Camo Works...
Original Art by Swifty

When addict commissioned me to design a bespoke camo pattern for them I was suddenly launched into camo madness!

The leafy shapes made from the letters A_D_D_I_C_T started me on a mission to produce more camo inspired works. But rather than do more Mac based work I was itching to get back to my old art school days and do some one off original pieces. So here for the first time in print are some snippets of the work produced over the last year.

Inspired by Duchamp’s “Readymades”, Lichtenstein’s Dots and Pollocks drips, Abstract and Pop Art. Mixed up with my
childhood memories of playing with Action Man and Airfix Kits that made me think “was that how i got into camo!”

With all that long behind me - and visions of war long since gone the camo obsession has continued, leading me to believe there’s more to this than the military application. It’s all there man, for you to see and divulge! As ever in true Swifty ‘sampling’ stylee my inspirations are there for all to discover.
