Areas of pubs I find really evocative.
I enjoyed using gouash paint for the first time too. The top image is the snippets of conversation I retrieved from the sound recording below. I did a few of these and then later layered them and had a play with the colours to try and represent the, sometimes confusing, but mainly atmospheric chatter and hubbub you encounter when being in a pub.

Personal Project - Write my own brief....
......At first the idea of this was out of this worked exciting and as usual had too many ideas bubbling away and couldn’t decide on one thing, resulting in me YET AGAIN not developing my idea till the last minute. All I knew for sure was that I wanted to look at printing and playing around with different papers, layers and transparencies. I wanted to explore the idea of creating an actual book or series of printed images that could layer up, a lot like the digital layering that can be done on Photoshop. Artists like the infamous Guilbert and George use this transparent layering effect on a lot of their work and I wanted to see if it could created using acetate and tracing papers rather than just cut outs and collages, produce a physical and interactive book, almost a game (again, thanks to a tutorial for the game idea).
The context and content of my work dithered between just generally looking at characters around Brighton that I had got to recognize and some of them, get to know, but after many tutorials my confidence for this idea dwindled and was made aware (rightfully so) that the characters on their own were without context, and i didn’t want to make a “come to Brighton and meet its freaks” sort of work and I just couldn’t settle on an idea.
I always want to develop characters that I had made up/met in the past, always inspired by real people, just with a few exaggerations, but without them having a place to be was the key to the puzzle. After a tutorial with Dave and Claire the obvious FINALLY became apparent, where do most of these people reside? PUBS!!
The layers of smell sound and movement that these (often ancient) places hold that create an ethereal imprint that you can almost taste when you enter them.
Through my childhood I spent an awful lot of time in pubs. I grew to loved the smell, lighting, chatter, pub cats, dogs, sugary drinks in glass bottles, crisps, worn out Turkish patterned carpets, the old fashioned decor, but mainly the people and the laughter.
At 17 I left college to work and eventually run our local village pub for nearly five years, always sketching characters and scenarios (I wish I could find some of those sketch books now) but a few of these beings have traveled with me through the nicotine stained, beer fly ridden mists of time, mutated and developed. They have become “layered” with further meetings of more and more wonderful folk who I have met in pubs. I also came to realise that pubs can also be very sad places full of lonely pissed people, that after working in them for a while started to taint the original idiology. A busy pub can be a place of fun and excitement but after ten years of working in them they started become places of agitation stress and a alce where pri ke who wanted to complain about the shinyness of the glasses to the wetness of their cappachino. When pubs started doing cappuccinos I left. Having now been out of the pub trade now for about five years my fondness of them has returned and the experiences mold into each other.
I wanted to look at the imprint that people make on a place in a very visceral and sensory way; the chatter, smells, moments; worn out carpets, the holes in a dart board the knackered bar stool upholstery of the most boring man in the universe, Dave Stamp at the Horse and Groom.

As I start my personal project about pubs and their peoples I dipped back into one of my favourite books about two of my favourite things. Pubs and walking (and madness and murder)

Final print of “The hidden Meaning of Stuff and Things”.
I chose the brown hard Manilla for the Cover as it reminded me of teak stained eighties furnature.
I chose the square format simply because it pleased me.
