Artists

David Firth is probably most famous for his creation of 'Salad Fingers', a Flash cartoon series created in july 2004. The original Cartoon soon gained wide internet popularity and allowed Firth to create more characters and create a name for himself in the world of surrealist art.


Firths unique style of cartoons involve grotesque, sadistic imagery and language, however, there is a black comedy to them which makes them very original, and has created a cult following.
Firth also includes music within these cartoons, or even makes his own style of pop video to existing songs, for example, Aphex Twin's 'Milkman'. However, i cannot post this due to some of the language and content....
Firth has named film directors such as David Lynch and Tim Burton as some of his inspiration, which i find interesting, and will delve further into later on in this blog.

'Scribbler' is one of his many cartoons available to view on youtube if you want to take a look:

PETE MILLSON, Photographer

There are tonnes of exhibitions on all the time, sometimes you stumble across them without even meaning to. This is exactly what I did with Pete Millson's photography

exhibition in my local library, Hornsey, North London.

Pete Millson, a photographer based in Dorset, has his own

unique style of photography. This year, his exhibition 'Still' captures "The dignity of people caught up in their busy lives", however, Millson has also been commissioned by many organisations and clients including: The Guardian newspaper, Vouge, Mojo and Coca Cola.

Below are some photos I took from his 'Still' Exhibition in Hornsey library:

These Photos really capture the emotions and almost personality of the subject, being still for a moment. Millson mentions the fact that it can be hard to capture the stillness of a child as they are so active. But these two images offer

an insight into the child's inquisitive nature.

I often use photography in my work, and this image in itself is very inspiring. The mood and tone of voice of this photo is very sombre and bleak, as the shadows are very prominent. I find it very intriguing that a photographer

can capture a mood like this, even when it probably didn't cross the subjects mind, as they are simply strolling under a bridge.

On the other hand, this photo captures a moment of togetherness and love, even though the photo is full of shadows:

All the photos displayed in Pete Millson's 'Still' exhibition offer a moment of emotion and dignity from the subjects from one second of their busy lives which I find very inspiring.

DAVID HOCKNEY


In my view, David Hockney is an extremely talented artist and designer. His work ranges from etchings and lithographs to paintings and photography. It is his unique style of photography that inspires me most. Hockney often uses a collage technique to add layers and depth to his pieces.

These two images gives us an insight into Hockney's imagination. I particularly like the photo to the left (Prehistoric museum near palm springs), as Hockney's shadow of himself taking the photograph really adds a sense of depth.
