Recently i have been asked to take part in a few nice projects and got a lot of stuff sorted, i was asked to do some work for a charity (the Swindon trauma group or STG) and i have recently finished and delivered two pictures based on the Baedeker raids of the second world war and i was absolutely thrilled by the response and they are auctioning then on the 13th of July.

   I have also just had a picture put up for the draw to explore project by fiasco designs, visit fiascodesign.co.uk/DRAWTOEXPLO… for a look, it is a project in which multiple artists have done postcard sized pictures using a template and pens/ pencils and crayons to create a variety of different themes from the same starting point.

   I will have a few commissions coming up god willing and update will be up at @daveyr13.

   Oh and My good friend Keith has an exhibition up at Bolton called a new conversation from the 16th of june til the 28th of August and it will be good : ) t.co/7TS3YDvm

I have had a very busy month this month so far, I currently have 2 exhibitions going on, 7 pictures up at the Grange drive community center and my big collaborative piece has been shown for the previous week, as well as poetry readings and talks on the background of the piece.

I also have 4 more Eyeless's making it up to 13! i think that project is working out awesomely and hopefully quite a few of those will get to travel. It'll be awesomely cool to see the guys out and about. Hope everyone likes them!

I have had a very busy half month so far in April, as well as being offered some exhibition space in Bolton, which should be interesting i have been working on a few things.

    I have got to the final stages in the 'English riot' picture, i am currently graffitti'ing and paintballing my own painted wall and its looking awesome, its even more fun as the 'wall' is 3ft high so i can have some fun with it and i'm digging out some previous stencils and re-using them in different ways, and as the title suggests monster John is getting a much better part in my street art projeckts.

    My other main projekt is With the eyeless's, i made them out of some off-cuts i salvaged off my dad, i'm gonna use them for a street art projekt so instead of graffitti on walls (which is permenant) i'm gonna be putting them places and make a collage out of the resulting pictures and maybe get some other photographers involved, make it a community thing.

   I haven't had a chance to work on Chilli cats latest foyay, but it'll happen: )

Since my last post which was less than encouraging i have turned alot of stuff around, obv's the tag worked out all right ( as the background of my new character chilli cat) and i'm currently working on the next picture featuring him, and a character called monster John (thats all i got on him, i'm looking forward to finding out if he's good,or bad like Swiper!) but i've got lots planned for them, I've also found out that '94 spray paint is not only cheaper than what i'm currently using, it also smells like sweets and thats never a bad thing, i doubt they would be great sweets but its a lot nicer when painting with them.

   I've also made miles of improvements with my painting for the poet and artist exhibition, which is good 'cos i've got literally a month to finish it and i'm feeling the time!

Todays failures

1 min read
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm, hopefully thats true 'cos today has been the failure part. I'm leaving out burning my arm, 'cos that sucked but has nothing to do with painting!
  
  I had an idea for a tag which i wanted to try out and and so i spent ages making a stencil and getting it all ready, but when i went to lay it all down the board was to small (although i didn't think it was that ambitious) and i cap which i was told was a skinny was aktually super fat and made such a mess. The stencil turned out ok.
