a weekend of disco.....

2010-09-02T19:47:00.009+01:00

......d.i.s.c.o filled the airwaves last weekend as the disco ducks hit the town of Ramsgate, not once but twice. The first was the disco-duck-oteque I set up as part of opening my studio to the public - they shaked their little tailfeathers good and proper!

The following day they were out in force, 200 in fact for the 'hook-a-disco-duck' event. These were special Disco Ducks created during workshops with the local community, one super glitterama was secretly picked as the 'diva' duck and whoever hooked this special one ducky won a prize. The boating pool had never looked so pretty!
Disco-duck-oteque of dreams.

The one I created!

Ducks taking over the town......

2010-07-20T18:04:00.002+01:00

.....as part of 'A Summer Squall', Ramsgate Arts Art festival taking place 28th-30th August 2010. On the 30th will be a Hook-a-duck event at the boating....but this is no ordinary hook-a-duck o no sir its Disco Ducks!! Groups across Ramsgate will be creating the most glamourous, glittery Disco Diva Ducks which will be hooked up and ready to be picked. Throughout the festival there will also be a duck display in the east wing of the boating pool - you'll be quackers to miss it! For more details check out the Ramsgate Arts website: http://www.ramsgatearts.org

a lovely find....

2010-06-29T20:29:00.001+01:00

....ok so this isn't my own work but it is a lovely, beautifully illustrated rubber duck story that i had to share with you. enjoy.

DISCO SQUIRREL - ARE YOU NUTS?!!...

2009-12-03T15:55:00.004Z

2009-07-27T17:16:00.003+01:00

DUCKS HIT THE STREET!

2009-07-05T21:14:00.006+01:00

funky ducks...

2009-02-25T09:00:00.007Z

..you may remember a while back that i had made some protype ducks out of clay which i was hoping to make with children. Well, in the last few weeks I have indeed been helping to make some fantastic ducks - theres been football ducks, highland cow ducks, geek ducks and rockstar ducks. Here are some photos of just a few of their creations.......

DISCO DISCO DUCK!

2009-02-11T17:55:00.002Z

..here is my latest facepainting video, this time mixing in with ray Steven's classic 'disco Duck'.

more is more....

2008-12-20T15:45:00.004Z

...and there is nothing wrong with that!!!

i have been beavering away creating a kitsch disco duck (if they aren't enough already!!) for a christmas present. Now this is a bigger duck than what i usually work on so i headed straight for the glitter...yum yum yum! flung on some sequins, gems and more glitter and ta-daaaaaaaaa we have an indulgent duck that won't even blink at a tesco value sausage roll this festive season.

I am unique and don't you forget it!!! My name is Delilah, the deliciously divaish duck. I expect nothing but the best......otherwise........................

TANTRUMS!!!!!!!!!!

stamping of feet, waggling of wings and major fluttering of lashes.

You have been warned!!

ducks for all....

2008-09-16T15:09:00.005+01:00

...to make. Yes, i have been looking into ways of how I can expand my duck empire, and I have come up with a design that enables me to make funky ducks with children. I have slaved away and come up with an example family of ducks and a home for them to have fun in.

rubber duck face!!!

2008-07-23T22:00:00.003+01:00

ok so i do appear to be obsessed with the lovely little characters...so much so that i have face painted one onto myself today.......

i even squeezed a rubber duck for sound effects!!!!!!!!

new new new!!!

2008-07-21T17:20:00.005+01:00

hello there duck lovers!

been busy with my disco ducks as usual, but thought i'd let you see my two new editions given to me for my ever expanding duck family.

this is robo-duck. a hardcore heavy metal money bank. He looks like he would blend in quite nicely in the film metropolis. Hes so hardcore he missing an eye - bless!

the second lovely is called Rio. Shes definintely got a carnival feeling about her pom pom covered persona!!!!

coming soon!!....

