Show Piece

2011-07-12T18:14:00.000+01:00

I was asked if I had any work to show at my old school, who are having an exhibition of ex-students' work. I said of course, I have loads to show! and then realised I had nothing at all. So I repainted my portrait of The Headhunter on wooden boards, 2.5m high.

I filmed myself painting it so there will be a video to follow

Colourful Barz from Matt Jarvis on Vimeo.

"In 2009 Josh Piehl, Will Dempsey, Tom Collister and Darren Austin were sentenced to a combined sentence of over 6 years in prison for £60,000 worth of damage to the south eastern train line. In this documentary we follow the life of Josh Piehl, we dig deeper finding out who Josh Piehl really is, where he's come from and his plans of sharing with the world his raw artistic talent. "

I beat the system. And all I had to do was wear a cardboard box

Spent the last two days working on this huge wall, (see bricks on left for scale) black fill black outline black background. Went through so much black. Big up Karm, Nerve, News, Bird, Elf, Some and Best for a mad weekend of relentless painting shenanigans.

The portrait is of Nick 'Headhunter' Chapman, MMA fighter from Guildford. See episode 1 of his documentary below.

Amazing Short Film

2011-05-06T00:29:00.001+01:00

This is by far one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Why do we have xfactor type shows and only way is essex everywhere when people are producing stuff as well thought out as this. Normally I'd be sick of films shot on DSLR's, arty focus and weird angles, but this is done brilliantly.

Character of Carnival from "The Fight Between Carnival and Lent" by Pieter Bruegel

This is a bit of research for uni, trying out painting in the style of medieval religious art. Took about 2 days, painted using a Wacom tablet with Photoshop.

wise words from mr Jimi Crayon

2011-04-29T14:59:00.002+01:00

My 10 steps to becoming a shit hot freelance creative

1 - Always answer your emails as soon as you read them.
2 - Never intentionally ignore a phonecall even if you think it's gonna be bad news.
3 - Make your bed each morning before you leave your house.
4 - Don't be afraid to tell people your ideas. If someone steals it and does it before you, you were probably never gonna do it anyway.
5 - Concentrate on the job you have on at that moment rather than ones that may come in the future. Now is all you have.
6 - Always say yes when a client offers you a drink.
7 - Never play it safe. Better to fuck up something difficult than to nail something easy.
8 - Never take on to much. Better to do 1 thing properly than 10 things shoddily. Shoddiness only gets hired once.
9 - Only work when you've got work to do. Better to go to the park or museum than stare blankly at a computer screen.
10 - Don't go to the same places or see the same people the whole time

And one for luck now that your making serious dolla!
Invoice immediately and learn to save money. Your not getting paid anything for 30 days and that's if your lucky.

RIP Guildford Skatepark

2011-04-12T22:54:00.000+01:00

Last piece ever done at the park

The skate park in Guildford has now been demolished. I don't know anyone who has painted it as much as I have, these are just a few of the walls I've done there, must be around 50 more on my old computer and from pre-digital camera days. It was the first place I saw anyone painting and it was where I did my first pieces. I'm gonna miss it but hopefully this summer there will be a new park with more walls.
