Create Your Own QR Codes

I thought we could have a bit of  fun here if I followed up my previous work with QR Codes by letting the public loose on the project.

OK here is what you can do:-

Option 1.

  1. Print out the template below
  2. Randomly fill in the squares with black ink
  3. Don’t fill in the border
  4. See the QR Code at the bottom of the post for an example of how it could look
  5. Scan in your qr code drawing with an app
  6. Contact me to let me know what happens?

Option 2.

  1. After creating your own QR Code with the template scan it in
  2. Save as a 72dpi  .jpg file, dimensions = 900 x 900 pixels
  3. Give your drawing a title or leave as untitled
  4. Email the jpg file to me so that I can create a gallery of your drawings
  5. Let me know if you wish to retain copyright
  6. Provide a link to your blog if you have one
  7. Feel free to send in your children’s drawings for the gallery
  8. Have fun!

The Artist at Work

If you have recently received an art postcard courtesy of what is left of the postal service you might be interested to see the slideshow below of the artist hard at work slaving over a rubber stamp and an ink pad. It makes a change from getting covered in charcoal dust! If you would like to receive any goodies in the future I am happy to put you on my small but perfectly formed mailing list should I have another rush of blood to the head and decide to do some more mail outs. You can also contact me with any enquiries at vincentkemail-wordpress [at] yahoo.co.uk

Creative Practice – Drawing

I’ve really enjoyed doing these charcoal drawings for a new set of poster art works  – coming soon folks.  The slideshow below illustrates the various stages of the Ahmad Jamal drawing that belongs to the new group of posters which are based on a Jazz theme. I particularly enjoyed working on this drawing as it was very fast and loose, the way I like to work, and I also took care to avoid overworking the drawing so it kept the energy that I had put into it. I think overworking drawings tends to kill them the trick is knowing when to stop.
