Daily Doodles #1

Every day, I like to do a little bit of doodling in my sketchbook… Inspiration however is always an issue.
Nothing is more intimidating than a blank page!

For ideas on things to draw, I looked to the app Sketch-a-Day. Sketch a Day updates daily with a new word for the community to interpret. Members attack the word in different ways and with varied mediums.
Having the restriction of a single word leads to some creative thinking. I tend to try and do pretty much the opposite of my first thought.

My doodles can be viewed on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter…. along with my the other rambling ideas.

DNA Dark – Music Art

Every piece of music is unique. All songs have their own special DNA make up. Every song’s rhythms, beats and vocals create a ‘one of a kind’ DNA piece of art.

When the music plays, it’s own special signature is revealed. This is then processed, enhanced and manipulated to create each awesome and vibrant DNA art.

DNA Dark Sound Wave Art is not available anywhere else. It is absolutely exclusive to Mono Wave Art.

All artworks are custom made by myself and proofed for approval. You can customize and add special messages to make it as personalised as you desire.

RDR Jose Gonzales – Far Away

Veneer wave Jose Gonzalez – Far Away Sound Wave Art

Red Dead redemption 2 by Rockstar Games is out soon – I am certainly not alone in being crazy excited to pull on my cowboy boots and get back into my stetson hat.

The sound design and soundtrack to Red Dead Redemption were pitch perfect. The drums, trumpets, whistles, grunts, lingering guitars and rattles…. pefectly emulate the ‘spaghetti western’ sound that Ennio Morricone composed in clasics of the 1960’s

One of my all time musical moments in gaming is in Red Dead Redemption, when the main protagonist, John Marston, makes his way into Mexico.

As you set off on your horse, the stunning track byΒ JosΓ© GonzΓ‘lez, fades in. The song is Far Away. Trecking south, with a bright orange sunset and this song playing just blew me away. It was unexpected and in 35 years of gaming, I don’t think I have ever been caught so much ‘in the moment’.

Jose Gonzales is a fantastic musician… A Swedish/Argentinian folk singer. His songs are usually just him and his guitar, but his sound is like no other. I would definitely reccomend checking him out, if you haven’t already.

The cover art from Jose Gonzales first studio album, Veneer, is my inspiration for this Sound Wave Art. I have searched to no avail, to find the artist who creates his covers, so I have to assume that he sketches them himself.
If someone out there knows for sure, let me know.

Synthwave Art

Synthwave College Real Hero

Recently re-watched the movie ‘Drive’ Β I love this movie on so many levels.

The sound track is also one of the best ever in my opinion. One of my favourite scenes is the drive down the aquaduct with Carey Mulligan falling in love with Ryan Gosling. It’s a sweet scene and the music fits perfectly.
The song playing is College & Electric Youth – real Human Being.
The majority of the soundtrack (Mostly by Cliff Martinez) is heavy electric synths and atmospheric beats. His music is always evocative, and perfectly fitted to each scene.

This has however, led me to delve head first into more synthwave music.

The retro-futuristic sound of synthwave has really hit home with me. It takes me back to the 80’s… a time when the future was exciting… something to look forward to… a place with fast cars, neon lights and mirrored shades.

Okay, so the 80’s had a weird view of the future, but through movies, cartoons, music and games it instilled wonder and excitement in me as a child.

Sadly, the real future hasn’t quite lived up to the promise.

In my retro-future inspired state, I have created Synthwave inspired Soundwave art of ‘Real Human Being’. Hope you all like it.

San Francisco XL

More photos from my trip to USA in 2016. The 40 (XL in roman numerals) photos were taken in San Francisco.

Due to our tight schedule… and a bit of a nightmare with the hire car at the airport , we only had 24 hours in this amazing city. For a city with so much to see and do, this was nowhere near enough time to fully appreciate it.

Enjoy the pics.

 

Iggy Pop Sound Wave Art

Iggy Pop - The Passenger skull ring.jpg
A few years ago, I was encouraged to try my hand at a bit of surfing. The idea of getting into the icy waters of the North Sea, made my more than hesitant. Tynemouth was the venue.

After struggling to get into a misfitting borrowed wet-suit, I tentatively entered the water with a battered, old board.

It was a beautiful summer evening but the water was far from warm. After my paddle out, I rapidly warmed up. Surprisingly, wet-suits keep you really warm – Phew!
I spent the next couple of hours surfing in on waves after they had broken… It was awesome…. The surf seed had been sown.

Not long after, I purchased a wet-suit and began scouring the web for my own surf board. I lucked out, and found someone selling an 8ft 6 mini mal, not far from me. I got in touch, negotiated a deal, and was soon the owner of a beautiful red and black custom made board.

As I drove my pride and joy home, I turned on the radio, only to be treated to Iggy Pop singing Passenger. My board was immediately named Iggy as a result… Perfect.
My Iggy Pop Sound Wave Art was inspired by this awesome track, and by his amazing album ‘Skull Ring’. Although Passenger is not on that album, it is still infinitely awesome.
