The Art Of Luke.

sorry it's been a while...

2010-04-05T22:36:00.000+01:00

I haven't blogged in so long! I'm very sorry for anyone who usually come onto my blog! I have been quite busy, and to be honest, lost my motivation! But I'm back!... Wonder for how long...

Anyway, I was walking home today, and the sky looked so grey and dull, and I walked past an old telephone line with two birds sat on it. I don't know why but this image looked really interesting, so when I got home, I painted from my memory.

ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 35cm x 25cm

Photography from this week.

2009-11-03T20:00:00.002Z

Here is a random collection of photography I have done this week!!
I hope you enjoy it...

This is the view from my bedroom window at night. The road is always busy! I left the shutter on the camera open for longer to create this effect.

For my college art project I am doing about "Conflict". So to begin with I have thought of all different types of conflicts.

In these photos it's basically conflict on a plate.

... We drove on the grass.

Ok, so that's all the best from the photography i've done this week! Don't forget you can comment this blog post, you don't need to sign up or anything, so feel free.
Also, go ahead and leave me a voice comment! (The application to the right) ... You can record my calling in with your phone, or from your computer, so give that a go!
It would be great to hear some of your feedback.
Take care, Luke.

Just a random edit for yous//

2009-11-03T16:02:00.000Z

I haven't updated my blog in a while as i've been busy, so here's a little edit for you...

atomic vision. video art. (CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES)

2009-10-21T17:42:00.005+01:00

In this video you see my eye, with atomic bomb explosions in the background. Although these images were filmed long before I was even born, I still feel fear when seeing them. This video shows the emotions through from just one eye.
I'd like to know how this video makes YOU feel. Please leave a comment on this post.

Family shots.

2009-10-20T19:12:00.002+01:00

for Randomness sake! (The green glasses)

2009-10-16T21:06:00.001+01:00

Sometimes... I do things just because I can.
It's for Randomness' sake!
So tonight, when I was sat here bored, I decided to do something I would regret, and that is...
Dip my sun glasses into some green wall paint.

It was fun.

And in the end, I had a very artistic looking pair of glasses!
"Most of my work is influanced by myself."

They are now on display on my bedroom wall.
This is only the start of my "green series". Tomorrow I will paint my brain.

NO HATE.

2009-10-07T00:02:00.000+01:00

NO HATE
Acrylic on canvas.

In this painting, the black represents negative emotions, like hate, sadness, anger etc. And the colour represents positive (the opposite).
This painting is to persuade "No Hate"... And the word HATE breaks as it falls into the positive side. The word No is also seen to be a negative word, and stays intact in the black (negative) side.
The painting is to remind you to stay happy, and don't let negative emotions like hate and anger take over you. You should break these emotions like the colour does in the painting.

This painting also has quite a personal meaning to me, as I used to hate a lot of things and people. I hope you like it, and I hope it makes you realise that hating is stupid and should be broken.

I will upload proper photos of the painting tomorrow!
So please come back to see them.
Thanks, Luke.

Photos From Today.

2009-10-01T20:36:00.000+01:00

Here are a few random photos from today that I thought I'd share with you.
I'm currently at the begining of a new project titled: Conflict Within A Conflict.
Details of THAT will be on my blog soon, so keep an eye out!
So for now i will just update on randomness that I hope you enjoy!

This photo here was taken from a back-ally in Oxford city centre.
I'm hoping to get someone to model for me, as I think this background would be prefect for a fashion shoot!

This next photo is taken from in Oxford's covered market. There are many things there you wont find in highstreet shops. My friend took an interest in these plant blubs!

As you may know, Oxford is famous for it's history of bikes!
You see them all over the place:

That's all for today, but dont forget to bookmark this blog and keep an eye on it for my upcoming project "Conflict Within A Conflict".

Art & My Life.

2009-09-29T15:08:00.000+01:00

For as long as I can remmeber, I have always Loved art!
I've always been doing creative things...
And I know that it's what I want to do with my life.

Here is a sculpture I made when I was about 13/14.
I have improved a lot since then, but I thought I'd just show you.

I think there is loads of talent out there that just isn't used or noticed!
And if you think you are good at any arts, then I suggest just going for it, and showing everyone what you've got... Because being good at art is a gift. And so many people would dream to be as good as you.

A usual day for an Oxford Boy.

2009-09-29T14:41:00.000+01:00

Here are some random photos I have taken whilst just being out and about in Oxford.
Some of you might think they're nothing special, but to someone from the other side of the world they may seem unusual.

Noone listened to this man as he read the bible...
We Just don't care.

I found this mirror AMAZING! It's frame is made from magaziene pages!
I want it...

This post isnt very artistic I know...
But the next ducky adventures will be coming soon!

Paint blobs

2009-09-15T18:08:00.000+01:00

I had this really weird idea today... to make a town out of paint blobs, and then destroy it using a piece of string.
This is how it went:

Paintings.

2009-09-14T13:32:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone!
Here is a photo of my completed painting (I may do some slight adjustments as I always notice things wrong with my paintings)
It has no theme or meaning, it's simply a design, to make any room look more interesting... and a little bit "funky"!
It's an acrylic painting on a 50cm x 50cm canvas, if anyone is interested in buying this piece, please contact me on lukeisblue@gmail.com for more pricing and more details and I will get back to you.

Also for sale is this acrylic on 30cm x 40cm (approx) canvas.
The painting is from the outline of two paint pallets. Some say they see a face (in yellow). What you see is up to you.

...

I need YOUR help!
I need some ideas for a theme to do a project on...
and I want you to decide, what do you feel strongly about? or what do you think would make a good art piece?
Leave a comment in this blog with all your ideas!

Please subscribe to my blog! I appreciate every bit of input and support from everyone! Thank you, Luke.

Summer's at an end.

2009-09-10T18:02:00.000+01:00

Summer is at and end everyone! :(
So I decided to go out and take some last shots of summery things.
Here are just a few. I also had a retro style theme, thats why some have rounded corners etc.
Please leave a comment, and subscribe to my blog and follow me! Thanks a lot, Luke.

Mixed Emotions.

2009-09-07T12:26:00.000+01:00

Here is a self portrait to express my mixed emotions.

In the original photo, two emotions appear to be present at the same time,

you do not notice this when looking at the original face (in orange)

I have made it more clear by dividing the face to split the different facial expressions.

You can tell which side is happy, and which side is sad, but to make the image more interesting i have also represented these different emotions through colour.

Sadness - Blue

Happiness - Yellow

This piece is to show you my confusion and mixed emotions in every day life.

Introduction.
