Bar Release Painting Day

Skeleton Cru & Gallery 26 painted graffiti art on the beer garden walls of Bar Release in Worthing on Sunday 27 March 2011.

The Cru started painting at about 12 pm and continued until 10 pm.  It was a great event with a fabulous atmosphere.  It was the first time I had seen a whole project - from white wall to completion carried out.  I was amazed by the amount of layering that takes place in the creation of these works and by the idea of 'sketching' with a spray can!

 

Much of painting was done using fluorescent/UV paint and as it got dark the colours and vibrancy really began to show

Also to come - 12 hours in time-lapse photography - one shot every 2 minutes.

Zimbabwe Evening

I was asked to photograph this awareness and fundraising event at Maybridge Community Church.  It was an interesting and informative evening and raised £1997 for Tearfund

Remembrance 2010

Yesterday we held the Remembrance Community Teas.  It was a really nice afternoon, attended by around 50 or so of the older folk in the Maybridge area.  We held the service and then served sandwiches, tea and cake.

We built our own portion of Flanders Field indoors, and planted poppies as an act of remembrance.  Also as part of the service, my daughter, Grace read a tribute to Eileen Nearne, who was my mother-in-laws cousin.
