I prepared some special prints for Supersonic but they didnât sell. Lots of interest, mind, but I guess people arenât in the art buying mood when thereâs music and beer around. And rightly so, when you think about it. The problem is I invested a fair bit of cash in these and need to recoup [...]
As with last year Nisennenmondai were one of the highlights of the Supersonic festival. Hereâs a quick moving diptych I made this afternoon while recovering from a rather enjoyable weekend. Iâm still going through the photos to see whether this experiment has been a success or a terrible failure. But if thereâs anything worth salvaging [...]
Iâve been shooting thousands of photos in sequence at Supersonic and have no idea how useful theyâll be or how successfully my ultimate project will turn out. So, while waiting for the first bus home I thought Iâd try a quick test. Hereâs a minute of Melt-Banana over 200-ish photos. The soundtrack is taken from [...]
Itâs Supersonic this weekend, Birminghamâs annual music festival like no other, collecting the strange, the sublime and the astonishing in the warehouses and converted factories of Digbeth. This will be my fifth year taking photos there. In 2006 I shot black and white film, in 2007 I went digital and in 2008 I took the [...]
Assuming three days in the photo pits at Supersonic doesnât kill me Iâll be selling my wares at the Stirchley Community Market on Tuesday. This month weâll be indoors in the warm, with beer! Here are my pics from last month.
Dirty Bristow, the magazine I did the cover for, is gearing up for their second issue. Rather than take ads they prefer to put on fund raising events and the next one is a pub quiz. Hereâs the poster: Do come along!
Next weekend sees the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham. This will be my fifth year taking photos and third with the TTV machine, and Iâll also be selling some prints in the merch room on the First Fold table. You wonât find me there, of course. Iâll be in the pits with my contraption. Iâve made [...]
A few weeks back Craig from the country-folk band Friends of the Stars emailed about the possibility of doing a zero-budget video for their forthcoming album. Craigâs a good friend but even so, the law of pro-bono still applies. If youâre not getting paid in cash you need to get paid in something else, be [...]
tldr: TTV Pete has a Facebook page. Iâve long been indifferent towards Facebook. My indifference is vague and complex but I think it boils down to a preference for blogs over forums. Twitter is like a blog while Facebook feels like a forum. Blogs are open and outreaching while forums tend to be closed and [...]
A quick post.
I just had to write an Artist Statement in an application for a market stall and since I struggle to write such things I thought Iâd slap it up here for your entertainment. I have no idea if this is a good Artist Statement or a bad one. I suspect those who have gone to [...]
