Past Work - Thirty Works 2021 - Second 10

Part 2 of my submissions for an exercise that calls on me to produce a new work of art for each of the 30 days of April 2021.

Day 11: Take an old work and make it more commercial

Title: Bargain!

Day 12: Collaborate with someone else today

Title: Collaboration
(Image transfer collage done with my son, Tom Heywood, in the aftermath of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh)

Day 13: Remake yesterday's work

Title: Parted
(A second collage of Queen Elizabeth and "intercut" with yesterday's work)

Day 14: Don't make anything today. Just send a description of what you would make

Title: Key Components for a Mystery Project

Day 15: Does it take the path of least resistance?

Title: Resistance is Futile

Day 16: The prompt went on and on but in essence it meant "do something quick"

Title: Me

(4 minute self portrait done with my eyes shut, feeling my face and drawing with my non-dominant hand)

Day 17: Experiment with ways to document your work

Title: Shadow Puppets - Prototype
Video: https://youtu.be/R9yP9ZsI-0k

(Suggest by my grand-daughter, Cleo Heywood, and made in conjunction with her)

Day 18: Is there a bit of art-related admin you've been putting off?

Of course there is! Maybe do that today?

(How could that inspire the work you make?)

I decided the art related admin was recording this exercise on this website.

So I created this video called 18 works/18 seconds:

Day 19: Try cheating today

Title: Anybody Looking?

(I took a video of myself looking as though I was up to no good in response to the same prompt last year

This year, I took 20 stills from the video and converted them into a rather jerky animated drawing using Photoshop)

Day 20: Take the unsolicited advice about your work

Title: Did I Ask for This?

(Tough to get advice without asking for it. Decided it sometimes happened in Zoom meetings )
