I don’t think there was that defining moment of “Im going to dive into illustration for a career” but my foundation studies in Art and Design really focused my love of drawing, and at Solent University on the illustration course, drawing was all I did. </span></span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Since I graduated in 2009, I needed a break. For the first several months I travelled around Europe - sketchbook and ink at the ready - and drew everything I could. Once I returned this love of architecture and travel fed right back into my work and I was off, drawing like a beaver on acid. My final (degree) piece was included in a local exhibition at The Bargate Gallery in Southampton, and subsequently made it into the AOI Images 34 catalogue and exhibition. From there onwards I sent out sack-loads of 'self-promotional packs' to prospective clients, magazines, newspapers etc. with some successes, and uploaded my work to any respectable portfolio website that would have me violate it. A brilliant string of exhibitions and commissions followed into 2010 from magazines to a very well-known clothing company.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Currently living in Southampton, and when not drawing away in a darkened room, I am irritating the neighbours listening to music, or out seeking new commissions.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p> <ol start="2"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What influences do you have? Have they changed over time and if so why/how? </span></span> </p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The world around me acts as my main source of inspiration. Any amusing situations I find myself, or others in, I make a note of and draw it up later on. My images are also becoming increasingly sarcastic, and I like to think this is a reaction to all of the surreal situations I find myself in, utilising these to (attempt to) portray a sense of humour in my work. The world at large takes itself too seriously – I just want to create images that make people smile. This has been my main aim all along.</span></span></p> <ol start="3"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What’s the process from having an idea and putting it to paper and getting to the end result?</span></span></p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If I’m on a commission, I will research my subject and grab as much information as I can. However if I’m creating an image for the pure joy it, I will grab my sketchbook and draw out whatever comes into my warped mind straight away. It’s then a case of importing it into my beloved mac, colouring and releasing it upon the world.</span></span></p> <ol start="4"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What piece of work that you’ve done sticks in your mind and why?<br /></span></span></p></li></ol><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I seem to have become most known for my pictures of dinosaurs and wrestling bears, which is nice. Everyone loves dinosaurs. </span></span> </p> <ol start="5"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What are you doing for the Ejectorseat arts festival? </span></span> </p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">For Ejectorseat I have been giving a wonderfully loose brief to create all the imagery needed to create promotional material, posters, and the events booklet. A brief with as much freedom as this one meant that the images delivered to Ejectorseat included dinosaurs, guitar-playing-monsters and enough bright colours to fill a rainbow, which I like very much.</span></span></p> <ol start="6"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Are there any particular preparations you will have to do beforehand? </span></span> </p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Book the day off work.</span></span></p> <ol start="7"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What do you think the benefits are of a local arts festival? </span></span> </p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The fact that is a local festival will mean bringing out all of the people in Southampton who share a passion for illustration, music, food, film, comedy, poetry and photography. Having all these nice folks in one place on a (hopefully) sunny day in Southampton will be a great way to mingle and gain inspiration from all of these fields.</span></span></p> <ol start="8"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Why is Southampton such a good place for this kind of festival? </span></span> </p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">With all of the open, green space in the city-centre parks, and the amount of ‘creatives’ that reside here, Southampton lends itself to this sort of event beautifully.</span></span></p> <ol start="9"><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As an illustrator what do you hope to get out of the festival?</span></span></p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Any exposure of my crazed scribbles is always most welcome, but more that that, the Ejectorseat brief for the festival imagery was fun! A commission with such freedom is not one to turn down. As for the festival itself, I hope it is packed. I hope that instead of going to watch the Saints game, they’ll come down to the park and mooch around in the sun, looking at pretty pictures, talking to the artists, poets and designers, taking in the local bands and relaxing in the park. </span></span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">…<span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I also hope they’ll buy my drawings so I can continue to buy the ridiculously expensive pens I am all too fond of.</span></span></p>EjectorSeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797315687992113654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954850625452784072.post-53244178380928811512011-05-16T11:59:00.000-07:002011-05-16T12:08:21.083-07:00<p class="western" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;"> <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;"><b>If you guys have been to either the City Art Gallery or the John Hansard recently, you'll know that they are currently hosting a very special exhibition of Andy Warhol's work.

<br />The first coming up is at the Bargate Gallery on Sun 19th Sept, with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/anjamccloskey">Anja McCloskey</a>’s (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/hauntedstereomusic">Haunted Stereo</a>) EP launch.

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hope you're well. We thought we'd send you a quick message letting you know about about a couple of festivals that are happening in the local area. </span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The first one is this weekend, and is Blissfields. </span><a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.blissfields.co.uk/">LINK</a>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is a boutique festival that comes back for another year to celebrate it's 10th anniversary to please local bodies. Having won “Best Small Festival” from the UK festival awards, they fancy their chances again this year. Good luck guys! Live bands playing include Dubpistols, Stereo MCs, Band of Skulls and Lanterns on the Lake. </span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The second is slightly closer to home, and in the form of Pulse Festival. Taking place at Sunny Fields farm in Marchwood, this virgin festival is set to please both foodies and music lovers alike. Some great acts including Woven Bird and Science of 8 Limbs will be there to entertain. </span>

