Have just got back from uni where Marcus Oakley http://marcusoakley.com gave us a lecture about his work which was beneficial to me. His presentation really helped me to put my work in perspective and realise that if you have a passion for something like he does then you should explore it, no idea or thought is too stupid or mundane which I find is a big worry for me when producing my work. He talked about his influences and likes and dislikes and clearly has a very distinctive style. He talked about different types of his work like abstract decoration and how a skecthbook is a visual diary and about his idea of visual culture and what that meant to him - a building, clothing etc can all be integrated into art.
Notes of interest from lecture - He thinks he gets paid to draw badly He has a cup of tea and cycles around to get inspired - how do I get inspired? abstract work - he likes the physicality of making, a journey -he used the word Colourama?? 2D work - creates a structure and melody that cascades into something. Commissioned work is a watered down version of what you do.
