Hi Folks, it is with a heavy heart that I am now closing down this blog. I will leave it online as an archive for my old work and diary entries. The good news is that I have started a new blog over on tumblr mainly because its quicker and easier to use.<br />

Here is the new web address for the new blog.<br />

Sorry for the long silence on this blog. Life and work have been very busy but I thought, in this moment of peace, that it would be worth posting a couple of new pieces up. The blog will probably be quiet again until early next year when I'll be able to announce the big project that is currently taking up most of my time. I can't wait to tell you all about it. </div>

I had a phone call early evening on Thursday from the New York Times to ask if I could illustrate an article for them for their edition on Sunday. I was in the pub at the time of the call so I finished my drink (ordered another, drank that) and headed back to the studio to work on a rough sketch. The article is about the recall elections in Wisconsin and you can read the full article <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/sunday-dialogue-when-to-hold-recall-votes.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </div>

It's been a very busy month and on top of commissions and the Pictoplasma festival, I went on a research trip to sunny Malta with the Ghost Of Gone Birds team. Cery Levi, the man behind Ghosts, and a group of artists went to volunteer for Birdlife to help understand what is happening there in regards to hunting legislation and the migration of exotic birds that stop off in Malta on their travels. As well as formulating ideas of how best to visually represent the situation there, we got to learn how bad the hunting is in Malta. So many endangered birds are killed in incredible numbers and illegally to boot.<br />
<br />

<br />
We started each day at 4.15am and after a 10am-1pm break we were back out in the fields again monitoring hunters and the migration patterns of birds until the sun set. It was extremely tiring but hugely rewarding work. Thank you to everyone at Birdlife and the Ghost Of Gone Birds team for a unique and fascinating experience. In the coming months I'll post work in progress shots of the work that I'll be producing for a group show based on the artists experiences of the trip.<br />

I had the great great honour of being asked to exhibit and talk at Pictoplasma this year in Berlin. It was the first time I had visited the city and the festival itself and I'm now hooked. I'll be back next year as a ticket holder for sure as the festival has such an incredible atmosphere and I love how the speakers, artists and attendees all mingle together drinking, talking and laughing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took an updated version of my Masks show out to the festival to exhibit as part of their 'Character Walk' that takes place through the Mitte district in 16 different venues. New collaboration work with Felt Mistress and my father were the main features of the show. I can't thank them both enough for their hard work and time making this show something so much better than I could ever manage on my own.</div>

This issue of TPost was about American political satirist, Stephen Colbert so the illustration is based on a mock Presidential campaign. It was a real pleasure to work with TPost and the job became much more of a collaboration as Giuliano and I batted the design back and forth. I'm really pleased with the results and I had a great time working on this. Thanks to the TPost gang and the very beautiful model for making this T-Shirt a success.

