Postmodern

I managed to catch the V&A Postmodernism exhibition on one of its last few days - It was huge - and left me feeling a little confused as to whether I liked the things I saw. Some of the patterns gave me a headache - and yet found their way into my sketchbook!

So I parred down some of the pattern work, pulled the shapes apart and coloured them just a plain, calm black and white (to start) -



I've been playing about with a peony idea and brought the two together.

A4 teacup prints

I have printed a very small 'series' of these, all in different colours / shades of blue.

A piece of Bournemouth


I'm not sure if it is possible to re-capture the shapes, textures (and smell! :s) of this barnacle covered muscle but I have tried my damnedest!

Live Printmaking @ The Big Collab


Paper Jukebox took over a corner of the Sherbert Lounge for The Big Collab on May Day 2011, 
We exhibited our work as well as creating new work in front of crowds of punters!





Four and a half hours later, with a massive pile of stencils, this is my final piece.

Culmination


These images echo human experiences, floating somewhere between wonder and fear in an amazing but inhospitable world.

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.
