Absolute things of beauty.
This African wood statue. I do not anything about it. Bought it from the widow of my friend.
She gave me this that she painted. Oil on canvas.
With a real signature? ![]()
Hangs on the wall in the Kabin
This one hangs on the wall in the lounge…
(Sorry about the reflections)
I like a couple from the new release, but we’ve run out of wall space…
Nice. I made the ‘Tracks’ pic for a friend who’s very keen on the Dylan pics but balks at the prices!
However, more Cambridgeshire than Nashville skyline…
Nothing wrong with the Cambridgeshire skyline. I wake up to it every morning ![]()
“Plagiarism On The Tracks”?
Hardly. It’s a graphic I’ve produced from my own photograph!
And could be Bob just saw my Orton Mere photos posted somewhere some years back and used those to influence his own dreamed versions…
And very good it is too! MrD’s borrowed, stolen and adapted all his musical life, and as he remarked a very long time ago”open your eyes and your ears and you’re influenced”.
Hehe
Pen & ink.
A Xmas present from Daughter#1, commissioned from a talented graphic artist and long-standing family friend, Liara K Crane, who met Zebby many times.
Bought myself a UV lamp. Way easier to practice and vary exposure times, none of this more natural sunlight guff! Still early days but I can see that while a interesting image is achieved ‘easily’ enough, it’s down to practice and experience (and patience) before you get what you need. Get the old stopwatch out for the next ones…
Some Dublin Cyanotypes.
Key I’ve discovered from these and others now is to get the negative right in the first place, need a bit more dodge and burn, just like the old days!
These have only just been washed and fixed. Blue will develop more over 24 hours.
Incidentally, these are a couple of the negatives..
The Guinness building one was made without turning it into a negative first.
Nice example of English bond there. I wonder if they got a crew of English immigrants to put that building up. ![]()
There a lots of brick textile mill around Lancashire, most are architecturally very impressive.
I’m amazed that brickies could work at those heights and that scale.
Impressive and dangerous.
