future in the fairway

This is an illustration of putting the decorative gore into life style part of my side projects i have on going at the mo and like the idea of applying a pastel colour scheme i have gridded to the image to allow it to be easy on the eye but deceiving by the dead man on the green. This is a fun style in decorative gore i enjoy creating of miss leading the viewer giving them a second needed look to allow them to be taken in by the imagery of having a disguise brought on by the pastel bland colours.

Feather

Feather

here is a feather i have drawn to start off my on-going ideas for pushing imagery but also applying a new found fun for vector and that this drawing is the first of my new ideas for possible tatoo ideas for myself pushing visual meaning and imagery to my practice and myself ! This is the idea of putting the old of the Quill but with the spine of a pencil but possibly a pen be more prefured and then having it as a tatoo keeps it in the future for my true love in drawing alive and with me always

Bird in the Tree

Bird in the Tree 

This is a flyer to promote the local music seen but allowing me combine random imagery i associated by listen to these bands. This is what i got. A Bear/Dog/Wolf in sweats in a tree in the high of music but again just trying to put imagery to music. This time it was by listen to the music before drawing ad this works but doesn't yell the type of music genre or styles guna be introduced by the bands but upwards and onwards !!!!

Flyer

Flyer

This is a flyer for the local music seen to help keep my illustration alive and to allow me to keep imagery falling out of my mind to paper. This is also allowing me to help keep my side project of bring music and image together which is alot of fun at the moment inbetween the sun and clouds when ever it shows

Transporting The Message

Transporting The Message

This is a illustration the first of many of small side project i am drawing putting text to image allowing these two message to work together. The subject is to draw music to successfully draw this together. This is one of the hardest things to draw and gets questioned by creatives all the times so i am going to work on this for awhile as a side project to improve my drawing awareness to successfully draw music in imagery.

Frame The Plane

Frame The Plane

Brink in London

Brink on Brick Lane

 

Brink

This was a show in London called Brink to help show case Bournemouth Arts final previous students projects and mine was based on Aviation. This show allowed me to have a public London viewing base to help start my illustration practice get off the ground and enjoyed the response's i got from the viewers.

I was doing the London thing of living up in London for the week while the show was on and went in every day and placed out my business cards, paper planes and stickers to allow more people to take something away with them to help show case myself. The show was a complete success and  i understand what i need to do to help push my practice forward and the type of finish the industry demands and likes for a good exhibition. This then will allow me to have a happy successful viewing session from the audience allowing the work to be at its greatest potential for the possible clients and agents to have interest in my work exhibited.

The Wright Flyer 

This is the final outcome of my Degree show at

Bournemouth Arts of pursuing my interests in Aviation to design a Zeen based on the Wrights Brother's success of making the first man powered craft. To then make a Bi-Plane the YJE-42 inspired by there craft but in modern commercial times of today to take a photo shoot to draw into of having three final prints to exploit the success and the fun flight has given us in all its magnificence.

Business Cards

             

Business Cards

i made business cards to allow viewers, agents and possible clients

to see my web site and contact me to allow contact for possible work and information.

the cards are printed with a bird on the front to allow the card to be viewed at any angle and still be the same as it is mirrored. Then on the back is the contact info following the design scheme from my web site to allow them to flow together having the same style.

Divergence
This is a stop animation about the divergence of a character called Doba El' Pop that is a Mexican fighter. I the animation he looses his title of being the best Lucha Libre in the world and he gets completely owned by the other fighter. He goes onto new dreams and becomes a Sailor, a Farmer and then an old man that then dies. The piece is about the divergence of life's dream's but this was to depressing for me to spend time animating so i turned the idea around. I added the underlining meaning of; even tho your life is falling apart always look towards new dreams and live your life to the full. Above the animation their is development work of the paper cut outs and drawings i used to make this short story
Hope you enjoy my work.

Party Bags

For my up comming shows at Arts University Collage Bournemouth Degree Show 2011 and Brink in the T1 building on Brick Lane, London shows i have made party bags from 100% cotton and screen printed clouds on and put a body of work together to help show case my self for up and comming clients. This is a fun way to promote myself and my practice giving me a chance to collect have some contacts from these shows.

Paper Jukebox draws at Surf-X

A stop motion picture of the Paper Jukebox collective drawing and creating live art on the beach of Bournemouth allowing a good public audience seeing what we do. Drawing in the sun by the sea with pens and paint what could be better. Me and Holly did a contact board of many different elements of drawings of beach themes with some different crazy illustrations added in for fun finishing with one added colour to each to allow it to stand out.
