    Nov 07 : CURRENTSTATE SELECTED FOR CROSBY I-LAND COMMISSION

   
 November has been a fantastic month for Currentstate as I was shortlisted, and then finally selected to provide a signature artwork for the main     entrance to i-land, a new Crosby development in the city centre. The brief was to encompasses essential themes of vibrancy, play, city style,     peace, comfort, lifestyle and inspiration. My proposal was to create a bright and bold panoramic montage that spans from Birmingham scenery to
    New York City, depicting lifestyle, people, bars, cafes, shops, NYC cabs, and street signs. The proposal also included a brief trip to New York so
    I could work from my own stock photography, so i could capture movement and fluidity of real city life. This is the final artwork below, its a massive     7x3 metres and its due to be installed in Dec. Check out my blog for more images of New York.
