A graduate of Sheridan College, David Irvine is a multi-faceted artist that likes to face new challenges and experiment in many different mediums. From painted furniture to bottlecap pins to painted vinyl records, there is never a plateau in his work. He likes to mainly work with pop art imagery as well with low brow and horror themes with a focus on repurposing and reusing materials destined for possible landfill.
About his Work
Vinyl Record Paintings: I paint on damaged or badly worn records. A pushpin through the middle is all that is required to mount on the wall. Themes range from low brow, pop art and horror.
Bottle Cap Pins/Magnets: An image + caption cutout from junkmail, magazines or flyers are inserted into discarded bottlecapas to make a unique pin--usually funny and quirky. Resin (so it looks just like glass) and a pinmount or magnet are added to complete the look. Each pin is unique.
Jarlid Pins: I insert an original painting and resin into a discarded babyfood jarlid and add a pinmount to the back. Themes vary from cute monsters to pop art imagery.
Fine Art: I also do fine art that is framed and range in themes from pop art, low brow to gothic.
Monster-A-Day facebook group: Each day I illustrate and post a new monster. Each piece is 5.5" x 8".
