Digbeth Series

Posted on Monday, March 21st, 2011 at 9:21 pm

Been working on these for too too long, scans don’t do the colours justice, but anyway:

purple digbeth

blue digbeth

red digbeth

Each of these were made from six scans on my a4 printer, which all came out at different darknesses, and bent out in different ways, so I’ve spent about a week painstakingly copy and pasting and airbrushing and messing with brightness and contrast and generally annoying computer stuff. I’ve learned a lot about GIMP in the process, but there has to be a better way of scanning paintings in.

Anyway these three pictures are of Digbeth, the Digbeth in my mind. Sheets of cold brick empty factories and fall – stumbling night time people at lengths from the faregrounds city. That’s all I’m giving you. I’ve put a lot of thought into these charecters and buildings and what they signify. These paintings took too long to make.
