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.

Feel free to also connect with me on facebook and I will continue to supply my little tumbles with my Art at  franklouisallen.tumblr.com

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.

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....

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.....

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.

17.12.11 - Daily Doodle The Undertow of the Subconcious Comes Full Circle

While I was studying Graphic Design I did some of this made design work. I got terrible grades because the Art was always late and I went miles off theme, But I was pleased with most of the work that resulted.

I created the song on my four track one miserable morning. I just sat down and played and there it was, another marvel of the subconscious.



As always thanks for looking and please do comment.

23 11 11 - The Doodle Arrived or Sci-Fi Butterfly

Ive done it, its taken me half the day to focus enough to scan this in......

Ok I've turned off the main distraction to blog posting, Today that was the Smashing Pumpkins Earphoria a totally awesome compliation Soundtrack of various Pumpkins Performances thats also a Video Sound Bio Pic Movie Thing.

Before them it was Dan, which I gotta say was Awesome, Google+ have a chat room where you can actually both draw on the same Page. How awesome is that, and he was alble to listen to my music aswell. Was playing the Unicorns and because its awesome funny Indie Synth Pop I'll post a vid of it.



Back to the A3 Doodle Story Frank!

I'd woken up at 3 am very aware that I needed to get up and do something if I was Ever to Sleep. This is so typical of the type of thing you draw at 3 in the morning. Tell me what you think of the Art and the Musical Awesomeness of the Unicorns,

Thanks for looking X

The Doodle Music

 No , music just the breeze blowing in one ear and out the other, rustling the waves.

A Quick Fishy Meaning

I read that Jung believed fish represent the unconscious mind, and that unconscious is like the sea. I like that, there might be something in that. But what on earth does a Alien Moth represent?

A lot to get on with if I'm gonna mount this work and the others for Sale. 

Thanks for looking

22nd November 2011 - The Daily Doodle Physcadelia Jungle Style

 

In the book shop today the Manager said to me 'We were looking through the blog, Man you really like the fish and Eyeballs'' LOL  I supose its a circles and Angles thing. Drawn at Mels as usual, the House of the Doodle accompanied by not 70's rock but really cool Arabian Beats.

The Music behind the Doodle.

Drawn to Arabesque Zoudge. The track is Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart - Yalili Ya Ain. Im looking for a copy of this CD right now.

This track and whole CD is so cool. Arab Sounds mixed with cool beats I think no one could dislike this.

Enjoy and please let me know what you think, or your thoughts on how I could Improve the blog would be most appreciated and as always all art for sale just contact me.

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 Explodes Pt 2 or 'So What happened as the Doodle'...

 

It may just be that I'm really really tired, but Ive never like this A2 sized marker pen doodle from start to finish. It began on Wednesday night at Mels as usual but I was in a overtired state hiding from emotional extended family so not a good start all ready. I was blindly adding Layer upon Layer as the music went on and I got tireder and tireder until finally I called it quits. One of the rare occasions where I didn't melt into 

the doodle.  

So it started off a abandoned birth, the mother stoned for conceiving it and then grew by its own strength despite any will left on my part into an unholy monster, how weird is that one?

The Music

Was listening to a 60's experimental outfit led by Sun Ra, even weirder than the picture even by oddly relaxing.

Thanks for looking

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.
