#JohnLewis Christmas decorations

See the full gallery on posterous

Managed against all odds to make it into Liverpool town centre today, to find a replacement for our fridge freezer which is dangerously close to breathing it's last...I can only visit one shop (if I'm lucky) so thank goodness John Lewis had what we needed. Plus the staff in the restaurant were lovely and helpful regarding my milk allergy...but as ever, I digress...
The Christmas decorations in JL this year are fascinating, I could gaze utterly mesmerised at them for ages as they gently moved in the air currents from the heating vents.
Shiny...

Gosh...

My 'Blue Nude' (glance up to see part of her ;) has made the final stages of the Mersey Travel 'Art on the Network' competition... Blimey!

A friendly challenge between two friends...
@artbymimulux and I exchanged photos recently to use as a starting point for some new art... I have just begun with hers as i'm finding it fascinating to use someone else's view as a starting point. Plus it's a shot with bags of potential.
It's the driveway to a friend's house...imagine having such an entrance to your home?
So what you see is- the first image I'm happy with, the original shot & the first part of the next stage...
Mimulux has a very interesting idea for a new website that would be the home for such collaborations. We each saved the stages of creation as we went in order to share them...more news when a title is chosen ;)

Multi-processed...I'm afraid I have no idea what I've used apart from the last two apps which were PhotoFX & Percolator. I keep coming back to this image...
I'm finally trying to organise my Flickr sets & get the majority of my work 'up' there, just not sure what the bulk uploading does to others 'recently uploaded' photo streams...hope I haven't flooded it??

Vote plea...

I entered the shot below in the #Dali hipstamatic contest...there're 5 days to vote...sorry for being repetitive (& competitive!) but your vote would be much appreciated.
Pretty please?

#iphoneArt #iPhone case - the missing image

Not a satisfactory solution but all I can manage right now...

Squeeeee....Zazzle have iPhone & iPad cases.
I can put iPhone art and iPhoneography on an iPhone case.
Is it very wrong to be excited about this??!

#Dali Christmas

The Walk #iphoneography

A discovery...

I've found a site in the UK that does printing on items such as purses and bags, I ordered a purse yesterday to check the quality of their printing, mentioned it on my Facebook art page and it's sold already...
Not sure if this image will be big enough to give an idea of what it'll hopefully look like...just hope the printing is up to scratch...

Waiting for mail #iphoneography

I should mail this rather than post...I know...but I'm not on my pc & it's too late so...
There's a rather marvellous new charity website in the UK called Ploink. Surf on over and see,
http://Ploink.co.uk
I said I'd think about some illustrations that highlighted how small amounts can build up and achieve great things/amounts but it seems my illustrators mojo has deserted me through lack of use, because this is all I've come up with so far.
It's a great idea for a charity donation site- does anyone 'out there' have some illustration ideas?? 

Metropolis #Dali

I've only looked at this on my phone...so not sure if when the image is larger if the reason for the title will be so clear?
But then maybe only I can see it...

Really exhausting day so I've had to admit that my inbox etc are once more victorious.

Walk with me...

Another reason to love Posterous...I hope, is that I'm writing this on the new iPhone app. Alas though there's no landscape mode...
So my very first #Dali hipstamatic shot was this;
Ah...the app doesn't work that way...it attaches like email. Logical...
Well, here's the first bunch of shots then...

#hipstamatic #dali Big Show...

When I finally managed to buy the Dali 'pack' for the Hipstamatic app I hadn't realised that all the money raised was going to the Salvador Dali museum in St Petersberg (one of the best galeries I've ever been to.) there's also a contest;

THEME :: This Is Art

From November 4, 2010 until December 2, 2010

For this traditional gallery a la Salon des Hipsta we are challenging artists to tap into their inner-Salvador! Your best surreal image could make you a bonafide artist. Filmmaker and visual artist John Waters will curate a collection chosen from the very best submissions. Contest finalists will be projected on the Dali Museum's new building in St. Petersburg Florida during Its grand gala opening the evening of 1.11.11. The top 9 images will be exhibited inside The Museum and the Best of Show winner will be flown in for the opening event. To be considered for the exhibition and Best of Show, images need to use the Salvador 84 Lens or the Salvador Dream Film.

(Click the header above for more details.)

I tried to add the live stream, but Posterous is very fussy about what code it'll let work...

Now I just need to take some shots...

#TwitterArtExhibit Update

For those not receiving the email updates from @davidsandumart 's Posterous, here's the latest news... "Upate on #twitterartexhibit: Meeting today with Library Director, head of the Childrens Department, and an emplyee of goverment art agency Punkt Ø. Discussed hanging, PR, and vernisage for opening. Date is now set for Dec 1st. Vernisage set the evening before with refreshments and maybe even wine (cool for a library don't you think?) Decided the exhibit will last two months as a permanent public exhibit. Buyer will pick up the cards the last day or be shipped to them (but pay straight away). Red dots will be used to display sold work. Name tags will be prof printed of each artist, with name, twittername, country, city, and title of work. A white wall (2.80 meters long and 2.40 m hight, will display work on both sides and side in the middle of entry, so people can walk around it. If needs be, a smaller second wall added. Punk Ø will review this process and ask for gov funding. If this does not go through, we will look for new options. Price of each card is set at 200 NOK ($34.00). Discussed what to do with unsold work as this question was raised by artists. Either auction or send back to artist were mentioned as possibilities. PR: A press relase will go out to all major Norwegian newspapers and media. This will be approached as a bigger event than just local (we will try our best!). Library Director in charge of this, while I will focus on the artists/twitter/ answering questions by mail/ helping with hanging/ and interviews etc. Two weeks until opening. Do you feel the good vibes people!! Thank you so much for being part of this. -David www.davidsandum.com *Please be patient with me regarding answering questions, as I get about 100-200 mails per day."

Postcard for #TwitterArtExhibit

@DarkSpanArtist is very efficient (and kind) at leaving comments on my Flickr photos.

I on the other hand tend to be lagging behind with most things...earlier in the week I was browsing through her lovely Flickr stream and found this I'd some how managed to miss reading any tweets about it.

@DavidSandumArt is organising a (the first) Twitter Exhibition in Moss, Norway. The post about it is here. Please read it :) all of the funds raised will be used to buy children's books for the library in Moss, where the exhibition will take place next month.

So, I have actually managed to create a postcard to send. Using the 3D paint was agonising, but I think I'm pleased with the result...here's what I did-

I will wait until Monday to post it, so that the paint is full dry.

#merseytunnel #iPhoneography

This Grade II listed building is one of the ventilation shafts for the Mersey tunnel, it also houses the control room.

The tunnel entrances, toll booths and ventilation building exteriors were designed by architect Herbert James Rowse.

The first tunnel opened in 1934 and for 24 years it was the longest underwater tunnel in the world.
In 1971 the Kingsway Tunnel opened to relieve traffic congestion.
The tunnel is circular, even though when driving through it appears semi-circular and the area below the roadway is known as Central Avenue, this was planned to house an electric tram route, then to house a gas pipe, these plans were later abandoned.
In April 2004 construction began of seven emergency refuges below the road deck, as part of a project to bring the tunnel into line with European safety standards.
In September 2009 scenes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were filmed in the tunnel.

Some interesting photos of the inside of the building above can be found here
