Red Drapes

Red Drapes - Reflection from Evan Pugh on Vimeo.

"Red Drapes are a four-piece band currently situated in London, England. Their Melancholic sound and strong lyrical emphasis takes influence from post-punk and new wave bands of the '80s, The Smiths, Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen and The Cure."

I met Red Drapes in July last year whilst I was showing my film "Insomniac" at the Free Range Art Show on Brick Lane in London. We like each other's work so we have started a collaboration which will hopefully develop further. The content of the paintings below has grown from my personal interpretations of their music; particularly the words and atmosphere of "Reflection". They are based on photographs I originally took in Morecambe; a seaside resort town in the North West of England.

An oldie but a goodie

i've had this photo knocking about for ages, its been used on flyers for a band i was in, i've done a series of painting on it and i've used it recentley for a as a location for a bigger shoot, i don't quite know why it works but people seem to like it.

Tea Dance

This is a trailer for my degree film "Tea dance" which I'm in the midst of filming. The film will explore what loneliness is to the people in the film and how the tea dance gives them companionship amongst other things. The two characters focused on in the film are Jim & May who work together to run the tea dance and with Jim soon turning 89 the future of the all important dance is unsure. But even though it's -as May said- "dying" the dance is still beautiful.

A Grim Day Out.

I went to Blackpool about 3 months ago. i hadn't been since i was about 10 and i had loads of fond memories of the place. nothing pisses on these fond memories more than going to Blackpool out of season in 2010. grim is not the word.
