SEASON’S GREETINGS (POWER OF 13 / 2022)

Today, I made my (now) traditional new rendering of my POWER OF 13 seasonal tree. I started this around ten years ago. The concept was triggered by Sol Lewitt’s ALL IFS ANDS OR BUTS CONNECTED BY GREEN LINES. I just used numbers instead and gave each digit a unique colour, an idea I have used elsewhere in: https://cddmgs.wordpress.com/2018/03/08/100-significant/ . Anyway, here is this years rendition , made using Procreate, on an iPad Mini 6, with an Apple Pencil:

• a beginning
• digital sketches made using an iPad, Apple Pencil and Procreate

Getting started with the idea of drawing my CONNECT series using a neurographic hand drawn aesthetic. A series I have named as NEUROCONNECT. These early outcomes were drawn on an iPad using an Apple Pencil and Procreate. Some tweaks may have been applied via the iPad version of Affinity Photo. I plan to do some real world drawing in a similar style of fluid mark making.

So, there we have it, my Artweeks installation is complete. I had planned to post the summary views one per day, this week. But, I now have other things to do, and this forced my hand, so they are all here posted today. In addition, here is another view to summarise the summary. This one image overview is a boon for the lazy viewer! To finish, (I must say) this has been a very enjoyable project. A project where I have created many new outcomes and ideas for continued pursuit. Watch out for derivative outcomes as time passes by. Open edition prints are, of course, available from the usual source:

DOUBLETHINK TOTALITARIANISM © 2021 REVAD David Riley

1984 – thirty seven years on and we are almost there! Orwell’s social science fiction has never been as close to the truth as it is today. The internet is fast becoming the key enabler for: dystopian, mass surveillance, propaganda, doublethink, thought police, thoughtcrime, newspeak, totalitarianism. 2021.

print 2022

I have increased the importance of this digital print archive by forwarding my (long held) domain codedimages.com. The space has the main intention of being a convenient and organised archive of concepts (1,500 images and growing). Concepts realised (mostly) in the digital virtual domain. Then there is the side effect of making open edition prints available (on a selection of substrates and sizes). I do not see this as a commercial enterprise. I am not a commercial artist. I am not a business. I am not an entrepreneur. I consider it just another space to employ on my journey. When someone buys a print (it happens occasionally), it is a small bonus, and contributes much needed funds for art related services and materials. In 2022, an aim is to stabilise this space and take my fidgeting elsewhere. For me, that is a huge ask..!
