hey, im doing an art project at the mo about music and musicians and art and crap (it was a very vague project) and im concentrating on the Opie portraits from the best of album at the mo. Does anyone know any more details eg does Opie know Blur personally? where are the pics now? why did he blow them up really big on a wall for a show in tokyo? anything really. links etc....
ok, so im too lazy to research for myself. but help me if you can!

I like those PIX. I didnt at first, but they really grew on me. You can get a little bit of information at: http://www.lisson.co.uk/theArtists/Opie/julianopie.html
If you want to ask him questions personally then you can email him through this site too, I think.

cool, thanks. oh my god I am so bored of the holidays! They start off so well, then you realise that soon you will actually have to do all that work and go back to school. Not helped by the fact that I haven't done any work since my exams in May. And I get the fucking results of the fucking stupid AS levels which are going to be worthless on Thursday. fun.

Argh I know what you mean about how holidays start off great and then crappen. I've just got back from one hell of a hazardous holiday, and I've realised I lost my French homework, on top of everything else. This doesn't help as I remember getting a very, very long list... But any way, about Opie, there's a short article on him I have and I can type it up if you want. I don't think it links him with Blur much, though, so is there any point?

Nah, it's alright. I'm sure i can find enough off the net to fill up a couple of pages in my sketchbook! oh shit i have 4 days left before i go on holiday, and then its back to school. Maybe I should stop pissing around on the net and start working? nah, cant be arsed.
