Latest Updates...

Apologies again for not being in touch for so long - to make up for it I've put a summary of all the recent things I've been up to in 2019 and some new things coming up for 2020 below...

Hope you enjoy the post, and as always any thoughts, comments and feedback are welcome below ;)
New Murals in Amsterdam...
Picture
Since the last time I was in touch I've done a few more installation projects around Amsterdam...

The first was a set of installations at a Japanese/Jamaican Vegan restaurant called the TerraZen Centre in the city centre (on Sint Jacobsstraat).

The concept behind the mural was to create a piece that fused the African/Jamaican influence of one of the owners with the Japanese influence of the co-owner.

To do this I used the zen-like colours from the existing mural on the opposite wall and intermingled them with the bold african colours of the rasta flag:

Built into the mural is also a rasta flag on the interconnecting door featuring the 3 X's of the Amsterdam flag:

A few months later the restaurant also wanted some more paintings to complement the original installation and commissioned some detailing to go around the window frame and entrance doorway:

If you live in Amsterdam or are visiting the city and would like to see the installation you can find the restaurant at Sint Jacobsstraat 19 (about 2-3 minutes walk from Dam Square)...
Follow-Up Installation at
​Maccheroni Restaurant
Picture
Earlier this year I did a new installation​ at Maccheroni Restaurant in the east of Amsterdam. It was a follow-up to the mural I did there the previous year and was a commission to paint the borders of the menu boards in the restaurant:

If you live in Amsterdam or are visiting the city and would like to see the installation you can find the restaurant at Wittenburgergracht 143 (about 10 minutes walk east from Centraal Station)...
New Product Range...
Picture
I've also been working on a few new product ranges including stickers, tobacco tins, and up-cycled furniture...
Stickers
Picture
Something I've been meaning to create for a while has been a range of stickers and last year I finally got round to creating some designs and getting them printed...

"Boiling Square" Sticker

Tobacco Tins
Picture
I've also been working on creating a range of tobacco tins featuring a variety of different styles and designs.

There are 2 different ranges at the moment, one featuring some original designs and another featuring the 3 X's of the Amsterdam flag:

Up-Cycled Furniture
Picture
Every week in the Netherlands people leave all the furniture and items they no longer want or need outside their homes which offers the perfect opportunity for up-cycling these unwanted items into art:

Up-Cycled Table "The World from Above"

Unwanted Stools Rescued from the Street...

Turning Junk into Art - "Turntable Stool"
Have already up-cycled a number of items but am running out of space at the moment - as soon as I have more storage space for the new pieces then there will be more pieces of furniture like this to come... ;)
New Online Platforms...
Picture
I've got 2 new online platforms that I'm going to be using in 2020 - one of them is a YouTube Channel where I'm planning on creating a series of live art videos, and an Online Shop on Etsy featuring original artwork, prints, gift items and more...
Live Art Video Channel
In 2020 I'm going to be making some more Live Art Videos for the YouTube Channel, and may even get some audience participation involved too...

Click on the video below for an example of some live art in progress:
(For 1080 High Definition Select HD at the Bottom of the Video)
There are only a few videos on the channel at the moment but if you want to check them out now then click here: Michael Carlton Art on Youtube
Online Shop on Etsy
Picture
I'm also going to be launching a new online shop on Etsy that will feature original artwork (including paintings, drawings, furniture), prints, gift items and more.

I'll be aiming to add new creations to the shop regularly and fill it with lots of new items throughout 2020...

At the moment there are a few items in each category in the shop (drawings, paintings, prints etc.) and I'm currently working on a new collection of pieces to launch the shop officially in Feb/March time...

Click below to visit the new shop and keep an eye open for an email in a few weeks time when the shop will be officially launched: Michael Carlton Shop on Etsy
