Join me at Upfest 2024 as a returning artist! I am amazed and humbled to be back. After my last Upfest, I thought it might be my final appearance, but here I am again, embracing the challenge of completing a detailed surrealist expressionism piece in just 5 hours. All while my dog, Ralph, waits at home with his pet sitting service who were with him 12-6.
In this video, you'll witness my improved painting speed and technique, despite the tight time constraints. Upfest 2022 took me 14 hours over two days. The artwork for 2024, a 47.24 x 47.24 inch piece, is a testament to my dedication and passion, capturing the festival's vibrant atmosphere and the wiriness within my own head.
The video showcases my experience, from sketching to painting, (although I was even able to take break to enjoy lunch with my aunt, friend, and their dogs.Which I didnt feel able to do last time, working through lunch) Despite feeling less creative with filming, I'm thrilled with the amount of footage I captured. The piece, filled with intricate details, especially in the lips, received numerous compliments for its unique weirdness, colours, and textures. It's a love-or-hate situation, but those who loved it really loved it!
Watch as I navigate the pressures of time, enjoy the festival, and bring you along on this artistic journey. Mostly to music with captions throughout, as I didn't feel comfortable speaking to camera in public on that day.
There is also photos and footage from the past two weeks with upfest becoming upfest presents this year, as a nod to the 17th May to 2nd June schedule, due to lack of fu ending and arts council funding decreasing each time, they went back to roots, but ghonestly while the park feels great to be painting in, as a local enjoying the festival I enjoyed this festival more, I hope this format will come back every so often and alternate. This was still Europes biggest street art festival with 50k plus visiting per day and artists from all over the world arriving, from Japan,, Australia, America etc amazing to be apart of it, 1000 applied, 200 accepted , applications will be out on upfest.co.uk around November December prior to the festival which will be back in 2026
