We usually make boxes for our customers but this time we've made something for ourselves! We are a team of two designer/makers one of us is a big Rammstein fan. Rammstein are a German rock band and they announced a signing session in London, so we had three days to quickly make a box ready to be signed. Including drying time.<br />
<br />
<b>How we've done it:</b><br />
First we cut the logo out and prime it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Bz-5bl2pDsGLKobAvVIGtz4NNMdwZ0SEKiV1NengSV4BXBEhWzHZ2gq9eIFSQMcTmbULWrSDigdQ0W6OwK_xQMIfgRcweusMNDe4YLjTZSzlq1OZDLEy2JRLWxd1z4XoCTuEeTEWVpQ/s1600/IMG_6632.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Bz-5bl2pDsGLKobAvVIGtz4NNMdwZ0SEKiV1NengSV4BXBEhWzHZ2gq9eIFSQMcTmbULWrSDigdQ0W6OwK_xQMIfgRcweusMNDe4YLjTZSzlq1OZDLEy2JRLWxd1z4XoCTuEeTEWVpQ/s640/IMG_6632.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Primed Rammstein logo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Then we take a large wooden box, do the usual sanding and priming. After that we give it a few layers of special paint to make it look like metal. We give it straps and nails, on the bottom we add feet to the corners (two layers of straps) so it doesn't get damaged when moved around.<br />
<br />

The logo is added and then we dirty the box up.<br />

This project is made for a real Efteling fan, the Efteling is a theme park in the Netherlands. His favourite ride is the Baron 1898, a dive coaster ride with a drop of 37.5 meters. In this post we tell you how and why we have made it.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Background story</b><br />
The Baron 1898 is about Gustave Hooghmoed, who finds a nugget of gold in a mine. In the mine some spirits warn Gustave not to take the gold. Gustave doesn't listen and buys the whole area of land to secure himself the mine. He starts calling himself the "Mine Baron" and recruits miners to dig for the gold. One by one, the miners flee from the mine and not a single one manages to stay under long. The guests of the park are invited to dare and go have a look into the mine themselves.<br />
<br />
On the photo below you see the concept art of the ride that we used for inspiration.<br />

For the people who aren't familiar with the park, the plaster work and stone work are quite remarkable and used on some of the rides. The next photo is of a dark ride in the style of fairies and elves, called <i>Droomvlucht</i>, and it has the same texture and look that we used for the box. </div>

<br />
Another well overdue blog entry. Even more changes and expansion. Another new arts centre which I hope to have completed in the next few weeks, film work, commercial and private works and commissions.<br />
<br />
Currently working a totally new venture - all will be revealed. Meanwhile, you can now find me on a new website which is still to be refined and more content added <a href="http://www.haydensartworks.com/">haydensartworks.com</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/haydensartworks1?ref=owner_profile_leftnav">.etsy.com</a> and just opened on <a href="https://society6.com/haydensartworks">society6.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Have a peak at a few recent pieces:<br />

I'm currently re-organising where I store my work digitally and where it is displayed. Finding dead links or images not found. Also, finding some images are everywhere. Unfortunately I'm also finding some have been copied or used commercially without permission.<br />
<br />
To start: anything on Photobucket needs moving: some images have gone from Pintrest to re-posting all over Tumblr for example. So I am thinking to make a Facebook page and website as archival storage for viewing with links to Pintrest, blah blah etc. Anyone have views on this?<br />
<br />
Next: shopping cart or just where to order prints? I have prints of some pieces if anyone is interested plus anything else will be available to order for now.<br />
<br />
Meantime, here a random sketch!<br />
<br />

The latter was both last minute and very successful.<br />
<br />
From July onwards everything became busier: relaunch of a tired art gallery as an Arts Centre; the studios and facilities build at Arts Central; requests for cosplay costumes and props, especially steampunk. It has meant a number of my own projects have been on hold. More about all that later. Meanwhile another couple of sketches.<br />

This one had repeated troll attacks so I left it for I while .. just deleting and blocking occasionally. However, since my last fleeting appearance here I have been very busy and have a had a great time. Lots of events, new ventures, new friends and of course new work.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here is a sketch:<br />

Setting up printer for A4, A3 and postcards. Sifting through quotes for posters, some of the samples were 'crap'.<br />
<br />
Quite a bit of WIP which I can't show you but new stuff underway. Meanwhile, a bit of old school ... coloured version of b/w pencil commissioned a while back. :)<br />

<br />
This is the third time in the last 10 months. Apologies to every one who wanted to see enlarged images. I am in the process of transferring them to another host. Hopefully, my website will we finished soon: an archive of past work and sketches so this can be avoided.<br />

It's been a while since I did any Bloggery. Ill health is one excuse and I'm sticking to it. Very busy times.<br />
<br />
Here is another recent sketch done while sitting on the balcony at the leisure centre. Every time I do one of these I want to colour it in: the big kid in me trying to get out. More soon, lot's of WIP.Hayden Ottonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16839896772365177714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871405831465452403.post-86513562720559458502012-11-13T18:19:00.000+00:002012-11-13T18:19:11.206+00:00Apologies if you can't see the earlier post . . . disappeared or so it seems.<br />

This is a better copy of one of yesterday's images. My desk and work table are somewhat full. A4 using 2B pencil in a kid's artpad. On thursdays my youngest son goes to trampoline club in preparation for competition. While he is training I read or doodle: this sketch is one of many I may do as large full colour finished artwork.<br />