2008-04-30T15:46:00.002+01:00

this weekend the margate rocks art festival starts and finishes on the 11th may. Lots of great art to see and theres a craft fair in margate this saturday 10-6pm - and my ducks and fairies will be there - COME SEE!!!

2008-03-20T15:09:00.002Z

hello hello hello!

new disco ducks are up on ebay - 10 days only. you'll be quackers to miss them!!!

what a trooper.....

2008-01-03T16:13:00.000Z

....now unfortunately i can not take any credit for this fantastic duck. This is the creation from the warped mind which is pid, and is my birthday present for last year which i actually recieved at new year!!!anyway...

its genius and it left me speechless (a rare moment)so here it is folks my stormtrooper rubber duckie complete with its own starship - wicked!!

now you're probably thinking yes thats very nice but you can buy them in the shops..which is true and i would love a light up stormtrooper duck but this one is different, you can actually take off the helmet.....

what a handsome duckie :)

and yes i have been sad enough to video it too......

may the force be with you........

flashing and festive!.....

2007-12-13T19:34:00.000Z

well well well lucky you, my second post in one day - you are honoured!!hahaha. anyway, i want to start off with a little video of a duck my mate marty gave me as a christmas present recently.......

awwwwww isn't it sweet, and he fits in rather nicely with his fellow disco ducks.....speaking of which.....
i have added a festive twist to the good ol' disco duck.....

a pair of antlers!!!!!

i have also finished another duck, this time a glittery rainbow duck - a cheeky little duckling which is covered in multi-coloured glitter, a blue feathery tuft....

a rainbow medallion round neck....

and a cheeky heart at the back!

though i do feel there is a slight resemblance with this duck to a certain Mr T!!!!

see for yourself:

OOPS!......

2007-12-13T11:21:00.000Z

....i have told you wrong information about the whereabouts of my poster. It is in fact in Stamford Brook station, eastbound platform.

SORRY!

UNDERGROUND DISCO DUCK....

2007-11-24T19:42:00.000Z

from the 5th December and for 2 weeks only you can see one of my disco duck photos in the london underground. The image has been made up into a 2x3 meter poster which is a part of Art Below's 'new tracks' exhibition, with artist's works appearing in various stations (check out : http://www.myspace.com/artbelow). My poster is going to appear in LANCASTER GATE, CENTRAL LINE, PLATFORM 2, EASTBOUND.

introducing..miss diva duck.

2007-11-03T15:05:00.000Z

As i mentioned in my last post, i have been commissioned to make a diva duck. Well everyone it has been finished and stunning she is too.......with luscious red lips, big black flirty eyelashes and a twinkle in her eyes, she is the epitomy of diva.

ps. i have also put some of the ducks and duck paintings onto ebay, but be quick they finish next weekend - to find them type in rubber duck.

bondage - a new twist.....

2007-10-29T12:54:00.000Z

...following on from the duck paintings i has done a slight twist to the two - ducks and the paintings. Now i have 2.d paintings, inspired by the kitsch flying ducks (see in earlier blog).....

...the wallpaper and ducks have been glittered up to the hilt. These have now led onto incorporating the bondage ducks.........

...i am now working on a special commission duck - diva duck. Expect glitter, glitter and more glitter!

here it is...

2007-08-23T23:51:00.000+01:00

then seal the gaps with pva, attach a beautiful necklace or medillion, place felt on the bottom and tadah!! you have a finished duck and very sticky fingers!!! ha ha!

i have received great feedback from these and have been asked if people want one how do they get hold them: well if you are interested in anything i make then you can email me at:

2005-10-22T14:35:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone and welcome to the tangled web which is my brain.............
i thought i would introduce to you my ducks. In the midst of everything that i do are my ducks which i lovingly create through major surgery. The ones pictured here are my halloween inspired ones-from punky ones to experiments gone wrong! These ducks though do not swim but look great wherever they're placed! I would love to hear feedback.....also keep an eye out for them on ebay too!
