Vlog Death of a Hipster starring Frank and Hank

I was feeling pretty food when I recorded this but unfortunately the pain has returned with a vengeance. I will carry on and try to do some art. At the least it will distract me from the pain, hopefully it doesn't make it worse.

Another Monday unfortunately another fight against pain....

Quick Update - Futher down the Art Time Continuum....

”Deaths Vs the Time Space Continuum or Something Like that”…. by Frank Louis Allen


This style kind of reminds me of the surrealist photo montages they would show you in Art history taken into a place Sci-Fi.

 Quick morning post before I start the day off. I've started experimenting with Photoshop textures instead of painting as I'm much more comfortable and at home with this. I seem to be able to pull some funky colors out of the bag that way. At least until I can learn to paint myself. It seems to go well with my drawings.

I will have to take on a far bigger piece next time in this fasshion, That might take days but will probabally be worth it....

My Life as a Arist the non-neurotypical Art Blog

After much time away in the shallow land of  Tumblr where I amassed  a small army of 4000 mindless Silent Hipster Tumblites I  have returned to a more communicative personal blog format over here on Blogger :)

I Shall keep it relaxed, Sharing my Art when I have it which is very often, and discussing my  life as an artist now living in the States.....

This Picture is a reworking of my first foray into using paints. Its called The Canvas of Chaos Mark II and its by me Frank Louis Allen.. All my work is withoout intention usually so its a bit of a differe t thing for me to rework a piece.

As I have PDD-NOS autism along with the symptoms of ADD I cant always direct my Art. In face I can hardly ever do so. I felt really relaxed with this piece and hope to be able to get some paints to work on it tomorrow.

I look forward to being on a blogging platform again with a more communicative format and sharing my Art with you guys.

Been waiting for Surgery on my back for 6 months, but today I find out its not going to happen.

So the exercise loving Frank is going to have to be subdued maybe indefinately or maybe for another few months....

24 11 11 - Daily Doodle War on Bruce Springsteen

Last night sitting in the Living room with Becky and this emerges........

It seemed the obvious choice to call it War on Springsteen. There isnt much music that really really frustrates me, but Sorry BS Fans, all Bruce is a loser.

Its like he needs some kind of sound Injection. They call it Rock N Roll but to these ears, I'm not hearing the Rocking or the Rolling.

The Piece, as Usual its marker pen, this time on A2 folded to be A1. Come Fly With Me, was on BBC iPlayer and I was just drawing Random Lines as usual. The Whole Piece took the Usual hour Max. I think it represents kicking his lame butt. ;)


I might Digitize it at some point, I'm picturing a lot of RED here, or maybe Army Greens. A Big Reed White and Blue American, Gun Ho, Bonanza Maybe.

Let me know what you think of Bruce Lame Head, an if you strongly Disagree. Also let , me know if you want to buy anything. You'd be the first ever person to buy a piece of Frank Art.

The Blog is 2 Weeks Old Today and posting Daily.

15th November 2011 - Rock N Roll

Post for 15^th November 2011

Probably one of my Favorites to sketch so far, It screams Rock and Roll. Although It came from a stressed environment, the football was on and I was hid away in My sisters farmhouse Kitchen. I love farmhouse kitchen Tables the chance of me ever having such a luxury slim to nil but enjoying someone else's to draw on, Priceless.

This one, although quite easily drawn in Just about 2 Hours in my sisters Kitchen, was a Nightmare. Although It is just a single A2 Image, I had to scan it in 6 Sections on 2 different a4 Scanners just to get something I could match up. If it had been colour it would have been completely Impossible. I may have to sell some just to be able to afford a scanner to scan them in.

There was no music on but if there was I'd imagine it'd be cool but melencholy, so I'll stick on some Bon Iver

Thanks for looking If anyone is interested in buying anything just let me know.

17th November 2011 - Astro Light

Heres the Doodle transfered to the computer at last.

