My new book "MILK" available on Blurb

MILK Dirk Larsen by Dirk Larsen | Make Your Own Book

Pay per View Art with the Larsen Art Viewer

This is my introduction of Pay to View Art. It costs either £1 or 1 Euro per view. This system works like a piggy bank. All those people who always said "If only we had the money to buy one" , now have their chance to contribute each and every time they choose to look at one of your art works. You will no longer have to sell work to earn money from it. You can now buy your very own Larsen Art Viewer for displaying either your own work, or other peoples'.

 Coin slot for £1 coins, handle and instructions

 The doors are made to be self-closing, so they will shut unless you hold them open.

 Every Larsen Art Viewer has a unique enameled metal "Larsen" badge.

The interior can be simply changed to provide any background you may want. In this case I've chosen a partial mirror covering. They can be anything from plain white, gold leaf, sand, steel or even knitted. It depends what suits your work.

This standard lamp is made from soldered wire, tracing paper, dyed linen, oil paint, aluminium and lace. There are two sources of light in it. One is a flickering red light within the structure of the cut-out church/mosque, and the other, a sixty watt bulb, shines out of the side toward the wall behind the lamp. The figures inside represent Mary holding baby Jesus, and a Joseph who appears to be supporting the cup of the reflector inside.
It measures 180 x 50 cms aproximately.

The first is Cat-Scratch (A3 size) in oil on card and tracing paper. The second is My Morzine, in oil on linen canvas, double A3 size.

My Little Aspasia - A3 size, in oil on card and tracing paper, with a little light blow-torch.

All Faith Jug

This Jug is for all Faiths. I've tried to ensure it contains the logos of everything from Muslim, Christian, Jewish to Pagan. It is made from tracing paper, wire, liquin, oil paint, ink, wood and an articulated model of Captain Kirk, covered in milliput, that I bought from a model shop. You may have to look hard for him, as he's hiding at the back inside. All you can clearly see of him is his hand.
