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....

Art Vs Pain

 (above) Pain by Frank Louis Allen

Pain scores 10 the last few days Art has Scored 0...

My Crushed nerve is crushing my ability to stand up or sit down to draw again. Back pain seems pure doom to art, but its why I started art 2 years ago, so it will win again its not controllable in us, it'll leak out someplace....

There will be a re-balancing of the Force, I'll probably have to try drawing small on the bed or some such or on the floor like I used to have to do 

It hasn't been all bad, black adder helped, The Tick live action series on youtube also, Lots of encouragement from friends old and new.......

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.

Doodle Diary by Frank Allen

Doodle Diary by Frank Allen

Can't believe I am actually Autistic Enough to feel upset if I dont paste a picture post. Well here you go.

The Diary has it moments but for the most parts lays forgotten in a Squidy Pile .

I'll try again to get that Gallery Up tommorrow.

Sadness Graces my Grubby Toilet Window book

My grubby Toilet window book for the past few Months has been a copy of John Peels Autobiography. As he never finsihed it, half is written by his wife with a lot of honesty, openess and Love.
As I near the final pages a sadness and a turning away from it is starting to occur. I dont want to go to that place of regrets. I to used to clutch a demo tape in the hope of giving it to the one man who might play it on air. The hope of a kid who knew of nothing except music and art.
Nothings changed except the world know is content flooded. He used to listen to demos day in day out. I wonder how he could of coped with Soundcloud? 
Its not weird that I dread that part, iits like the tension in a movie your seen a hundred times. Allthough I've already been there it holds the loss. Whilst I read of his life he lives when I reach his end he is no more but a memory again and I read something else, about science, or maths, and his is no more. Maybe thats why its poiniant.....

04 01 12 Art Space

Thought I'd try to make the only space that I can call mine into a productive Art Space.

I have a desk, Pc, scanner, record player, and Tilting Art Table. What more could a guy ask for?

Marauders In the Sky

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....

01 01 12 New Year New Doodle's? No new years Sketch

 I used to like to do pencils drawing when I was at upper school but havnt done any since. Using the different pencil thickness's, not knowing how to draw, all hsve daunted me I suppose. So I thought I would try an experiment and do a freehand Drawing.

My sister has to draw a drawing of a horse for a client, So I thought I'd have a Experiment and try to draw the same horse with Pencils on A3 sized paper. Ive never draw a landscape, portrait, horse, or fence, so its all new to me.

Was pleased it came out at all and found the whole thing to be really relaxing.

29 12 11 - Eye Drops Retinal Shots

 Welcome to the Darkside of my Eye, The Y shaped flecks are the Retinitis Pigmentosa Deterioration which will continue through my cones in Y Shaped patterns.

The optician said his Camera wasnt good enough really to catch all the deterioration, there are specialcamera's where they would compress your eye to fit it all in.

The Eye drops where hell.....

I think this abstract conceived from a drawing Drawing I had done at a gig reflects in some ways the coming deterioration over the next decade or so from my De generative Eye Disease.

Avliable to buy in various formats from Red Bubble, Its a new thing Im trying out.

25 12 11 The Doodle that gave birth to Itself

I'd say this is the first Doodle that made me think maybe these doodles might even be Art to someone.

All the Doodles are done Abstractly without me intentionally adding any lines until they begin to form into shapes with a life of there own. I haven't set up a business yet ;) but any are available to buy, as Im still waiting for surgery.
