Sad times

229. Depression is an unrelenting heavy machine.
watercolour on paper

14.8cm x 10cm

I've never had depression, so i can't do an honest artwork about it, but based on things I've read and all the stuff in the news about Robin Williams' tragic death I felt I should do an image about it.

An Image a day... for a year

The goal of this ambitious project is to produce one artwork a day for the entirety of 2014 and present each artwork here for all to see everyday.

The project will test the limits of my own creativity and the boundaries of inspiration, but that is what makes it both challenging and exciting. What I think interests me the most is the possibility of working with new mediums and techniques. For the past few years I've been working largely with traditional mediums such as paint, as my work has to be exhibited in a physical space. what is interesting about working for an online blog is that the artworks don't have to be physical, I'm very much looking forward to exploring digital and photographic techniques as well as my tried and tested traditional techniques such as paint and pencil.

Of course 2014 is the year of culture here on the Isle of Man and I'm extremely grateful to both the Isle of Man arts council and the Island of Culture for supporting this project.
