More Butlins Shananigans!

Well... back from round 2 @ Butlins! It has been an excellent time and very inspirational as well!

Its been the Urban Academy which comprises of teaching 1 hour long workshops on Breakdancing, Streetdancing, Beatboxing and MCing.
I do the beatbox/Mc bit and BGirl Rach teaches the Breakdance/streetdance.
BGirl Rach is wicked...she has some MAD moves and is a good teacher as well-kids really respond to her teaching which is nice!
We both agree that teaching people who want to be taught is brilliant, as sometimes in schools (for example) some kids come to the lessons just to get out of something else and don't really give a monkey about learning a new skill!
So... ill try and get some pics and more details for you when i get the chance!

Take it easy cheesy!

Old Graffiti from way back....(black book stuff)

Sometimes, as a writer (a graffiti writer), you get OBSESSED by things like your name. Some of these sketches are words that have a bigger meaning than that. These are sketches from an old black book i started in about 1989, and i kept it updated over my time in NGM. They start as pencil outlines then they would get coloured and finally, the outline would be done. I kinda like the simplicity of the outline, so some never really further than that. The first picture is the word "changed". If we aren't changed by Jesus, then whats the point of looking and doing "Christian" things.

Hey...here is my name (ACE2). Its done in two styles - straight (like a whole car, top to bottom piece) and future wildstyle. I used to call myself "Krazy Ace", then "ACE1". When i decided to follow Christ, i couldn't put myself first, so hence "ACE2"....there...now you know!
"Fresh". Simple. Clean. Again, one day i will colour it!
And a block letter style - "Comic". Complete with wet smudges and highlights. Done around the time of meeting another writer who was a Christian. We couldn't get over the fact that we both loved to write!

I guess its all old stuff, but i thought we could do a bit of a retro thing for a giggle!
I'll get round to posting some newer stuff soon, with even some Characters and people included (not a strong point, so i am going out of my way to learn some new styles!).

(p.s: Copyright Stu Robson, so don't even think it!)

If you would like a tattoo based on a theme, name or word then let me know and i could oblige!

See ya soon!

Arty stuff...

Well...really excited at the mo for art etc...
I caught a really good blog about illustrations and comic book art, and i ended up following some of the links and other followers on the blog - a good way to see other peoples sites...
Brilliant - came across some good sketches and 'how to' from others blogs...sheds light on the creative process, so now i feel like i can get stuck in and get drawing etc!

I also came across some old graffitti piece books that i had started when i first cam down South in 1990...nice!
It gave me good ideas for tattoos etc...
Anyway, life is always full of things, and i think i am just needing to think of a longer term plan so i have a bit more aim and direction as the year progresses. Its really challanging trying to figure out your 'niche'.
Do we have one?... I dunno! For the moment, i think i am doing lots of things that interests me, and although i may not have the steady income that i had when i was a full time Specialist Nurse Advisor, i like where i am at now, with all the different areas and flexibility it offers.
Too flexible sometimes, but i am blessed by having good people around me who are really creative and clever (my brother for example...flipping creative brainbox!). So the possibilities are endless - i hope!
Till then Check out my friend Charlies blog - great illustrations and clever to boot!

Gan canny marras!

Nice BBQ!

Hey! yet again its late, but its been a good day. I have nearly done my conservatory flooring, found a new blog to follow (sarah Mensinga) and been to a great BBQ with friends!

Now, i shall retire and then gym it tomorrow with Sir Tim of Wickham, in preparation for my continuing role of Haman, in the musical 'Luv Esther'...

check it ;-)
