Midsummer Night's Madness

Hi all, this is sneak peak of what I am working on at the moment. These are the some of the characters I have been modelling for a chess set I am making for the 'Mid Summers night Madness' show at the Strychnin gallery in Berlin in June.
I have made these out of a mix of Polymer clays and plan to cast them out of glass resin for the final set.
I will be doing 3 other pieces for this group show, so look back soon...
Cheers!

The Snapshot Series

'Snapshot no. 1

'Snapshot no. 2'

Snapshot no. 3'

Hi all.

I thought I'd post a sneak peak (in galleries within the next week) of the new prints that I've been working on over the last month or so, a project of moments in time that go back as far as 20 years, saved up especially for this series. The Snapshot series is a set of 3 prints, each one based on a mental snapshot in time that I have experienced personally or that visually created a long lasting effect.

These are prints designed to work together thematically and tonally, although they will also go on sale separately. They are 19.5cm x 28cm and printed onto Hahnemuhle archival fine art paper with an edition size of 100 of each. The Edition number is higher than some of my previous pieces in order to make them affordable for all to purchase as a threesome, as that is how they were designed to be viewed. Each print is presented mounted on black card protected in a plastic sleeve, signed and numbered. For enquiries regarding purchasing and stockists go here.
Enjoy.

'Why do birds suddenly appear?' Sculpted Model

I have been wanting to try turning my flat graphics into sculpture for some time now. I started off with a few easy characters to see what the process involved as I hadn't even touched clay since I was at school. They turned out better than I thought so I moved onto small sets.
This one stands about 28cm high and is made from a mixture of modelling clays and then hand painted and cased in an old clock dome. I really enjoyed the process involved in this type of modelling and I plan on exploring this medium way more and see what I can do.
If you are interested in this piece it is currently on display and for sale at Strychnin Gallery in Berlin, Germany.

'Cabaret Baby' is now available at The Red Door Gallery. This is a high quality Giclee print printed with K3 inks onto archival Hahnemuhle German etching paper. The edition is limited to 10 prints only, each stamped signed and numbered including a certificate of authenticity.

There is only a few left so get in quick. Contact sarah@edinburghart.com

Hello. Hope you all had fantastic Christmas and New Year celebrations. I had a great time, thanks to family, friends and festive cheer. I even got to fit in a bit of a break, which is just as well cause it's all go again now that its January. I have got loads of exciting offers and projects lined up for the first half of this year, you'll be seeing lots of new work and a special project that is unlike anything I have tried to date, so be prepared for something a bit different. Anyway, nose back to the grindstone, or the sketchbook in this particular case. Thanks for all your support last year, all the best for 2009 to you all.

This is a new piece titled 'Believe Nothing' which I created for New Sugar magazine.

It will be released as a very limited edition Giclee print. If you are interested in reserving a print or would like more info you can contact Peter at seymour.info@gmail.com. Otherwise i will put up a post when it is available in the galleries.

Christmas wish list decorations

These are some pics of the christmas decorations I made for The Red Door galleries decoration exhibition.

I had found 10 little gold boxes in Paris a year ago and had put them aside thinking they would be great for a project.

I wanted to design a decoration that would go on the tree every year and would be passed through the family. So the result was a miniature wish list book incased in a customised gold box. The books are totally hand made with hard covers and are perfect bound with 30 pages.

There are only 6 of these for sale and will be at The Red Door gallery for the next month.

Cabaret Baby

This is a piece I have been working on for the last month. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I think it's the first time my female characters actually look like ladies and not bricks.

Anyway it's is a commissioned piece that will be used as a tour poster for one of Stephan Deazley's music productions coming up next year. I'll post the actual poster when it's all finished.

I will also be releasing Cabaret Baby as a limited edition art print very soon. There will be only 10 so you will have to get in fast. If you would like more info on the print contact me at seymour.info@gmail.com

This is the the flier for my latest solo show at The Red Door Gallery in Edinburgh. Was an great space to exhibit with amazing stone walls and heaps of character. Visit my myspace site for other pics of the show and the full collection of work and go here for close ups of the prints.
