A Sense of Place

For our most recent project we had the choice of a place to research and create a project about it.
I chose Cafe Nero and here is a sneak peek of what i have developed so far...

Batch Project.

My last brief has definitely been my favourite brief as it has allowed me to go back to my roots of fashion. I really enjoy drawing out obscure figures with the exaggerated legs and neck and adding simple detail to the clothing.

I decided to make a 'Paper Doll' but out of wood, so kind of a Wood Doll? The reason I chose wood was because it has a beautiful texture that you can varnish or sand paper to manipulate the appearance easily. Another was to keep my model accessible to everyone and not discriminating by using different ethnicities. 

I got my friend to model for me as she is 'real' girl which can give a healthy body image to the younger audience. I used my favourite media on this and screen printed her onto the wood.

I decided to draw out high end brands like Chanel, McQueen, Parda etc. which I loved doing as these high end brands have distinctive detail to make you thing 'Ahh, thats Dolce and Gabbana' 

The final designers I chose were: Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Prada and Vivienne Westwood. I also made an Alexander McQueen page for when people buy the doll they can then buy a sheet of clothing that they can print off.

Here is my outcome!!

Americas Next Top Illustrator?

I hade a banner for my blog inspired by Americas Next Top Model.  Here it is with out the writing.

Hope you like it.

Stop Bugging Me

Over the summer we were given a brief where we looked at collections. I have a lot of collections, some normal and some a bit nerdy examples, Pokemon card collections, Pokemon toy collection, Pokemon Pog collection, Comic Books, DVDs, CD ect.
I thought that my collections we not interesting enough for my liking so i started looking into more creepy and weird collections and found some 'interesting' things. There is someone with the worlds larges 'love doll' collection, belly button fluff, hot sauce ect. I then stumbled upon Ed Gein and his awkward body part collection. I then started looking at Horror movies and found a couple had something in common… Bugs… there is a collection of drawings from a collection...

Exhibition Time

I decided to set up an exhibition for my classes work for some experience and to show students what the illustration course is like.

The Fox and the Wolf is back for business!

For the past 3-4 months I had been working and developing on a simple piece that could potentially be sold on. This is my final piece. 

I  am very please with my outcome and how much my skill of printing has developed and improved. There are still areas that I would like to improve but over all I am proud of what I have developed.

I am also selling these and there are 6 to be sold. If you are interested in buying one please contact me and we can discus a price.

Skulk of Foxes

A while ago I crated this print of foxes and decided to develop it further.

I thought about how i could develop this further and thought that it would make a nice repeated pattern. I thought along the lines of wrapping paper and decided to print it onto news paper paper...

I am ecstatic with the outcome and wish I could of developed it a lot further and improved this. I feel it could of been an a lot strong print if I planned it properly and had more time.

Odd Animal Couples

I randomly watched a documentary called 'Odd Animal Couples' and it inspired me to draw the ones that stood out for me (there was a lot). I decided to also add water colours to my illustrations and felt that the softness of the water colours complements the mood of the images. IT makes them less angry and more calm and peaceful. 

                      

I am very happy with there outcomes and would love to develop them at a later date.
