MODERN CONTENT TO HELP A BUSINESS CLEAN UP

| Carolyn
Vintage stand up vacuum photographed in garden. Star graphic drawn on the image to the side of the upright vacuum bag. Words lower down the image read - Modern content to help a business clean up

So what is modern content?

Now that’s a question, isn’t it?  Trends come and go, there’s apps out there to edit videos for social media and people follow sounds and whatnot, but what else is there?  There’s connecting with people and that doesn’t change over time.  If we want people to come and look at what we do, it has to mean something to them.

So how can we get people’s interest?  Maybe you solve problems for people, you may have unique products, you may be part of conversations online and get followers that way.

**MOOG ART** MOOG DOOG DIGITAL

| Carolyn
Moog doog designs available on Redbubble.com account shrewdmovenet This is about the Moog synthesizer and is a dog design in three versions.

Moog Doog is a design for Synth Heads across the world.  A little digital creation for those who love the moog synthesizer as well as dogs. It’s surprising to learn how much music actually has the moog synthesizer used in it.  Just incredible, everything from Donna Summer to Gary Numan to New Order and much more.  Just look it up.

**MOOG ART**

There’s three designs for you to have a look at on my Redbubble account – shrewdmovenet

Firstly, the original Moog Doog.  There’s Synth Head and 1964 on this, the year that Robert Moog created the Moog Synthesizer.  What a creation.  

Then there’s the More blacks, more Irish, more Moog Doogs design which is referencing British society in the 1950s when there were signs put up in windows saying No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs.  

The third design is a Christmas design – Yule Loog Moog Doog.  

**DIGITAL DESIGN**

You can get these designs on lots of different merchandise.  Have a look around.

Seeing people get their phones up in people’s faces and then putting them out of work inspired this piece.  Policing each other to the point of paralysis, to me is where we could be going in society.  A place where people simply stop talking to each other.  10” x 12” canvas.  One-off.

HIP HOP SHOES SIZE 7 BROWN LEATHER

Size 7 hand painted brown shoes. Flat. Outside has the words Hip Hop in white paint. One word on each shoe.
Size 7 hand painted brown shoes. Flat. Outside has the words Hip Hop in white paint. One word on each shoe.

We live in a world of cultural appropriation and whitewashing in many industries, including fashion and music.  So what about these shoes?  White paint on brown leather.  Is this whitewashing black culture in some way?  You tell me.  A mix of cultures with these classical shoes, lovely leather by the way.  It is interesting to think about how hip hop became part of the white man’s game.  Here’s a nice pair of shoes for a music executive, do you think?

Hip Hop.  These beautiful hand painted leather shoes are just for you.  Wear them or display them, either will do.  Original one-offs, size 7 £80 including postage in the UK.

The outside of the shoes reads “Hip Hop”, a word on each shoe.  The back of the shoes are striped and there’s a plant-like design on the insides of the shoes.  The front of each shoe has a red stripe and there are liver shapes which are lilac with a turquoise surround.

Handpainted size 7 brown leather shoes. Red stripe on the front and kind of liver shape painted on the front. Light pink with a pale blue surround. This is the shoes photographed from the front.

ORANGE MAN CANVAS

10"x12"canvas called the Orange Man. Large figure on the left holding a flower. Behind the figure is a sideboard and a smaller figure in some kind of yoga pose with one hand and one foot on the sideboard and the other foot and hand raised. There is a light at the top of the image. The smaller figure wears an orange jumpsuit. Blue background.

The Orange Man makes me think of that man in America, I’m sure you know who.  The jumpsuit, well it’s making me think of the uniform of the captive.  Orange is the colour that America chose for its prisoners, apparently just because it is bright.  Blessed be the fruit.  Looking at the red shoes I’m now thinking about Wild at Heart by David Lynch.  That really was a wild film, one of the most memorable I feel, what a love story. 

My work has a main figure and a smaller figure and this could be the alter ego or childhood memories, it could be someone you have lost too.  Who knows what the alter ego is, it could be a face we put on at work, it could be part of our personalities that are kept largely hidden, maybe it’s what we would really like to say to people but know that we can’t.  You’ll find gender ambiguity in my work too, you can decide what the work means to you.  There’s old fashioned images too like here the sideboard and the light.  I loved the décor of the 60s and 70s.

FIGURES WITH RADIO CANVAS

Canvas of two figures with the radio. Smaller image.

Anything with a radio makes me think of Pauline Black and that’s pretty obvious.  My work with a large and small figure, to me, references the alter ego or something like memories, things from our past.  Canvas which is 10in x 12 in.  Original, one-off.