The themes of the articles in the issue are about how the public sector in France can be improved by looking at how their private sector is run and how new media and technology can enhance that. All nine of the illustrations were very complex but we managed to wrap the job up in about two and a half weeks.... that consisted of very long days in the studio. Anyhoo, these illustrations are very clean and very bright... take a look.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG9_9HfjI42yy1HNpQWG1KJr_Kxa6vI0RrRYNP1fh-vel3-B4rI6iJgUzM7RNfJ-VJG1ov-9eXH5nB_uRRFtbCqHPtuQYqJflV1IuFlhNFPpqb4fsTOO4nsj2lF7lulL1h5bMutQaBCY/s1600/ibm02.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG9_9HfjI42yy1HNpQWG1KJr_Kxa6vI0RrRYNP1fh-vel3-B4rI6iJgUzM7RNfJ-VJG1ov-9eXH5nB_uRRFtbCqHPtuQYqJflV1IuFlhNFPpqb4fsTOO4nsj2lF7lulL1h5bMutQaBCY/s400/ibm02.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675219736544173154" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhTf-vIcOHUEuyd41hdz7XCz_Ej6tAVNG0ajrOmfsAhTfKP68ksjaLUVexsOFfdKZn9LhBYiECPUFyFS5ltnwxOBDizW8BBksETC1WQ6p5-SeetV5mBkuUXMgIpgqoZK91QcVeAMo9NI/s1600/ibm01.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 352px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhTf-vIcOHUEuyd41hdz7XCz_Ej6tAVNG0ajrOmfsAhTfKP68ksjaLUVexsOFfdKZn9LhBYiECPUFyFS5ltnwxOBDizW8BBksETC1WQ6p5-SeetV5mBkuUXMgIpgqoZK91QcVeAMo9NI/s400/ibm01.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675219734209402178" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFb-6WR6vkRf95yf4lQKLhWfJvH5r2Gg72U5Cf-HD4ujaX6k3LpmWQukZv1ibafjcHh8lvA8RLcQ97a3TkUbBXMrkFUbPM3g_iSu43cIFp7OqEdRCjGySJ9rOJnn_gTwlxSgZoRWP1AJk/s1600/ibm03.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFb-6WR6vkRf95yf4lQKLhWfJvH5r2Gg72U5Cf-HD4ujaX6k3LpmWQukZv1ibafjcHh8lvA8RLcQ97a3TkUbBXMrkFUbPM3g_iSu43cIFp7OqEdRCjGySJ9rOJnn_gTwlxSgZoRWP1AJk/s400/ibm03.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675219724866044306" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNL7MgpQ0xumxTvqfwt4hrb2yq7Hp3L-XXIQ3b-I_ittzHmbICsd27Mpp0lsBFNLksJeI7JjMGTQm3bcuUNLiKKyzqHd9uxrpd7mEVYV04P2MuD9wc_wad7tDHFsTYvFsQteQlGsgbfeg/s1600/ibm04.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNL7MgpQ0xumxTvqfwt4hrb2yq7Hp3L-XXIQ3b-I_ittzHmbICsd27Mpp0lsBFNLksJeI7JjMGTQm3bcuUNLiKKyzqHd9uxrpd7mEVYV04P2MuD9wc_wad7tDHFsTYvFsQteQlGsgbfeg/s400/ibm04.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675219721889743250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaOcstAh5nEWHBwIfmH3445uvSl_3XYgFrrmYV6hodRGBVGyE-iqKcm_S1RMi1K6qAWSpFs_ofI15O_5zPdAU6M_4x0RVOf0nkAOrod2aE5IoA3sX8DOLfc8V8UVYUxqVOiwfwj9vbaW0/s1600/ibm05.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaOcstAh5nEWHBwIfmH3445uvSl_3XYgFrrmYV6hodRGBVGyE-iqKcm_S1RMi1K6qAWSpFs_ofI15O_5zPdAU6M_4x0RVOf0nkAOrod2aE5IoA3sX8DOLfc8V8UVYUxqVOiwfwj9vbaW0/s400/ibm05.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675219715722148002" /></a>Ben Newmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076942132481386688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652268103440697901.post-60943645675378752222011-11-15T05:43:00.000-08:002011-11-15T07:20:27.437-08:00Morality Test Illustrations for BBC Lab<div>Thirty three illustrations in two weeks..... yep, this was a real 'nose to the grindstone' job but also incredibly rewarding. I had to illustrate the scenarios for thirty three different questions to gauge your sense of morality for BBC Lab. You can take the test, see how moral you are and view all of the illustrations <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/morality/">HERE</a>.

The exhibition is taking place in Brisbane, Australia but the auction for the pieces will take place online.

Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thanks to Sam and Al at Nobrow for hosting the event, Adrian, James, Natasha, Ann Lou and Joe for being such stars helping me ready the show, Nick White and Laura Beckett for looking after me in their lovely home all week, Sahar Freemantle for her beautiful hats, Felt Mistress for the incredible and gigantic felt versions of Mr Fish, Taimatsu Maru and Neko Mata from the Bento Bestiary and lastly, my father, Colin Newman for the fantastic work he put into making the Masks come to life in 3D. Hopefully this is just the first of many projects with him in the future. The prints from the show are available from Nobrow. Below are some pictures from the night and some press reviews I've found from around the interwebs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWke4C3xd0sl0oLrg5tvbQ0SSi-nlU83ybKvHwkXMP7KdE22MZ_zuF092rSHavc6TV4WfLw0JinITdKXwoV_XCjUiXGKimzkft3E0dQKe3Yug5rQd4WtQJy1BMMTeXYhzg51aiGSSaVJM/s1600/IMG_0630.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Weird, wily faces are composed with a repetitive mechanical energy reminiscent of Italian Futurism, the graphic rigor of Russian Constructivism and the clunky horror of nineteen-fifties American science-fiction monsters in a faded pulp comic palette. Symmetry offers no solace in these images, at once remarkable reminders of the highly organized aesthetics of the uncivilized and machined abstractions of ritualistic horror."</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Jamil, (<a href="http://iamthenoblesavage.com/">iamthenoblesavage.com</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You can see more pictures and writings of the show on<a href="http://8and2.blogspot.com/2011/09/nobrow-masks-by-ben-newman-feat-felt.html"> 8 and 2 (a blog by Yu Fujiwara)</a>, the <a href="http://www.nobrow.net/category/event">Nobrow website</a> and <a href="http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/ben-newman-masks">Its Nice That (which is where the video below comes from)</a>.

