recent finds - art and photography on tumblr



This month I had a bit of a breakthrough in finding a very local printmaking studio that has all the facilities I need to kick-start my printing again. I had previous interned at one about 40 minutes away, which did not do etching, a process that I use to make my prints; but now I have found one that is about 15 minutes away and does! So I have been trying to get back into the mind-set of making work so have been spending more time on tumblr and finding images that I find interesting or relevant to what I want to start making.. I thought I would show you a few highlights from my tumblr since the new year.

Highlights include: finding out the Barbican has a freaking conservatory (two of my favourite things together), lusting after hazy summer days, paintings that remind me of the Turner exhibition I saw recently, aquatints and interesting paintings, as well as photographs of beautiful ancient buildings.

tumblr diary

october - december

Something my friend Gina does every month or so is to show a little snapshot of what I've been looking at, what kind of images are cropping up over again. Whilst I'm here: I want you all to go and read Gina's blog. She posts about art and fashion and books and all things inbetweeen, and I really love her style of writing.
So in October I wanted green bedrooms, bismuth crystals and never-ending boxes, circles within circles, seas and skies, holes and towers pyramids.
In November I was making my own blue pigment, and gifs. I wanted crystals and buildings shaped like crystals, steps and shapes that are like steps and geometric things. 
December was the month I realised the depth of my blue-love, along with all things concentric, geometric, and textured. Water and shiny things (buildings and paintings) and my own frosty walks featured.
If you're into these kind of things, maybe you like blue skies and seas and weird crystals too? Go have a look at my tumblr, and show me yours. Maybe I'll make this a regular feature...

a few of my favourite things..

In the spirit of Tumblr, on which I've felt a bit of a drought, recently, I thought I'd post some pictures that I like on here.








In the photo of the three men, one of them is my Grandfather. (: And here is my tumblr: http://sometimearoundmidnight.tumblr.com. What's yours?
