Pick Me Up

On the 2nd May me and my University went to Pick Me Up in London to view other peoples work to get inspiration. The gallery showing was expensive but it was worth the money. It really opens your eyes to how other people work, what materials they use and techniques. What also helped that the artists were there and you were able to interact with them and get contacts for the future. Here are some pieces of work that caught my eye.

Foxxy Love

At University we have quite an open brief called 'Surprise' and i have a number of ideas which all include a fox and so I am examining the way foxes look and stand and features of a fox. Here are some doodles and I am drawn.

There will be more to come. keep checking my blog for more Foxxy Love and other animals I may include.

Yo ho ho it's Magic, you know.

Just a little promotion for a quite big DJ and a great friend. He is a great DJ who uses and creates a wide range of music and there is truly a song for everyone. It would be great if you could support such an amazing artist by listening to as many songs as you like.

Foxes and rabbits

For today's lesion I done some mono printing. It had been well over two years since exploring mono printing and I have realised I am not as good as I used to be.

To do monoprinting I rolled oli paint onto some wood to make an even thin layer of paint. I then used some really nice Chinese paper which has a lovely soft texture and has very light feel to it. I placed it ontop of the ink lightly and tried not to put any pressure on the paper other wise it will leave a mark. I then drew out my designs which printed onto the other side.

I liked my outcome but tend to use a rubber a lot which is my flaws in these kind of prints.

Here are a couple I done.

Awkward Printer.

For my 'Walking in my Mind' project, I decided to create a screen print using an illustration I drew called 'Awkward Sleeper'

(only a rough copy. I had to hand in the original illustration/ drawing)

The process I used to create this screen print was by transferring my image onto a screen by using a light thing (I can't remember the name). After I had to get a squeegee and paint and had to firmly scrape the paint over the screen to create a crisp outline. (sorry for the lack of knowledge)

One eyed beauty

So I started drawing a random lady and it started out really well...

I then got scared and didn't draw the other eye...

I finally got to the end and attempted to draw the eye 4 times and could not match it up. She shall forever be a one eyed beauty. 

One Idea From Another.

For my new brief I have been drawing dreams that  have had in the past and started drawing out these little cute characters. Where I have based them around myself I would love to develop and explore with them into something bigger and better. I feel that they would be great to be little fashion illustrations.

These Images are only rough drawings and are not finished!
