CREATIVE BLOG: L.E.J.O.G BLOCK PRINTING

Ladies and Gents.

Some of you may know by now, that I, Darren, will be cycling from Lands End to John ‘O Groats (or John O Groach as Rachel calls it) next year.

The reason why is to bring together my friends and cycle the journey together; doing the highs and the lows together (and thats not just the hills!).

I want to bring together friends and feel success and strain with them. There is purpose in the journey. We’re doing life together at the moment but it’s from a distance and all around the world. This cycle will focus our attention for around 10-14 days next year. We can hang out. We can cheer, joke and laugh at one another as we overtake each other up and down a hill.

I have got hold some block printing materials and have created this simple postcard that i’ll be sending to friends. One purpose is to show friends I want them on the journey and the second is that I love an opportunity to create something new!

Check this out.

Brush Strokes & Stencils

The time is 17.43 on 27th Jan 2011.

I’ve picked Rache up from school, watched A Place In The Sun, Home or Away, had a Stir Fry designed by Rachel Allen and now it’s time to create.

I’ve missed this kind of evening that we have together.

We’ve been traveling up the country and walked down to the hills and back.

Our creativity is fueled by the desire to hold an exhibition. We want to show off our work. Celebrate our creativity and showcase our friends creativity too.

We get to work in our own individual ways.

Rache is very slappy happy with her thick paintbrush and I’m extremely delicate with my precise cutting out of bank statements.

We’re making statements.

Art that will make people stop and stare and admire. We want to make art that makes people think. We want people to stop in their busy lives for more than 10 seconds to think.

Think.

In a few months time we’ll have enough artwork for people to stop for an hour, maybe two. That’s a big enough excuse for us to hold an evening celebrating creativity.

We’ll let you know when and where and who when we know.

For now, here’s a taster and a feel for what we’re up to.
