Whilst I'm still on my nostalgia trip, here is a photo from a project I did when I was at Brighton College of Art.
I was fascinated with the art of Disney movies, and particularly with the Multiplane camera that gave movies like Snow White and Pinnochio a stunning sense of depth.
I created my own multiplane set-up by painting the central action on an acetate cel, and the foreground and background elements on watercolour paper. Then I raised the various planes a few inches away from each other by jamming them in between piles of books on my desk. Lastly I lit the scene in different ways using anglepoise lamps, and took lots of photographs.
I'll try to find a coloured version and I'll post that too.
There's a bit of a creepy flavour to some of my work from those days. I don't know what was going on in my head.

Wonderful! And I love the multi-plane technique.
Thanks so much Christine.
Of course it can all be done so easily with Photoshop now
All the best

Looks great as it is - it's always about tonal values, not colour. I like the contrast, the boldness of it. More of the same Mr Lynch please
Many thanks Ciaran
