Star Wars & Ghostbusters

This was a bit of pop art I created for fun, and hopefully maybe sell some prints of. I built the stormtroopers in 3D which was great fun, and posed them the same way as the actors are in the poster for Ghostbusters. I initially put this up on Redbubble but within 20 minutes it was removed. Apparently ILM took the hump, and Redbubble removed it. Not the kind of attention I was hoping for, but still amusing. Considering the vast amount of pop art out there on the subject of Star Wars, and the amount of Star Wars related artwork still up on Redbubble, I'm baffled as to why I was picked on. Anyway, those wonderful people at Fine Art America have happily given it a home.

You can buy prints of it here.

Je Suis Paul

My blog has been long overdue for an update. I will carry on using my blog to post updates about Gameboyz, but I’ll also be blogging about other projects I’m working on and various subjects.

Like everybody, I was stunned and horrified by the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris. I wanted to create a piece of humorous art in show of support of the importance of freedom of speech, and how we can’t let barbaric acts like these silence us. But what is freedom of speech really? Is it more than simply voicing our opinions, or does it have to go as far as to say that I’m ok with someone being verbally abusive to me or what I believe in? I have seen many people hiding behind their right to freedom of speech as a reason to be appalling abusive to people, and usually from the safety of being behind a keyboard. Of course it is not ok for someone to be abusive to you, and certainly it is not acceptable to encourage abuse towards you and commit hate crime.  

But can we justify any level of this freedom with comedy? Several times have I witnessed an almost immediate change in emotion when an article which at first was believed to be serious, was in fact revealed to be satire. It’s easy to say there should be no barriers when things seem to be in your favour and not being directed at you, but I believe there is an element of the hypocrite in us all. Even with humour we all have a point when we say enough is enough when things do not seem fair to us. There is a saying that if you don’t wish to offend anyone, then you should spend your life doing and saying nothing, but even doing and saying nothing is bound to rub somebody up the wrong way.

Freedom of speech should not be a coward’s excuse to be abusive to another person, and I certainly believe we should be able to laugh at anything, but we have a long way to go to truly accept and understand our fellow human beings. And if one day we finally do, maybe we can truly be at peace.

Interview With Casey Ryan

On Saturday 21/07/12 I had the great honour of having an interview with that splendid fellow Casey Ryan. Casey operates an Internet radio show called The Cutting Room Floor, which I’ve witnessed rapidly growing in size and popularity since its embryonic days.

Feel free to have a listen to the interview by clicking HERE.

We chatted mostly about Gameboyz, but I was also given the opportunity to chat about some of my other projects such as my upcoming Fantasy novel, Catchers Keep. While writing the scripts for Gameboyz, I have also been writing away on Catchers Keep. I will post news about my book in a new blog that I’m currently creating artwork for.

Casey was also kind enough to chat about my paintings. Vanessa-May Dreaming, and Charlie On Horse, were the two oil paintings that we mainly chatted about.

Charlie On Horse.

Both of these are painted with oils on canvas, and both are paintings of real people whom I’m fortunate enough to know. 

Prints, posters, canvas prints, framed prints and even iphone covers of both paintings and other artwork of mine can be bought from HERE.

I donate 50% of any sales made from prints of the painting Charlie On Horse to the Clanranald Trust in Scoltland.

I had a great time on the interview with Casey, and I hope it will be the first of many.

I hope you enjoy listsning to the interview as much as I enjoyed taking part in it.
