Come Stay At Hotel Monster

Grand Hotel, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. Photo taken by Julia Whitley of Harrogate Signs



I love this photo-doodle! I think the colours work really nicely.

I did a little competition on twitter recently that Julia won, winning herself a print of this. It will be in the post!

I'm gonna do another comp, all you have to do to enter is tweet a location you'd like to see doodled on, tweet location to @philwallart also include #projectphotodoodle. The winner gets a free signed print.

Street of Sighs

Colonia del Sacramento, Colonia, Uruguay. Photos taken by Sofia Aguerre






Some words sent to me from Sofia, about the history surrounding the street in the photos;

"This place is called "La calle de los suspiros" (Street of sighs). There are several stories about this street. One of them is that the sentenced to death were taken to that street to drown when the tide rise. Another story tells that in the street, there were a lot of brothels where the sailors had fun, and the prostitutes sighed for them. The last and most told here is about a young girl who was waiting for her lover, when suddenly, a masked man thrust a dagger into her chest. The "sigh" was her last sigh...I've been to Colonia just once, two year ago, and it's a beautiful place."


Thank you Sofia for these photos!

Thank You For Fying With MonsterJet Hairyplanes

This one was taken on the way to Alcudia in Mallorca, Spain. Travelling from Leeds/Bradford airport, on a Boeing 747. It was taken above mountains, somewhere over Spain. I took this one myself for a change, with my phone.




Just got back from a nice relaxing holiday, so the monsters at Project Photo Doodle were also on a short break (hope you didn't miss us too much!). My wife got loads of great photos of our holiday, so I'll do a 2 part blog as soon as I've got some of them doodled on! I've also got quite the backlog of emails to sort out.

The 'Love Arts Leeds' postcard exhibition that I'm part of, is now on at the Leeds Art Gallery, in the Art Space (near the shop). The postcards are great, go have a look if you're in town.




More photos of my postcard and info about the exhibition on the previous blog.

Hello There Mr Bug...

River Don, Aberdeen, Scotland. Photo taken by Hannah Forsyth.



I've not done many close up on nature type photos, a perfect opportunity to add a little beastie, and err, a bigger beastie. The big guys just saying "hiya", but the little fella looks a bit worried.

Hide and Seek

Sydney, Australia. An Abandoned WWII coastal defence battery at Malabar.

Another from the collaboration with Luke Martinelli (from Sydney).



I think this photo is an incredible shot. I usually know exactly what I want to do with an image when I look at it, when I looked at this my imagination went crazy! So many different ideas went through my mind.

Big, massive thanks to Luke for the photos!

I do like visiting York. Shame I couldn't be there yesterday as well, but enjoyed doodling on these photos. Thanks Hayley! There's more to come!
