Creature.
Thanks to friend of Patchwork, wiec? for this fantastic Christmas present. It's a miniature Frank portrait painted with acrylics on canvas. A very merry Christmas to you wiec? and all the regular visitors here.
My neighbour and fellow blogger Mondo does a regular podcast with his mucker Piley called Podrophenia. For their Xmas broadcast they asked me to join in, choose a couple of festive nuggets and blather on about Christmas related nonsense. If you fancy checking it out for a few Christmas tunes you aren't likely to hear anywhere else this Chrimbo, go here.
Big thanks to Susie Garner for setting this as a project to her illustration students, the results have been superb. So here are the final two submissions from Mesa State College.
I am attempting to amass a large collection of portraits of Frankenstein's Monster in as many different styles and in as many different media as possible as an ongoing art project. The only stipulation is that the size is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (standard artist trading card size) and that each card has name, date, title and anything else you care to add on the back.
I welcome cards from both amateur and professional artists.
I will be leaving blank cards with instructions and mailing address in galleries, colleges, art shops, on buses, handing them out in the street and wherever else I can think of.
If you are reading this and would like to get involved, please send a portrait to:
A Patchwork Of Flesh 45 Silversea Drive Westcliff on Sea Essex SS0 9XD United Kingdom
Each card I receive will be uploaded here to produce an on-line gallery, I then hope to put on an exhibition of these cards in a gallery.
