where are you reading this ?

my new web site is now up and you may be on it.

unlike my last attempt to build a web site i have now got my blog feed embedded on a page which should work better i also have a page for my YouTube videos, my 365 page challenge, and the SoundArt project. i still need to find the best way to link it up to my redbubble but things are coming together 

SoundArt1 artwork 

the new and the old

as you know from my last blog post i have a new laptop i am also working on a new website. the fact is i have been working at it on and off for a long time but thing keep getting in the way some times technical problems some times life. but now i am trying to crack on with it.

which means looking at old work to see what needs including.

i plan of having a page my 365 page challenge and one for my soundArt project

soundArt 12 (christmas damo)

SoundArt 11

if you don't remember the SoundArt Experiment i can't blame you. we are running a tiny bit behind schedule.
here is how i described the SoundArt Experimen back in December 2008

"instead of our usual arrangement where i provide artwork to his completed music, me and hunchbakk have turned things on there heads with my art work leading his music, with any luck we'll be putting out a new art-track every month, but don't set your clock by it"

when i'm right i'm right.

here is what my brother had to say about SoundArt11 

soundArt 10

soundart 10 is now here listen to SoundArt10 on soundcloud and here what my brother made from my artwork

it's 2012

so it's 2012 so i guess i should put 2011 to rest with a bit of an obituary
in 1211 wrote 96 post for this blog which is a bit disappointing seeing as i posted 123 in both 2010 and 2009 so i'm going to try harder this year
in 2011 this blog got  4,582 hit compared to 2010's 4,824 which at first gals looks bad but with statistics you can usually put a good spin on them and technically in 2011 i got an average  of 47.729167 hits pre post compared to 2010's 39.243902 so i'm counting that as a win

i have sold
9 t-shirts (it was 5 in 2010)
5 sticker (0 in 2010)
and 1 i-phone case (0 in 2010)

that right somewhere out there in the big wide world is a super cool and undoubtedly ultra attractive individual with head on the back of there i-phone

so that was 2011 ( also some dictators died) but what will 2012 hold in store
maybe me and my brother will finish the soundArt project (started in 08)
maybe i'll get round to continuing my distopeian scrapbook
maybe i'll sell 10 t-shirts

maybe a the illuminati will blow up london during the olympics as blatantly predicted  by this card

 but if nothing happens i'm shore it won't be long before this card blatantly predicted something else.

soundart 9

here is soundArt9
SoundArt9 by Hunchbakk
the art work is a heavily photo shopped photo of an old pub at Enfield lock on the river lea  here is a link to photo of what it looked like when it was open by Jack Hill
i have not been past it for some time so i my head that way to day to see what shape it if it hasn't been knock down yet and see if i make some more art out of it

soundArt 8

SoundArt8 by Hunchbakk

here it is sound SoundArt 8 practically perfect in every way apart from being a bit late but we all perfection takes time and I've got to tell you this art work did take time i started it at the same time as SoundArt 6 you wouldn't think rolling one length of tape from a cassette tape (remember them from back it the day)  round another would be hard but i'm telling you now it is!! but i think it looks dam good it looks like a crossbreed between cassette tape and a CD(remember them from back it the day) or min disc(remember them from back it the day) but also with all the lines going round it looks a bit lick a record (remember them from back it the day)
and now thanks to Huncbakk it now dam good sounding mp3

soundArt 7 incomplete but here

here is the latest ( in every sense of the word) installment of the soundArt project which should have been here last july. and hunchbakk is still not happy with it so there may be a second version uploaded at some point which has had a spit and polish

Blogmass Non press release

Blogmass Non press release

usually the first step to promoting an event is a press release but with the newspapers losing there power to bloggers, Twitterers and social networkers. I have decided to write a non press release for all of you with your own voices in the hope you will use you power of mass communication to give me some free publicity so here it is my non press release

It's Blogmass

young talented sexy artist Ian Byford (well someone must think I'm talented and sexy) is embarking on a advent blog fest he calls blogmass from december 1st -25th Ian Byford will be bloging daily(unless my computer throws a wobbly) at www.ianbyfordart.bolgspot.com/in this period Ian Byford will be

• opening a new wed shop at www.zazzle.co.uk/ianbyfordart*
• launch new products (well you can't have a shop without stuff in it)
• posting new festive stories from his distopeian scrapbook
• making mp3 by Hunchbakk, from there sound art project available for free download

Ian Byford's Blogmass will show you why this super duper artist with overwhelming talent and charisma (maybe I went over the top there) is making a name for himself with his art work taking to the street in the form of wearable products and taking to the air in the form of music crafted by the talented and innovative hunchbakk. based on original art work by Ian Byford in there collaborative soundArt project.
