The Artwork Of Mark Rennie

"Rooted in the dark side of folklore and mythology, I try to create intense, laboriously crafted imagery, which draws on influences such as historical accounts of 20th century arctic explorers, depression-era deep south USA, natural selection, grey Aberdeen winters, and strange, unexplainable phenomena."

ye mind that time i spent 9 months building a box diorama. I'm not ever going to shut up about it...

[markrennie86]

Okey okey, I lied, this is the last i'll be posting tonight... It was part of a story I came up with onvolving a dememted sea captain who turns into a cannibal and starts imagining/seeing this strange beautiful woman only known to him as the "duchess" and he will do anything for her... I like telling stories. I will follow up this project, and many others in the future. for now....back to building more box dioramas.

Last post of the evening, a drawing from a series I started and never finished (might go back to it one day) all based on the planets of the solar system and how they link with greek/roman mythology. This is "Mars", I also did an illustration for "Mercury" as well and started one for "Saturn" My friends musical project picked up on the "Mercury" design but I still have the originals, again, all for sale...gimme a message and we'll talk pricing and that. Cheers

This is a photo etching I did back at art school, I can't actually take credit for the image itself (can't even remember where I found it) but I am pretty happy with the texture behind it and how it works with the image. It's got a nice blue hue to it due to the way I mixed the ink...because I'm a printmaker and all.... if anyone wants it, it's for sale e-mail me or message me on here or find me on facebook or something...we can discuss further if theres any takers.

So here it is, finally some slightly better pictures of this box diorama I went and built. This is the first if five, it took 9 months to illustrate all the parts and construct it. it's about 13cm deep (13 layers) and is effectively for sale also, but not for cheap...given the time and work I put into this and the fact I do want to use it for an exhibition, I really can't ask any less than £300 for it. Anyway, I promised some better pictures to show this piece and here they are. Suck on that ;) x

A T-shirt design I did for local doom/punk band, Absolutist. Original drawing for sale if anyone wants it....it's around A4 sized, maybe slightly larger. If interested, message me at [email protected] and we can discuss it further. Every single piece of work I make is for sale so if you are interested in anything, don't be afraid to ask. This is generally the only income I have.

Another horrifying image from the shoot...

[markrennie86]

Over a year and a half ago I gathered a group of friends to make a film/projection that would accompany my artwork and drone project. I put the project down and never managed to get a hold of decent video editing software and found it hard gathering people together who would be up for taking part in it. I plan to pick  this project up again pretty soon and would like to know if anyone would be available maybe later in the year, around autumn time perhaps, that could help me out. This is a photograph from the shoot at Ury house which I fear may not be accessible for much longer, featuring Nathan Young dressed like a fucking nightmare in autumn/winter 2011.
