Sacred Realms

I was asked to create website artwork for a new Fantasy Lingerie company, "Sacred Realms," I'm still in the early stages of the commission, but here's a bit of development drawing!

Amelia's Magazine - La Shark Interview

I've been illustrating for Amelia's magazine again - It's so great to be contributing to a magazine I've admired for a few years now :)

I Illustrated the interview with La Shark's lead singer, Samuel Geronimo Deschamps. La Shark are a quirky funk band, or 'freak pop,' phrased by Aimee O'Neill. The band reminded me on first listen of Adam and the Ants, and with their dress code considered I think this is evident; which I totally approve of, it was great fun to work with!

Editorial is exciting. It's great to be working to quick deadlines, hopefully I'll be doing this more often!

Rob Ryan Work Experience

A couple of weeks ago I had a day in the life of Rob Ryan. I had been looking forward to it very much, especially as he is an Illustrator I look up to in terms of craft and practice - his work is so beautiful! Even more so first hand.
I was introduced to both his studios, his main studio where the cut-outs happen and the print studio. Everywhere was littered with prints and rob ryan branded mugs, plates, sellotape, kitchen tiles.. it was so tiny but bursting with life.

I had such a fun day, cutting out from one of his latest paper cuts, and making badges for his shop marking his Ryantown 2 year anniversary, as well as running errands. It was so exciting to witness his London Studio first-hand, the ins and outs of what it was like to be an Illustrator.

All of his lovely work can be seen here at www.misterrob.co.uk

Awesome.

Happy Birthday.

I've had a lot of birthdays recently in my calendar and I always love making birthday cards, here are a couple!
I seem to be collecting a lot of wrapping paper and hoarding offcuts, I now have boxes full of paper, maybe it's getting out of hand!

In other news I'm doing more fashion Illustration for an open brief which I'm going to post up here soon.
It's nice to be doing drawing again :)

Chaos Theory Animation

I have finally completed my animation for the Divergence brief.
2/3 weeks of stop motion and it is finally over, it's been a steep learning curve, as I've learnt a lot from after effects, making sure the tripod is set up correctly, lighting etc all had to be considered. As well as the actual medium I was using. The origami paper was very fun to work with, especially with the vibrant colours! It was just a little time consuming creating all the different characters/scenes but I don't mind at all, I think it's been fun! :)
