I like that someone painted this and they displayed it in the art materials section of my local Clas Ohlson store. It was oil on canvas- very brave!
So tempted to touch. I think its some kind of crazy Macbeth thing going on. Nice one Clas.

GOOGLE STREET VIEW PAINTINGS UPDATE
NEW WORK
125x125cm, Oil on Canvas.
I'm really enjoying working on canvas again. I do miss working on board but for sheer scale and transport it was getting impractical. This new piece is another of the Google Street View series.

CRT LOVE III
MORE CRT
This year I have not been travelling around so much, so apologies for the lack of CRT findings. Here are a few of the better ones I have spotted recently. I like that I had named this series CRT LOVE and then there is a little love heart on one of these monitors.

REVERSE PAINTINGS
LANDSCAPES
Just and idea I had about playing around with old landscape paintings. Reversing the paintings has completely changed the composition. I like the idea that Sisley could have sat outside with his easel and painted the bridge back to front. We have seen these paintings so many times that it is taken for granted as an accurate depiction. This kind of mind messing is right up my street-the kind of thing I have been doing with my Half-Life paintings.
I guess it ties in kinda with what Glenn Brown was doing by meticulously recreating those Auerbach paintings, but instead making them as flat as possible. Or somewhat similar to Richard Prince when he photographed photographs. I love self referential art. Art about art is the best.
This work probably wont go further than this blog. There is no point in me reproducing these paintings back to front. But as images they are certainly very striking. Perhaps I'll continue on the series with some attempts at other paintings. Self-Portraits seems to be a given. Watch this space.
Prizes for anyone who can name the artists!

GOOGLE STREET VIEW PAINTINGS
NEW WORK
Some new Google Street View Paintings.
I had the idea to start these a while ago but I am finally getting around to making some progress. Glad to be painting on such a big scale again. The first one is needing a few glazes to get the depth of colour right and the second one is up on my wall at the minute. I have also begun a third. Watch this space!
