PAINTED PHONE BY DAVID DUNCAN

A big hooray for David Duncan who has submitted his 'Device Vice' themed artwork!  Dave was the 'picker' of the theme last month, here's what he has to say about his artwork...... 

"In the end my attempt to oil paint onto phone accessory packaging

didn't ever surpass the concept drawing, but here they both are, a

little sheepish."

DEVICE VICE BY CHRIS NIX

So, I had finish mine a while back but just to lazy to put it up - it's true. This is my little spin on device vice. The angry looking fellow in the illustration is David Draiman, frontman of heavy metal group Disturbed, but also of industrial metal group Device. The vice comes into play from the fact he's sporting a salmon t-shirt and white jacket like that fashionable character Don 'Miami Vice' Johnson. So that how I got there.

POCKET MURDERER BY GILLIAN NIX

Hi everyone.  As you know, this month's Art Club theme was 'Device Vice'.  I have to be honest - I struggled to think of what to do this month.  Somehow I got onto the idea of Axe Murderers - the device being an 'axe' and the vice being 'murder'.  A long shot I know, however, this idea lead me to find out about Henry Lee Moore who was an American serial killer in the early 20th century.  He was rather viscious with an axe, and killed his very own mother and grandmother, along with an entire family.  You can read more about him here.  Out of all of the axe murderers that I could find online, Henry Lee Moore had the most interesting face and hair!  This recent interest in axe murders combined with another recent urge to try painting a 'pocket friend' on stones lead me to making a pocket murderer.  My submission this month is a very miniature artwork.....hope you like!

Making some pocket friends...

Without hair...

Some other little lovelies!

Gracie isn't too sure about them!

Hello folks, 

I hope everyone is surviving winter and staying cosy somewhere!  If you are in the northern hemisphere I envy you...please send summer our way down under!?

Alright then, Art Club has been hibernating a little over the last few months and I've been missing it if I'm honest.  Just tonight, Mr David Duncan emailed me through a theme (go Dave) and has officially awoken Art Club, yay!  Thanks to Dave for coming up with next month's theme, 'Device, Vice'.  

Submissions due 16th September.  Email through submissions to Chris or myself as usual.
