#Livedraw World Cup - Day Five

Well so far Gary Lineker has been on telly just this night, is saying "this is the first social media World Cup" and wahoo! Maybe he is right. For instance, a football strikey man named Mario Balotelli became the first Footballer Artist by sticking his own face into the Italy team page in the Panini book over all the other players'. Then he posted a photo on Facebook. Richard Prince, eat your own shorts etc. You can't get any better art than that. I will do an artwork based on this artwork tomorrow. Oh yes. Probably.





Today I missed Germany v Portugal, and watched the Iran v Nigeria match which was incredibly dull. But that I quite liked that. Here are some men talking about it in space:

Here's a spooky bit where they have become ghosts:

Adieu mon braves, for it is late and I've some varnishing to do.
I'm still chuffed I've sold some pictures including that one of Adrian Chiles. Chiles! Someone's going to get a picture of Adrian Chiles. Perfect.

#Livedraw World Cup - Day Four - SOLD



Hello there #livedraw people and art football interface fans.
Day four of football found Raw Art fairly fatigued but still with drive and promise.
France vs Honduras proved to be a thrilling match of kicked balls, kicked players, yellow cards and fellas fellas everywhere. Arguing. Big, Burly. Looming and hulkish.
Here is a painting – France's Benzema scored twice and here he is near the ball. And near Palacios who's got his kicky feet out.

SORRY THIS HAS NOW SOLD


Watch this space for Van Persie's header picture, coming later today.

 Last night's match was certainly bloody mental and the time went quickly. 90 minutes is not that long when you have a whole load of paint splodged in front of you. Let's see what happens later....

World Cup #livedraw News

#liiiiiiivvveeedraaaaaaaawwwwwww!!!!


(quick sketch on back of envelope)

After the massive excitement, the shabby kerfuffle and the restless-legs expectation of the last #livedraw in May '14 where, as you know, I drew each Eurovision entry in real time – comes new new new #livedraw.

An event in itself.
A merrily-charged thing.
An art thing.
A double-screen, modern-pot of classic hyper artistry mixed with...
...football.

Yes - for however long it lasts, during some [if not most] of the games, depending on will and the amount of gin left in the cupboard, I will attempt to #livedraw some paintings of the WORLD CUP TV coverage on canvas board. From the depths and dark schoboons of a rather messy flat I will be DEPICTING, in acrylic paint on canvas board, at least TWO footballers per game. You know, the ones wot are doing really well. The ones in those long socks (do they still wear them??) And maybe a flag in the background or a "ref" or something.

To whit - #livedraw goes #world cup 2014 on the Twitter and that.

PLEASE tell your friends. Real ones and virtual ones and the actual imaginary ones.
DRINK along and offer twitter encouragement if you like doing that sort of thing.
DO watch this website for PAYPAL buttons and please do buy.
30% of the price of each artwork will go to Macmillan Cancer Research. This site will be updated regularly with running totals, photos and "interesting facts".
More preliminary sketches may be revealed tomorrow. Plus photos of paintbrushes and/or bottle of Gordons.

I've even invented a catchphrase I'll never use and probably edit out of this post tomorrow:
Let's make art real. Let's make art #livedraw

Thanks. 

A Collection of Davids

It's Friday. Thought I'd post some of the David artworks that have been painted in the last couple of years. They're not in order, they're not completist, they're not good at putting the kettle on but they ARE David and they DO look at you funny.
Some are still available if you have the patience and time to go through the blog posts. You can contact me direct anyway.
Happy Friday! David Forever. Etc.

(Click on the image and it should come up bigger.)

Oh and remember, exciting new #livedraw plans afoot. Watch out for more news tomorrow!
