360 degrees of imagery, usually taken with several photographs and then stitched together meticulously afterwards.

Once again myself and Mau Mau painted the ‘So Soiled Crew’ skateboard ramp in the Greenpeace field at the wonderful Worthy Farm festival of performing arts (aka Glastonbury Festival).
The theme we decided on before we got there was to produce a scene of a ‘retail experience’ in a warehouse style shop, in a fixed colourscheme. As you can hopefully see, we focused on one particular brand to help with the message (namely PIKEA). The selected Greenpeace theme for the year was ’save the rain forest’ so we created a checkout and a father/child customer dressed in James Cameron’s’ Avatar costumes. Large sale slogans were used to dress the rest of the ramp. See the 360 panorama at the bottom…
The piece above was painted in Madrid to help promote the new game BLUR to a European audience. There is a time-lapse film that accompanies the launch campaign, a funny promotional advertisement that pokes fun at Mario Kart and a facebook page too. There is also a 360 panorama i made below… Read more »
Here’s the final shot of the piece in Sodtheditch (sic). I’m told by the good people at Mutate Britain that it is alive and well and kissing the clouds from the rooftops. Notice the cans on the floor, working on the floor was my favourite moment, together with the mathematical ‘overlay’ effect, not sure what to call these yet. Their proper name is anamorphic projections, but much like my improvised largescale anaglyphic stereoscopy, it has to find a less hyphenated description. 3D as a name seems so varied, almost covers most of my perspective trickeries.
I’ll keep you posted.
This final photograph above is a composite of 9 full format frames, expertly photographed by the wonderful Mauritz.

During the Birmingham squad’s visit to Berlin for Secret Wars, we found a little time on the last day to go paint just on the outskirts of the Kreuzberg district.
When I began working on this painting I knew it was going to be something new, a new technique must apply.
For ages I’ve been seeing the work of some pavement artists rendered in chalk (attached as a Word document or on one of those ‘10 amazing…’ sites). All the works have to be made stretched to accommodate the point of view, or plane distortion.
Making the floor seem to become another surface or even vanish completely. Read more »
Fisheye lenses have always interested me, as do any optical device to be honest with you. From door peepholes, to magnifying glasses. Microscopes to telescopes…
If you can’t make the trip to Birmingham to view the new 3D cube in person,I’ve made a video of the painting below.
If you didn’t already know, I’m in the Birmingham squad for the Euroleague season of Secret Wars. Our team held a showcase at the fantastic Green Street warehouse in the heart of Digbeth, Brum (detailed images & a 360 below).
