london 2012

we were set a task to design a series of posters for an imaginary advertising brief to encourage people to cycle to the olympics. i've enjoyed working with stamps recently so uset lino to make larger stamps than previously. the colours were chosen to coincide with the horrible 2012 logo, i usually wouldnt work with these kind of bright colours. i really enjoyed making and stamping the detail of the buildings

the end is nigh

short group animation project. i worked with the lovely Marin Matsuo and Dawn Smit and we produced a short animation on overpopulation. these are some stills, i will add the link as soon as we have uploaded it. the images are made on photoshop using scanned individual stamped pictures of the small buildings. it was great fun to produce and i'm quite pleased with it! collaborations are fun!

obsession

so we might have a little 'zine on sale soon. a collaboration of some of the many talented illustrators in our class. and there will be some postcards too. a bit of a multipack kind of thing going on. anyway, theme is 'obsession' so of course, first thing to spring in to my mind was food! i do love food. its true. and categorising things, only unnecessary things. and organising them into pointless grids. i do like grids. its very difficult to draw anything not into some form of grid at the moment. and it will be screen printed! i do also like screen prints. mmm categorised food grid screen print...

wallpaper

the beginnings of a wallpaper design for a recent project. these are just part of a draft, in my final the building are collaged with small stamped pictures of tanks and bullets and planes and other such weaponry that from a distance just look like tiles and wooden panelling. we were asked to design a wallpaper based on two conflicting character traits, mine were 'overt' and 'covert'. mine was a comment on the military background of our country.

bus bus bus bus

Here is a little flick book i made, based upon my experiences of this summer. essentially my experiences were just commuting all summer to and from work. not hugely inspiring, but this piece is intended to reflect the repetitive nature of travel, and the build up of stress involved in it. the busses and trains are made using handmade rubber stamps.

shoesies

so here are lots of little shoes i drew for a graphic novel project due in soon. it is not about shoes, they feature only very briefly but i got quite distracted. turns out little shoes are lots and lots of fun to draw. good stuff

Teeny Tiny Town House

This is my dream house. London town house, beautiful. I've been working in central London all summer, had very little time to draw but here is a very little drawing of a rather grand house.
