Finally getting started on these, and finally getting back to oils. It’s been years since I did anything in oil and taken too long for me to get started on the Offgridlife Claymation series of oil transfer drawings. Based on Offgridlife AI videos of claymation figures doing FREE ART FREES ART. I found some paintings on plywood Shelley did around 2008 in Billy’s studio, used the backs as boards for each colour, apart from red, for which I used a sheet of paper, and drew out the following ten or so pictures. It’s a unique, distinctive and painterly way of making oil transfer drawings that I’m very pleased with myself for inventing.
All yesterday’s were traces of the same drawing. I have about eight more to do and intend to make at least twenty of each. If I can clear enough space in my home studio I’ll get some more done this week. Otherwise, the next ones will have to wait till next Monday.
A lot of these will be given out at The Camden Market Free Art Man once glued to cardboard and Advertismed. Hopefully many more will be sold online.
They’re all dry now, despite being done in oil paint only yesterday. An oil painting can take weeks to dry, and a century to fully dry. Due to the method used, these don’t only dry almost as quickly as acrylic paint but also don’t become sticky for a couple of days. Maybe years down the line the oil will turn the unprimed paper yellow. The first ones I did over a decade ago still look fine.

Made a quick start this morning. Four paintings given away before the display was fully set up, including the main sign which was the first to go. None of my new range of Free Art Frees Art A4 size paintings went, but two flag paintings did, which I was on the verge of giving up on. None had gone until today, then two people took one within a minute of each other.
Two paintings of @offgridlife were taken today, furthering The Camden Market Free Art Man promotion of the crypto-social sites I’ve recently joined. Today made three days in a row at Camden. I’m exhausted as it’s ment early mornings and late nights getting the artwork done. Next week is forecast for hot weather so not likely to get much rest for a while, but this was what I was supposed to preparing for during last winter in Thailand. Had I done more small paintings in Thailand, I would be much better prepared. But this is my first full-on year doing FREE ART FREES ART so am using more for learning lessons that anything else. This winter the plan is to live poor in Korat for a few months and make thousands of Blond Cards. If I can get most of the cardboard cut, painted and the backs half-finished, 2027 should be pretty much Camden every day. Also between now and then, I’d like three things sorted out in particular:- Free storage space at Camden Market so I don’t have to lug the display and artwork there and back every day on the bus.
- Make artwork on the bridge between interviews.
- Somewhere I can put the display up when it’s raining.
NEWS JUST IN!!!! Mooney Ra Ra, my co Strawberry Cake has just told me that the man who took the Orio Blond Card was her friend’s dad, that he was on his way to the birthday party they were all at together, and the Oreo cat we were talking about on the video, that we thought were two different cats, is the same cat! Mooney Ra Ra’s cat! Here’s some photos from today:

Above: Today’s display. I have to wait till around 2pm to take these photos, when the sun is at the correct angle. In the mornings, the display is covered in the trees shadows.
Above: Blond Cards are the future.
