nothing left outside the studio... well besides these big piece of mirrored card stencils thing



No canvas finds today, nothing left outside the studio... well besides these big piece of mirrored card stencils thing that someone somewhere has cut a load of heart shapes out of and then whe nthey could cut no more, thrown the rest in the bin... only for the unwanted bits to fall my way where they have helped shaped things on top of last week's found canvas - new layers from recycled bits of throw away art waste

Sean Worrall But there is a canvas this morning, a small A4 size canvas with what looks like the start of a landscape on it and a piece of paper taped to it saying "for Sean".

Monica Nelson Somebody threw out a bookshelf once and I pried the back off of it and it made a wonderful canvas ( and brought a lot of it's own character because of age and use). Doors thrown out during renovations...good to always walk around with a cart if one doesn't have a car....mirrors and glass (maybe a bit chipped) thrown out...everywhere one looks there's something to paint and draw on!11 March at 02:09

oh yes there always is soemthing, but I particularly like the idea of working with other people's unresolved unwanted unfinished or abandoned art. working over other people's marks while leaving traces, kind of why street art feels so good,... the bits that are underneath or on top or eaten at by the weather....

There's always doors, pieces of wood, cardboard, got a nice flat screen computer monitor here that has now become a canvas... always something to recycle and paint on (and then leave out again)
