I am selling this artwork as part of the Artist Support Pledge.

Measuring Stick

White oak bo staff with household gloss.

Each edition of this social distancing pole is unique, dated, signed, and features World Health Organisation statistics from day of purchase. The collector may specify up to three nations for inclusion.

6ft x 1inch diameter £200 + VAT plus p&p (£16 UK. Will ship worldwide at cost). DM me for further information.

Whippet not included.

The fantastic @artistsupportpledge is the initiative of @matthewburrowsstudio. The COVID-19 pandemic has left many artists without work, exhibitions, or sales. The idea is simple: artists post images of artworks for sale. Artists sell works for no more than £200 + VAT plus P&P. Once an artist’s sales reach £1,000 they pledge to buy work from another artist taking part in the scheme. This creates a small but dynamic market where all can contribute whatever their level of success.

Please *Repost** to support us through this difficult time.

"The initial rush of the sudden virtual ascent and shimmering visuals and isn’t far short of wondrous and, at least for a few seconds, is probably the closest most of us will get to the mind-bending space travelling blast experienced by the astronaut at the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odessey"

I just provided the scientific services of #Thrill
I just provided the scientific services of #ThrillLaboratory to the persecuted residents of Sanctuary - the massive, harsh, dark and unforgiving world of the latest #diablo4 . With so many customisable classes of hero to choose from, residents needed some help deciding who they were best suited to playing. And what better way to decide than to conduct some one-to-one in depth psychological profiling of players to see who they’re most closely aligned with - Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, Sorcerer, or Necromancer?

I’m not entirely sure who commissioned our work - I was just asked to submit an invoice to: Succubi Administration / Temple of the Firstborn / Sanctuary.

Such a fantastically entertaining project to be involved in - working with twelve UK Diablo influencer-fans, for the UK launch #diabloiv . It was great to work directly with the team @zeitgeistagency and the crew @blizzard Entertainment. Attached is just a short video extract of some of the work we did together for the launch.

I've learned a LOT about building and entertaining a fandom. Bringing value to audiences is ultimately the most important aspect of any entertainment business. Maybe fans would like to swing their way through game artwork c/o the #VRSwings of @studiogogoltd - "DIABLO IV - swinging corpses " anyone? #playdiablo @playdiablo

Whenever I'm asked "what's the most thrilling design feature you've seen in the amusement industry" I always reply "a good friend who likes to laugh and scream sat next to you". It's priceless, and infectious. Of course, you need to design something to trigger the initial response, for it to runaway - like meltdown in a nuclear reactor. These two  were having an absolute HOOT on the ride today, once they'd seen... well, that'd just spoil it for you.
