When I have the time, and the inspiration, I like to sit down and have a bit of a sketch. These are new watercolours I haven't had the chance to use yet...

This took, like, 30 minutes to do. I wasn't holding on to Rebecca's hair or anything, I used self-timer to do this. All I did was crop and auto-fix this.

One of the most amazing things about Sheffield is its unique blend of beautiful countryside and urban cityscape. In just a few hops, the friendly critters who have found their home at the base of this elephant, created by Aimee and Josh Williams, could find themselves roaming around a sunny day in the Sheffield city centre. In their second addition to the herd these artists have paid tribute to some of the most familiar scenes in the city, including the iconic multi-coloured Park Hill flats, the Crucible and the Arts Tower.

 

Designed by: Josh and Aimee Williams

Josh and Aimee Williams are a husband and wife design duo from Weston-Super-Mare. With Josh’s background in children’s illustration and Aimee’s talents in surface design they make a great team especially when working on large mural art projects.

Summer 2016, a herd of elephant sculptures descended on Sheffield for the biggest public art event the city has ever seen!

58 elephant sculptures, each uniquely decorated by artists, descended on Sheffield’s parks and open spaces, creating one of the biggest mass participation arts events the city has ever seen. Did you find them all?

The trail of elephants celebrates Sheffield’s creativity with over 75% of artists from the city. Some well-known names include Pete McKee, James Green, Jonathan Wilkinson and Lydia Monks – each of which has put their own creative mark on a 1.6m tall fibreglass elephant sculpture. They are all very difference, take a selfie with your favourite as they will be on display until the end of September.

International artist Mark Alexander, who is currently working with Rembrandt for an exhibition in Berlin, flew to Sheffield especially to paint his elephant and international players from the World Snooker Championship signed SnookHerd, an elephant celebrating the heritage of snooker in Sheffield.

The Arctic Monkeys, famous for their love of their home city, added their signatures to their own personalised sculpture which pays homage to the striking sound wave cover of the band’s 2013 album “AM”.

By supporting the Herd of Sheffield you are investing in the future of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Every penny raised will go towards our Artfelt programme, which transforms the hospital’s walls and spaces with bright art, helping children recover in an environment tailored to them. The programme also puts on workshops for youngsters to provide distraction during anxious moments – such as before an operation, and to breakup long stays on the wards.

This exciting Wild in Art event brought to you by The Children’s Hospital Charity will:

Unite our city – bringing businesses, communities, artists, individuals and schools together to create a FREE sculpture trail which is accessible to all.

Attract more visitors – both nationally and regionally as well as encouraging thousands of people to become a tourist in their own city.

Invest in the future – with a city wide education programme that can be used for years to come and by funding a life-saving piece of medical equipment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital from the Herd auction at the end of the trail.

Showcase our city – celebrating Sheffield’s heritage and cementing our status as a vibrant and culturally exciting city through this world-class initiative.

 

The Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend was held on 14-16 October and was your chance to say a last goodbye to all 58 large elephant sculptures as they gather in one place for a final send-off at Meadowhall.

This special event gave visitors a chance to see the entire herd in all its glory – from the signed Arctic Monkeys’ ‘AM’ elephant, right through to ‘SnookHerd’, autographed by a host of international snooker players including current world champion Mark Selby.

Please note that the Little Herd elephants will not be on display as they will be returned to their school for pupils to enjoy.

Meadowhall, along with its joint owners, British Land are very proud to be supporting The Children’s Hospital Charity as host sponsors for the Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend.

 

Auction: Hundreds of elephant enthusiasts gathered at the Crucible on 20 October for the Herd of Sheffield Auction, which raised a total of £410,600 for The Children’s Hospital Charity.

Elliot: “The world would be a much happier place, like a real Heaven on Earth. But people just harness the bit of creativity that suits their needs at a given time and let all the ‘impractical’ creativity go to waste.”

driving & trying, behind my back blind grab..,

This is exactly what I was hoping for (apart from the coffee stains from the previous page!) I bought and used my first set of watercolour pencils...

Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility.

Study of the day:

 

. . Le chaos n'est pas un état informe, ou un mélange confus et inerte, mais plutôt le lieu d'un devenir plastique et dynamique. (...) La philosophie, la science et l'art "tirent des plans sur le chaos, ce sont les trois chaoïdes. La philosophie sur son plan d'immanence d'idées et de concepts, la science sur son plan de consistance de variables et de fonctifs, et l'art sur son plan de composition d'affects et de percepts.". (...)

 

. . The chaos is not a shapeless state, or a confused and inert mixing, but rather the place of a plastic and dynamic becoming. (...) Philosophy, science and art are "drawing plans" on the chaos, they are the three chaoïds. Philosophy on its plane of immanence of ideas and concepts, science on its plane of consistency of variables and functives, and art on its plane of composition of affects and percepts." (...)

 

( Gilles Deleuze - 1991 - "Qu'est-ce que la philosophie ?" )

Took this the other night on the way home from work after it had snowed. Its a dead tree in a field in Healing Village near Grimsby. I have been wanting to capture this tree in some way for a while so I went to see what it looked like with snow on it. Used my kit lense 18 to 105. F10. ISO 200. 20sec exposure. Tripod mounted. Used a Lenser LRD Torch to paint the tree in light. The image staight out of the camera was a little dissapointing (dull with no depth) but I pressed Auot Correct in windows picture manager and the vivid orange came out. The tree isnt too far from the road so I am assuming the colour comes from light pollution off the stree lamps. Not 100% happy as I think it would be better if the tree was painted with the torch light a bit more on the outer branches to the top. I went with a friend of mine who took some shots but we where cold and already late home so I only got a couple of images. I may go back for another try if it snows again.
