Back in the Day “Corporate Identity” was the Criterion and I was privileged to work with Wolff Olins - the undisputed masters…but branding is different…for me it infuses my work as an Artist, a Photographer and a Musician…into a singular concept…now we have new media to embrace these concepts…but the Pioneers will always have my total admiration…😎📸🎸🎨🙏
At the end of a day of creativity…all you really need is food, wine and the best Company…in peace and quiet…al fresco…😎🎨🙏❤️ Photo (c) Hawkins, 2024
No words…just a peaceful feeling…😎🎨🙏
Yoko Ono: Torn Canvas, 1957. Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024. There’s some superb work and shows at the Tate Modern right now; a comprehensive retro of Yoko’s work and a wonderful look back at the Expressionists - Kandinsky, Munter & The Blue Rider…more to follow…but go see…! 😎🎨🙏
Sharing my Birthday - January 28 - with Pollock gave me the impetus to create a series of homages to the great artist. I number them all #1/28 which adds wonderfully to the confusion…they’ve all sold except the one above…happy to keep this one…but you never know…right person, right price…! Artwork ©️Hawkins, 2024…😎🎨🙏
Great game at the London Stadium…except the Phillies dumped The Mets 7-2…the following day the Mets got their revenge…! Go Mets…! 😎⚾️🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
The Lords of January…appearing somewhere…at some point…😎🎸🎸🙏 Cover Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
Hyper rare - The Clash - Live on Orange Vinyl…getting much play today in the Studio…Superb…aiding the Creative Process…😎🎸🎸🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
…wonderful artist…recently passed. He was well known for his paintings, but not so much for this project. Frank, along with Lichtenstein, Warhol and Others was given this base white BMW to decorate in their chosen style…very understated…but undeniably Frank Stella…! 😎🙏
In the sunshine at London’s very own “Flatiron Building” - the magnificent Blackfriar…recommend a visit - particularly as a vegetarian! Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024 📸🎨🙏
It’s a bit contentious right now…some artists are posting “No NFS” whilst some are “NO NFTs!!” I wonder how past artists would have reacted - Rothko, I think, would have been in the first category…Pollock I think would have experimented…and Warhol would have taken over the World with his NFTs! As with all new media, I embrace NFTs…they’re another income stream and allow me to work in a new World order. I use MetaMask and OpenSea with Polygon crypto. Never turn your creative back on anything…😎🎨💻🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
Never a bad idea to start the Day with Coffee…@ Bosco Lounge…Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
