I am the dancer ,with his six fools (mixed media)


This image is inspired by the 'Hall of mirrors'tale THE GREEN MAN .As i've said before most of the images you'll find on the blog can be found in the user gallery at www.mikebennettpodcast.com
This image ,however didn't get posted.It is one of two images i produced (the other one is titled'I am the face in the trees) Both take their titles from an old English rhyme ,about the Green Man .
I was trying to combine the feel of Mike's story with the mystery of the rhymes text . I posted the image seen here onto a couple of sites recently ,and it has recieved some good feedback .
So let me know what you think ,and more importantly pop over to Mike's site and listen to The green man !

David Smith has a secret ,his real name is David Flinch.That's all i'm saying !
Visit http://www.mikebennettpodcast.com,to find out what that means for the poor guy.
This image is :David reveals his true identity.(collage)
I used 3 or 4 images of David and Underwood ,which i kept cutting up and arranging until i produced something that i think shows the different sides of David's personality.
Anyway listen to the podcast and judge for yourself!.

ATthe darkest edge :art inspired by mike bennett podcast .






My name is Paul ,i also use the online I.D of THE WATCHMAN .This blog is designed to show artwork created over the last 18 months or so, that has been inspired by either the 'Hall of Mirrors ' or the 'Underwood & Flinch ' podcast .These podcast are written and performed by Mike Bennett and can be found at http://www.mikebennettpodcast.com/ ,or itunes.
So ;first up it's this image

In the hands of the narrator .(pastel on paper)


The narrator will be familiar to any one who listens to Hall of Mirrors .I have tried to depict him as this all knowing being who is ,like a puppeteer ,playing out a scene he has played out a hundred times before . I used pastels to enable me to soften certain areas to give a dreamlike feel . Feel free to comment on the artwork and visit mike's site !
