THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$- LONDON EYE

THE ICONIC LONDON EYE-


When you see it you instantly think of London...The Embankment...The River Thames... I like the way it was initially rejected and then eventually people accepted it, now they celebrate it... Our trip on the London Eye was awesome...Thanks Girls...And it immediately made me want to create art based on the concept etc... Manda had already begun to take some great pics of the eye, and eventually we decided to use her picture and base an entire art project around this picture... produce a Photo, an Acrylic, then use the image for a Silk screen, and use it along with a Song Lyric to create a T-Shirt... Anyway... the Photo below is Manda's... This was my starting point...


Picture of the Eye by Me...

Another picture of the Eye by me...

Here is the template of the London Eye after I have removed the color, and the background form Manda's Photo...


So this is going to not only be the template for the silk screen it is also going to be the starting point for my composition in this piece...


Then we tied it Together with a Song... In this case a lyric from The Script...


Me with the Beginning Stages of The London Eye Sky...


The Lyric and the Iconic View work together to echo the place...LONDON

Now with the Clouds..

My Palette... I have begun with the high-lites...working the clouds in...


The beginning of the Clouds in the London Eye Sky Background... UP NEXT... THE EYE... an Altering of the Lyric... and PAINT EFFECTS!


Hope you are liking the artwork...


PEACE,


TRAVIS

THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$-Chelsea Football

CHELSEA FOOTBALL



Hey... I just thought you would like to see more of our trip to London... Here are a few pictures from the Chelsea Football match vs. Arsenal... Pedro hooked us up again and we along with his family went to the match at Stamford Bridge to see the Blues take on Hated Arsenal... Such drama for Arsenal... Gallas, Nicklas Bendtner's Pink Boots... van Persie's Off-Sides...


Bendtner's Pink Boots


Manda and I waiting outside The Shed, with Pedro's Family



John Terry greats you outside the Team Shop

Pedro arrives...We got to meet his Uncle, Nephew, and Cousins...had a blast at the match, and afterwards talking...Great people.. Thanks again Pedro for an awesome time.

Stamford Bridge is such a great place to watch a Football Match...

The Shed does all the football chants and singing. They keep the crowd going... and the people in the stands are from all over the world, I sat between two Dutch guys pulling for Arsenal, and two Italians pulling for Chelsea...

The crowd starts to get loud about an hour before the match.. the visiting team stands and yells too... the guys from Arsenal stood the entire match...



Waving the flags... and then having the huge flags unfurled over the stadium seats....





Then out come the Players....








Both teams enter at the same time, along with the officals, and a group of kiddos...


Arsenal Traveling Supporters... flags and singing and two finger salute etc...sweet.



Notice the security... not an incident, except Chelsea's fans' hurt feelings after the 2-1 loss.


The place was rocking...

Petr Cech, Chelsea's Goalkeeper.... right before the match was to start.

Me looking like a goober... The Italians were nice enough to take my picture for me... I had a blast... but froze my ass off, even with my new Chelsea Scarf..ha