I saw some quite obvious Images emerge from these lines but when I showed them to Mel he really couldn't see them at all. I wonder if any one picks out the two futuristic figures for what they are. Have fun and see what you see, then let me know. 

Made me laugh how drugged up this looks, I take no recreational drugs but I could see how it could appear that way with this one.

Its taken me hours to scan this A2 abstract doodle onto a A4 scanner, It took me only an hour to draw typical.

Drawing was round Mels listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra's 'Birds of Fire' on original Vinyl. Mel used to run a record shop before his Life fell apart and has shown me some wonders from the early 70's. When Jazz Rock Fusion had a dirty sound and it was all going on in the Jam.






This Song is Mahavishnu Orchestra's Miles Beyond from the Album Birds of Fire. Really playing with time signatures in a grand way.

20th November 2011 - Abstract Structure to Live Art (Deconstruction Festival)

 

Was really pleased with this Doodle, Its loosely based on a doodle I did stood in a corner at a live gig. 

The gig was in Luton and it was called Deconstruction Festival. Experimental band, after experimental band, with wavs and waves of the Improvised beautiful Noise. So I found a perch on a Armchair and drew the whole 8 hours with breaks of course. My lines where controlled by the flow of the music and this is what I created to the Band 'Coldstream' found here on Myspace 

I think its down to the Aspergers, I go into a state of hyper focus which can go on for hours. Beep and Hiss akimbo the music, music for people who like there music to go out there, way out there.

I enjoyed the whole day immensely, Lost in the Doodle until the early Hours of the Morning with no worries or Cares, I think it was when I truly discovered how Calming the Doodle could be.

Thanks for Looking, 

Tell me about what you like to do art to, and what , music makes your creative juices go wild?

The first Doodle Cleaned up to The Groundhogs 1972 LP 'Split'

19th November 2011 Re-Touched

The first ever daily Doodle cleaned up a bit. Contact me if you would like a print of it, or would like to buy the Original. My opertion is in three weeks now and Im still off work at the nursery.



 The Music Behind The Doodle

This first Doodle from last week and the blogs birth was also partially inspired by this Amazing album from 1972 by the Groundhogs called 'Split'. This is at the very heights of 70's fusion and it is Awesome to behold.




If I was in a band like this I'd think I had died and woken up in Paradise.

18th November 2011 Jupiter Explodeds PT 1 or 'Unintended shocker of an Image'

Wow I just don’t know what to say about this. I was just sitting drawing lines and next thing I know Ive got a monster of a strong Image. I felt quite uncomfortable with the whole image so I kept on working over the top of It. I’ll post the results in afew hours when I can scan the colorful Beast. Let me know what it brings up with you?

16th November 2011 - Aspergers Sci Fi Mind

This is a brave one for me Because a lot of people do not know much about Autism or how much or little you can be on the Spectrum, So it will come as a surprise to many that I myself was Diagnosed with A-Typical Autism. Sometimes people respond ok sometimes people freeze and see you as crazy because you seem normal to them you don't fit there idea of Autism. I think the ship is me?

Did this one on the Phone. This really speaks Autism in both Positive and Negative ways To me, I do not know about you guys? but I see a creative explosion that dose not fit in with what most of the world would do with the materials and sometimes its tough when you need to fit in.

Please Let me know what you think of the Drawing.

10th November 2011 - The First Daily Doodle

So Heres My first Daily Doodle. From the 10-11-2011 it seem like a good positive thing to do to post one a day, it might led up to me doing other things. Im a partially sighted artist with RP a degeneration eye condition, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder. Inattentive Type) and ASD.
Im a musician but firstly I am a artist.
It took roughly 30 to 45 minutes give or take. As usual I turn off my brain and went with the flow. I was really pleased with this. Created this at Mels with Weather Report a 70's Jazz Rock fusion Vinyl on.


I am going to try to post one daily. But I cant really get the others scanned from A2 so they might be photos. People have suggested selling the art so let me know what you think
- Thanks for looking Frank UK
