It's finally finished!

I'm still alive... some more work in progress!

2012-01-16T09:30:00.001-08:00

(The second work in progress photo of hipster girl)

So after a long Christmas break I am starting to get back into work again. The first thing I want to do is complete the hipster girl image I started last year, and then after that complete a commission that is sprinkled with poppies.

Other projects I would like to do this year would be to do a series of work based upon a theme. I'm thinking circus, masks, flower meanings or Rococo...too much choice it seems! I would also like to collaborate with some fellow illustrators... so if you're reading this and are interested don't hesitate to get in contact.

Work In Progress- Hipster

The Imaginary Beings Exhibition

2011-10-12T07:54:00.000-07:00

So last weekend on the 8th October my work was included with other artist's work in an exhibition at the Devonport Guildhall in Plymouth.

The exhibition included visual art, performances, live music, video and sculpture. All of it breath taking! I am very happy to have been a part of this exhibition, and hope to be included in more like this in my future career. Here are some pictures for you to peruse, better quality scans of the artwork should be up soon.

Wu Xing Sketches

2011-05-16T11:40:00.000-07:00

Sorry this blog has been lacking in posts recently, I have been working really hard for my final major project. But I have 5 minutes spare to show you what I've been upto. My final major project is on Wu Xing, the Chinese movements..or elements as we would call them in the Western world. There are five all together; Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal and Water. I'm doing an image for each. Each of the movements have their own things associated with them and I have have tried to include that in each image.

These are almost finished sketches:

Metal- Its heavenly creature is the White Tiger.
Water- Its heavenly creature is the Black Tortoise, which is a tortoise and a snake riding its back.
Fire- Its heavenly creature is the Vermillon Bird.

Two more to do this evening. PHEW. Alot of work and research have gone into this project so hopefully the finals will come out how I want them to!!!!

If you want to know more about Wu XIng I would highly suggest you google it, it is an extremely interesting topic.

Bristol Artists Book Event (BABE) 2011

2011-05-02T10:10:00.000-07:00

So I was at BABE (If you don't know what BABE is I highly suggest you google it :D) this weekend on Saturday to sell some of my work that was at the event for both the Saturday and the Sunday. I had a really good time and I even managed to sell some of my work! I won't know the exact figures till tomorrow, but it has made me extremely happy to know that complete strangers like my work.

For BABE I decided to make necklaces with my illustrations in them. These took forever to make, and a lot of trial and error went into them. I even made the boxes entirely by hand and the velvet cushions on which they were presented. I also decided to put together some 'goodie bags' that contained one high quality 8 x 10 photographic print of 'Prepubescent', a postcard of 'Zara' and a keyring with one of either 'Prepubescent' or 'Zara'.

Photograph by Alistair Nimmo

I had such a good time whilst I was there, and all the work that was at BABE was gorgeous. I definitely want to do it again in two years time, so I'll have to get the cogs turning for what I'll want to make in two years time :)

I'm aware that I don't post that often so I am going to promise to post more sketches and updates on my work throughout 2011.

Here are a few sketches I have been doing for University. I've been doing a project based on the theme of Metamorphosis, under this theme I have been concentrating on the theme of Puberty. It's been really fun so far, and now I have moved onto thumb-nailing the final pieces and am planning on doing 3 finals. I have also been experimenting on wood, which has turned out very well so far, so its looking like the finals will be on wood!!! :D
