Reclaimed teddy by isle of wight artist veronica grimm

Along the far end of Sandown lies Culver Cliff around a mile and half from the pier,

It is at this location in the fallen rock debris that you can find 100 million year old ammonites, but because Sandown beach is also a storm beach, washed and caught up in the boulders you can find some interesting potential arty things!!!

On this day I found a bedraggled teddy bear and a seal bone, with a little ingenuity I put the two together and revamped the teddy. Then as you do I made a conceptual painting, 8 x 6 inches acrylic on canvas. Teddy approx 10 inches tall. again painted in acrylic.

Isle of wight radio kill all wasps by veronica grimm

Every year for as long as I can remember isle of wight radio without fail run a summer commentary on "Kill all Wasps" followed by "what use are wasps, kill them all".

Every year this riles me and then I switch to another channel for several months , last time I was away for nearly a year.

Why should people in positions of power with a population of devout followers put their own agendas on air.

I like wasps, they do a good job in the gardens keeping the bug population down.

Without lower order ! species, us supposedly higher order species could not suvive.

I managed to do a quike sketch of little sting as he tried to manoeuvere over a bacon butty, the shocked look on his face followed by puzzlement as I smiled and allowed him a morsal without gyrating around with a rolled up paper, screaming loudly.

He flew away happy!!!!!!

Designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm pt3

Here is my prototype in its early form (front, back,side)

Once it was complete I smoothed the scupey using turps on a watercolour brush.

I then oven baked using instructions, the stink from the turps is high so keep well ventilated.

Designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm Pt 2

Using just two tools and super sculpey (polymer clay)

I started to mould my figure, at this stage I had a rough idea of what I wanted.

Approx 3 inch tall, relatively featureless features so painting would not be to hindered.

This time I decided to ply the clay on a flat surface in sections so I could pinch the pieces together later as opposed to forming one figure that I new I would keep knocking.

pic2 shows the six moulded pieces I came up with.

designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm

Designing an urban collectable designer toy is easier said than done, if you look back over my blogs you will see I have touched on this idea many times. Scratch building customizing painting, so far not in my mind very successfully.

Now I am going to have a go at scratch building again.

On this blog is the finished article.

There are so many new crisp designs coming out that I have just gone ahead and painted my prototype in the same style I paint my art work.

Over the next few blogs is how I made this model.

collector of screamers by isle of wight artist veronica grimm

Screamers have to be transported to

Missy Evil's domain, this is achieved via servators that have built in void spaces.

They arrive just after Missy Evil has turned the poor human wretch into a screamer, pack her into the allocated space then transport her back.

All screamers are allocated a cavern (sound proofed accordingly) and a specific count is made monthly.

The dominant caste at the end of each month will be given prized contriband to establish their position within the caste system.

open Spaces art events on a very small scale placed where people least expect them.

Here I have placed a couple of sculptures around a drain cover in a very quiet street in Sandown Isle of Wight.

I hope to promote larger shows in the future but this will depend on how much interest I generate over the radio.

Anorexia Angels by Isle of Wight artist Veronica Grimm

A new breed of Angel is evolving. For millions of years angels have been slightly plump cute looking things with time on their side and little wings.
With the upsurge of eating disorders many would be angels are arriving with limiting weight to size dimensions.
It takes upward of two stone of energy to transform a human into an angel and this tends to come from natural body fat, without this excess angels are now little more than wings with eyes.
These three wraiths are awaiting their transformation.

Unhappy by isle of wight artist Veronica Grimm

The RED i syndrome, burning the candle at both ends, disasterous episodial attacks on the central chemical and electrical pulses, this in turn increases perceptual disorders.

The external world becomes even more remote.

Still if I can get hold of just a little bit more alcohol I can really ravage what is left of my sensory apparatus???

Incoming Storm By Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

I had my forth Impressionistic show in late August at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight this consisted totally of seascapes painted on board/canvas and when framed, in locally found driftwood, of the fifteen pictures represented I sold eleven which is not bad for a weekend show.

low brow art by isle of wight artist veronica grimm: Screamer

Screamer #1 left on wall of disused/discarded now boarded up cafe, Sandown seafront. September 5 , 2007.

Could not take a picture, too dark with people strolling by, decided just to quickly hammer it up!

Went by later in day and picture had gone.

A screamer is a generally unhappy chappy who hates the squallor around it and tends to try and brighten up any dark miserable spaces.
