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!!

HIFEST

I am doing a live brief with a festival called 'HIFEST' 

"On Saturday 6th December 2014 HiFest (Hastings Illustration Festival) will showcase amazing, illustrative talents both locally and nationally, through stalls, special guests, talks, workshops, signings and exhibitions."

We have been asked to design a leaflet to hand out involving the word 'HI'

It would be great if you would check out the website and the event. keep an eye out for any updates and feel free to come along where you can meet great illustrators.

Thanks.

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.

Development in the Prints.

I have recently been experimenting with screen printing and sketched up a design that fits with my my development work. these were done over 2-4 weeks and i feel that you can really see a difference in technique and quality.
