New Templates  Please feel free to download and print these new templates for the harbour project to use as you wish. I feel that it is important to focus on issues such as poverty, the housing crisis, homelessness, refugees and displacement. By making these templates available I hope they will be used in a creative way that highlights those important humanitarian occurrences that are a common global concern. 

Templates to download  These first 3 templates are now available to download direct from this post, just click on the image select save/download and print as many copies as you wish. The first template is left blank for you to use as creatively as you like and the other 2 feature a bold monochromatic abstract based on my own work. I will be adding more over the next few months as the project evolves. I would appreciate it If you could subscribe to this blog then you will be kept informed of all updates and new templates. You can email to let me know that you are interested in contributing to the artwork. tirels.harbour@gmail.com

I've been sending out a lot of the #harbour templates, so thought I'd work on one of them myself today to maybe inspire others to get creative. The continuing problem of #plastic_waste dumped in our oceans is something that I wanted to draw attention to with this example, the small discs of plastic are made from beach collections or from recycling bins, once complete I will form this into the house model, take it to the beach (in front of the beach huts) and take the photographs that will become the first ones of the new Harbour project. I will post updates later. Hope this inspires ! #dantirels #ocean_clean #Pass_on_Plastic #beachtidy If you would like to join this project and recieve one of the blank templates to download please visit the website http://dantirels.co.uk/ dantirels.co.uk or simply just email : tirels.harbour@gmail.com  

Final template design should be available for download next week. This is a blank template that has been created for personal creative input for the project. The sample shown here was created with acrylic paint and charcoal.

I've been trying out the location photographs for the project, I like the creative possibilities for this project, it has many ways to interpretate the theme, I'm hoping it inspires many diverse contributions in the same way the #FLEET project evolved.

Testing the template for the project, I have decided to simplify the design of this model and will try out a few basic design layouts before making them available to download.

I've just been working on the template for the project, apart from a few technical issues this seems to be working OK. I will continue to work on these and should have them ready to download next week to get the #harbour project on the way.