Some say it was the only book to ever 'be arrested'.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjROo8-sh9ZJnhTqnabRqDTdE0c1HdmM0ZM_EWqJo6s-qdX88A0RcMjd6aCqlTP5LRzq1swzFFoQZ_NVtRHKnpRdU_OF8NomVwh0GHb-HTNuLeZkVisvWkSP0YybaLy9AjQOf_HYk9cAPQ/s1600/lifeandfateBN_final.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjROo8-sh9ZJnhTqnabRqDTdE0c1HdmM0ZM_EWqJo6s-qdX88A0RcMjd6aCqlTP5LRzq1swzFFoQZ_NVtRHKnpRdU_OF8NomVwh0GHb-HTNuLeZkVisvWkSP0YybaLy9AjQOf_HYk9cAPQ/s400/lifeandfateBN_final.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652884204139909890" /></a>Once the poster images were designed, Devilfish approached me about the idea of creating an animation to advertise the radio show on BBC television. I suggested the fantastic <a href="http://wonkyfilms.com/">Wonky Studios</a>. I worked as character and element designer on the animation and Wonky did an amazing job of storyboarding and animating this 30 second promo, just watch the video below to see for yourself. Thanks to Devilfish and Wonky for all their hard work. It looks great! Daniel Binns was the animator on this project check out his site <a href="http://danielbinns.co.uk/">HERE</a>.<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/28981557?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="210" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(54, 54, 54); line-height: 17px; font-family:'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Credits:<br />Agency: Devilfish Creative<br />Senior partner: Richard Holman<br />Creative director: Lee Edwards<br />Designer: Ben Newman @ Pocko</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(54, 54, 54); line-height: 17px; font-family:'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(54, 54, 54); line-height: 17px; font-family:'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Production/ animation company: Wonky Films</span>.</div>Ben Newmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076942132481386688noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652268103440697901.post-47180197151611773362011-09-12T06:15:00.000-07:002011-09-12T06:43:42.373-07:00ABSOULT VIS10NS Project<div>During the last week of August, I was fortunate enough to be asked to fly out to Dublin and join nine other artists in the ABSOLUT VIS10NS project which was being curated by <a href="http://www.alwaysreadthesmallprint.com/welcome/">The Small Print</a>. I was part of a team of very talented folk from a wide scope of the creative spectrum. We all had to customise an 8ft fibre glass Absolut vodka bottle each and we all had a blast. I'd like to say a huge thank you to Absolut, the fantastic <a href="http://www.alwaysreadthesmallprint.com/welcome/">Small Print</a> crew and all the awesome creatives for making my week in Dublin so incredible. Below are some shots of my final bottle design (you can see the full set of bottles <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/september/exhibition-absolut-vis10ns#feedback">HERE</a> on the <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/september/exhibition-absolut-vis10ns#feedback">Creative Review website</a>). </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSv6aD74jeuJSW40kV1hpTlrGFmeu2lhkyJiHT6sY1O7YlYkxyKUHyyoyq3LjirWIxTx0W828G6aMsUC3PGYfXcqjIXpgI613QAP_WPJ-yLQSSUT-IgVyHeMfiUl5YMr9f6iolgFgBu6k/s1600/ben_newman_0.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSv6aD74jeuJSW40kV1hpTlrGFmeu2lhkyJiHT6sY1O7YlYkxyKUHyyoyq3LjirWIxTx0W828G6aMsUC3PGYfXcqjIXpgI613QAP_WPJ-yLQSSUT-IgVyHeMfiUl5YMr9f6iolgFgBu6k/s400/ben_newman_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651461683446658754" /></a>Here is a shot of me working on the bottle in the final stages.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9IZqHij5WseNBSdOkzgWH2WAEOwdkRKPSKlW36p4lgkmTQ8hyLDlAQTuB7Qs_0HoiKfXaGSSk_9JQ0pGUZ2JfkLevZM1qq8ar6UB0uXtN95dBdsgO-JiG2lx5ZpX_LhOmmCtgK12pAg/s1600/action_06_0.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9IZqHij5WseNBSdOkzgWH2WAEOwdkRKPSKlW36p4lgkmTQ8hyLDlAQTuB7Qs_0HoiKfXaGSSk_9JQ0pGUZ2JfkLevZM1qq8ar6UB0uXtN95dBdsgO-JiG2lx5ZpX_LhOmmCtgK12pAg/s400/action_06_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651461681177440706" /></a>Finally, here is a great 7 minute mini-documentary about the creation of the bottles and footage from the launch night which we were all flown out to on the 7th September.
