Mark Kennedy: Mosaicist

No....
It is absoultely astoundingly brilliant

[user123]

Oh, yes, Mark Kennedy, quite a name in the mosaic world, truly amazing work, very experienced and prolific

All I can say, lads, take up your pincers!

[doug boardley]

wow, some real masterpieces there (The "Kes" one was my favourite)

[david campbell]

some nice stuff there !love the full size cows and i'm sure some of the footy and music stuff could fetch an awesome price to collectors even though the madonna piece is rather scary

[DJS]

Excellent work. I happen to live in Manchester, and have ridden one of his cows whilst drunk!!

Well that's certainly a unique claim to fame.

I'm sure you could do some of that couldn't you Gi?

Thank you for the thought, Dan, some yes, some I would do differently, with more subtleties, but some I know I couldn't do yet. I haven't had much experience with protraits but I can draw them well enough, the most important step, it's niggling away at me that I should have a go, even thinking of starting the hard way, the "new baby in the family to come" portrait maybe, when she is 6 months old or so, smooth soft features are the hardest, so it's a challenge in my mind, the brain has much fewer recognition points so it has to be spot on. Basically if I find I can do a baby face really well, with the right expression, especally using totally different colour mixes, then I can go on to simpler adult faces and relax a little...

Mark Kennedy is clearly a talented artist. But I think there are also many talented artists on this forum - check out the latest here:
The Tilersforums.co.uk.. Show us your work thread.

Tiling is a trade you can allow the artist in you to excell - if you want. Many do. Hi to all you posters who are outstanding artists as well as professional tradesmen (or women).

He is good but MG is better IMO.

I live in the country and herd (lol) of a few farmers that have done something similar but sober

That is very sweet of you Dom, but Mark Kennedy has many more years of experience under his belt. I think he's REALLY OLD!!!! Seriously, it's just a different artistic approach, different thinking. Thanks anyhow, I will go to bed with a smile on my face...

Yeah Mark is good, I went to school with him & he's a nice bloke too. His work has also been seen on Corrie etc. Beckham bought one of his portraits as did Noel Gallagher who bought a mosaic of Colin Bell.

Mark inspired me to try it myself a couple of years ago, I did a 2 colour portrait of Ian Brown (60x77cm) Not bad for a first try I guess but it was nowhere near as good as Mark's work.

REALLY OLD! I'm sure he'll appreciate that, he's about 44 years old!

Anyway, here's his website if anyone's interested: Mark Kennedy: Mosaicist

[Dave]

If that is him on his website... had a hard life for 44.... or just a block of flats for a paper round..

No such thing as right or wrong in art, as long as the quality is sound.. young or old...
