Choosing Band Mates
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was going to a music retreat in a big square blue house. Most people had already entered. The house seemed like it was on a peninsula. It’s raining. The woman greets me. The walls are leaking from the amount of rain, dripping from the ceiling. We go up 2 floors, and all the bunks and dorms are taken. There's something about being sat at a kitchen table choosing a guitarist and bassist from a list. I think they might have been the people occupying the above house. It's bright in here. There’s a boxy white car out the window.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
