Mick Peter

I first encountered the work of Mick Peter, a german born artist living and working 

in Glasgow, at British Art Show 7 in GOMA last summer.

He primarily works with the medium of sculpture, but personally I am more interested 

in the style and atmosphere of his pen/ink drawings, with their mixture of geometric patterns

and surreal hand drawn characters.

Lotte Reiniger (1899-1981) was a hugely influential German animator and film director. 

Here are some stills from her animations, for which there are links below.

This style of animating layered paper cut outs is something which I would like to

 explore in my own work at some point this year.

 It's been a very good and very hectic summer thus far. Much fun has been had, and much hard work has been done. Our band has recently completed the mammoth task of recording our 2nd album, entitled "Raise Ravens" and hand making cd cases over the kitchen table (and many a cup of coffee). Here's a wee peek at the artwork, done by yours truly, and the posters I made for some of our upcoming shows, including the album launch in Stereo, Glasgow, next Sunday. Get down there! It'll be good. Hopefully i'll have made a bunch of t shirts by then too. Yummy.
