Dear Lino,

Well, the deadline for the Nautical Nonsense passed, rendering my work a Naughty Non-submission, but I shall persevere.

the third year fear...

I'm working on a competition brief called "Nautical Nonsense" (thisissomething.co.uk) So, a lot of playing about. Here is some of my development work created with lino printing, paper cutting and a touch of computer editing...


I worked on the design of this book with Pencil Ltd. earlier in the year and finally have a copy. I did mostly photoshoping images and laying out in Indesign.



This is an illustration I did 3 years ago and then reworked recently, it will be published soon in a book called 'Pioneers of British Rail' or something.

Lino Prints for Tukan Theatre

These toucans have been a bit of a labour of love, I have really enjoyed creating my 10 prints, each a little different to each other, I hope Tukan Theatre like them.

Summer BODY of work!

SO...

I have been having a fab summer here in Bournemouth, I have a job working on a temporary tattoo stall on the sea front, here are some henna and Jagua tattoos that I have done at work:




I also bought some chairs, took them apart, sanded and painted them, put them back together and gave them to mum for her birthday!
These particular chairs are similar to one that she inherited from her father (but lost to a dodgy lodger) so I wanted to replace it for her, unable to find the exact chair, I got tall stools to go under her new kitchen breakfast bar. Useful!

Cycling back from work, Bournemouth gardens were all aglow, with videos of Glasto' lighting up the deck chairs.

Red Dress

I made it out of a pair of charity shop cotton curtains

Toucan play at that game

Working with the Technicolour Moon boys for an illustration installation at Bournemouth event: The Block Party.
Here are some of my scribbles on the side of a fridge, and me and Krishna did the bed side table:

Further investigation into the world of stop frame animation

Yes that is whipped cream.

'Experimental Typography' workshop resulted in my poster for the Air Festival, using whipped cream, ribbon, icing sugar and photography. Some Photoshop and InDesign know-how came in handy too. Students from Illustration, Graphic Design and Visual Communication each made a poster for different tourist attractions in Bournemouth.

Animation?

Playing about with plasticine and my new camera.

Time out from essay writing

I did a drawing yesterday for a girl on fashion, it's going to be screen printed onto a scarf.
I call it: Shattered. Good night.

Line drawing on the train

Homeward, for a weekend with the family. Celebrating Mothers Day and my sister's birthday, these are the cards I made them:

O, what a tangled web we weave...

Narrative Final Piece

Knitting Animation Stills

Burning Knit

Narrative

I'm using knitting as a metaphor for telling a story, and dropping stitches for telling lies that make the story not add up.. then I might have a snake coming through the holes, and pulling the threads to expose the lies and ruin the knit and therefore the reputation of the storyteller as it all becomes a shambles. Here is my first sketch and a scan of my knitted shamble:

A card I made yesterday:

Berlin

Spent a brilliant week in snowy Berlin, I'll post a few sketches and photos over the next few days.This is the screen print that I bought from Supalife Kiosk (www.supalife.de) I love it.

Wild Animals

My final project of year one illustration, 3 screen printed pieces.Yes, that is Gordon Brown guarding my money.

House of illo

Started at Stitch, finished in bed.

A Visual Explanation of Language

I have explored what language means to us, asking others to do the same and kept video and audio records of my research.


I don't think that there is a conclusion, its an exploration, there is no answer to what language is, and if there is i am not qualified to judge it, but i wanted to explore how we use language in our different relationships, and how it benefits our life and how communication changed over time.
I'm happy with what I have produced, it's a little rough around the edges but it directly references my research, this is all first hand material.
