The Art of Noel Fielding

I have managed to find some images of work done by Noel Fielding but not much is available.

A couple of paintings...

...and a doodle.

The work is very reminiscent of the CoBrA movement...

Mod Wolves Song

The Mighty Boosh

Cult tv show starring Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt.



The imagery contained in the show, all the animated characters in the title sequence and many of the characters within the show are devised by the wonderful Noel Fielding out of his imagination. Brought to life from scribbles and doodles.

For example Mod Wolves:

Aboriginal Art

Ever since purchasing a rain maker covered in the trademark aboriginal style of painting using dots I've been intregued. the symbols used in Aboriginal artworks all have meanings for example:

I found a few images that I liked mostly depicting what I think are people which leads me to believe its not true aboriginal if a person is supposed to be symbolised as a half moon shape why in these images are they portrayed as thin, elongated bodies?

These remind me of dream like images, whimsical and unreal. A bit like my own doodlings.

The artwork of the Aboriginals reminds me of the "scribblings" of Mighty Boosh character Vince Noir (real name, Noel Fielding) he uses a similar style to create his pictures which can be seen hanging on the walls of the flat he shares with Howard Moon (Julian Barrett), Naboo (Micheal Fielding) and Bollo (Dave Brown) in Series 2 of the hit show.

Priscilla Hernandez

I found this woman, Prescilla Hernandez, who has some amazing photos that she has done with the theme of faeries.

Check her out at http://www.yidneth.com/ she is a gothic singer/songwriter and fantasy illustrator. Some truely amazing work.

Faeries

A fairy (fey or fae or faerie; collectively wee folk, good folk, people of peace, and other euphemisms) is the name given to alleged benevolent metaphysical spirit or supernatural being.

I became interested in faeries after being involved in a primary school version of A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare. Titannia was my favourite, the Queen of the Faeries.

I decided to create some images depicting the existance of Faeries using Photoshop, heres what i came up with...







I thought these were quite nice images, blended quite well to give that supernatural feel to them, like the camera has only just managed to capture the elusive creatures.

New Year, New Project

I really should have gotten round to writing a post sooner than this. The new term started 6 weeks ago, i am over half way through my time for the first project.

I found myself lost on inspiration and really wasnt sure as to what to do for this year, so I decided i would do a little task i did way back in college and that was the 50 interests project, come up with 50 interests, look into some of the more prominent ones, ones that give me ideas and decide from there where to go, ideas with the most in common.

So my 50 interests:
