Richard Goodhall Gallery – A visit
Went to the above named gallery in Manchester yesterday. Finally got a chance to have a proper look around the place, after a few previous attempts had ended in failure due to closed or closing times. Anyway some marvelous art work on the walls and still predominately based on American gig poster artwork. However there now appears to be a UK element creeping in. Which has got me thinking about producing some of my own. First off to use a previous image that I’ve done for a mock Electric Wizard or Blood Ceremony poster. There’s a lot of really lovely work on the walls, one thing that struck me is that the “finish ” that I crave can come from applying art to something, also there’s the more professional elemt of a lot of the work, but I don’t feel as though that is beyond me. So to that end I intend to get off my arse and really start to produce some work. The thought has also struck me about getting in touch with local gig places such as Central Station and running up some posters for their shows.
All good, but I ‘ve got to get on and do. Generaqting ideas isn’t ever a problem getting them properly finished off is. Like the board game I designed last year. A wander around both Forbidden planet and a Role playing games shop was enough to convince me that the game had some mileage. Now that I feel like I’m moving in the right direction I need to crack it open again and properly finish it.
Gods there’s going to be a lot to do this year. also I think I’m going to split my work between two different paths, which may mean I split this blog in two, one for the light path and one for the dark.
