  • Colours for October

    Four new colours for this month’s creative practice.

    MOSTO The dusky plum of grape must fermenting after the vendimia, the last of the harvest turning to wine.
    OLOROSO The deep amber-mahogany of an aged Oloroso, the sherry that gives Jerez its name.
    MEMBRILLO Quince, the orange-gold fruit ripening in gardens this month.
    ACEITUNA The green-grey of olives darkening on the branch as the October harvest begins.

    Use them however you like. A wash of background colour, a single brushstroke, a filter, a frame. The prompts this month and every month can be found here.

  • Exploring Personality (Part 2)

    The creative process continues. My love of maps has led me to create this one (shown below), inspired by The Aesthete (worth reading to understand the beginnings) and further inspired by a photo of a wall in a car park in England (See above).

    I didn’t know when I took this photo in the summer that it would become a map. That’s what I love about the creative process.

    This one is still not quite finished I don’t think, but i wanted to keep it simple and try only including what was in the poem.

    The colours were inspired by the creative practice colours for August and it was created using Acorn software (similar to Photoshop) to enable layering and curving of text.