We are still working to bring the best touring bands the world has to offer, and get in great local acts for support.</span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br />We are very happy to announce that we have been asked to host Nina <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.myspace.com/ninanastasia">LINK</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>on her intimate UK tour. She normally plays in venues of 400 plus, so this is going to be a very special event for those lucky enough to attend.<br /><br />Nina Nastasia's rare gift of a voice is an intimate, winged presence that is able to either freeze or melt your heart; that can powerfully soar and twist, or brush ultra-gently against you, suddenly summoning goose bumps. Mojo commented on its ability to "suck the air out of the room". Picking over themes of love, longing and loss, childhood, dreams and human dramas, her beautifully concise, hook-laden song writing and the spare arrangements of her band have a certain gritty, rustic charm and intensity. Simultaneously tough and fragile, her songs crackle and smolder with an intimate emotional honesty and a dark undertow.<br /><br />Nina’s sixth album Outlaster is due out on 6th June on Fat Cat (Sigur Ros, Animal Collective). Once again recorded by Steve Albini, who is one of her biggest supporters; “Nina Nastasia's 'Dogs' is a record so simultaneously unassuming and grandiose that I can't really describe it, except in terms that would make it (and me) sound silly. Of the couple thousand records I've been involved with, this is one of my favourites, and one that I'm proud to be associated with."<br /><br />Veteran BBC DJ John Peel became similarly enamored with her music. In an interview with Harper's and Queen, he called her "astonishing" and in Mojo said: "[Nina's] songs are very direct without being posy or too clever. There's an attractive air of melancholy without self-pity." Nina twice made it into his Festive Fifty: "Ugly Face" (ranked 4th in 2002) and "You, Her & Me" (ranked 13th in 2003).<br /><br />Local supports come from Winchester's Incredible Weapons <a href="http://www.myspace.com/incredibleweapons">LINK</a></span> <span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >and Bournemouth's Directorsound <a href="http://www.myspace.com/directorsound">LINK </a><br /><br />Tickets are £10adv, and available from:<br /><a href="http://seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=466592&userid" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=466592&userid</a>{3C64A901-8948-4C08-A8EB-94C4B04DECDE}&filler1=see&filler2=art-srch<br />or<br /><a href="http://www.wegottickets.com/event/78879" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.wegottickets.com/event/78879</a><br />or<br />Oxfam Music - 1 East Street, Southampton, SO14 3HE. 023 8022 4864</span>EjectorSeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797315687992113654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954850625452784072.post-33073405514365429552010-05-05T13:54:00.000-07:002010-05-05T14:00:24.666-07:00Knitting!<span style="font-family:verdana;">As part of our arts festival, we've invited some knitters to come and help us with a spot of subversive knitting in the GLORIOUS sunshine, as we add a little colour to Palmerston park...</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />The idea is to knit up strips in various colours and patterns and stitch them together to create a patch work cover that will then be sewn on to the tree. </span> <span style="font-family:verdana;">If you can already knit, then come armed and ready for action and bring any odd balls of wool you have for the cause.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"> If your not quite sure if knitting is for you, but fancy having a go this will be a great opportunity for you to try out the sport, our knitting Guru's will be on hand to show you the ropes all day so pop by for an hour or hang out and help for the whole day and make your Granny PROUD!! <span style="font-family:verdana;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Y4r8Pnc1TlvZa2evRUTbdnrPvBcULIqYFvZye-ekMxYSCxry7V0KlhAzKRWMU_kUnaOxyfJXeEXYb_NDYn41R-spZXYn0WmPbCeUTyw66XRTbCgHWa5OuMyY3fqgyETnrNbHEDsiCut7/s1600/knit-tree-255.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Y4r8Pnc1TlvZa2evRUTbdnrPvBcULIqYFvZye-ekMxYSCxry7V0KlhAzKRWMU_kUnaOxyfJXeEXYb_NDYn41R-spZXYn0WmPbCeUTyw66XRTbCgHWa5OuMyY3fqgyETnrNbHEDsiCut7/s400/knit-tree-255.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467893306234716114" border="0" /></a><a>FACEBOOK EVENT</a><br /></span></span>EjectorSeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797315687992113654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954850625452784072.post-41140682362417605042010-04-23T06:55:00.000-07:002010-04-23T07:00:16.446-07:00Website<span style="font-family:verdana;">Our website went live today!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">WHOOP!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Please visit it to see what's going to be happening on the day, and for links to those involved with everything. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It's here:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ejectorseat.co.uk/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">EJECTORSEAT</span></a><br /><p align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZwGxEc0baqKk-N9eax0xHpzWhEUB30ZhTKf2ly6M2Roy4vvQxt6Q7UBlgrKqu4EZjolfOpeuW3dj4_Qd7NU4I8DLJ1i8JgDSPo0cgLdgp5lwhkXwgjBxwr6t_3sMJN4s8T1VZQjiflcX/s1600/film+tent.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463331983611304050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 385px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZwGxEc0baqKk-N9eax0xHpzWhEUB30ZhTKf2ly6M2Roy4vvQxt6Q7UBlgrKqu4EZjolfOpeuW3dj4_Qd7NU4I8DLJ1i8JgDSPo0cgLdgp5lwhkXwgjBxwr6t_3sMJN4s8T1VZQjiflcX/s400/film+tent.png" border="0" /></a></p>EjectorSeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797315687992113654noreply@blogger.com0
