New House.

I haven't posted for awhile, because i've been really busy with my new job at Pizza hut, which by the way I definately could not do as a career! So I definately need to get going with my Illustration. But having a job has freed up some money, so I bought some screenprinting equipment, which set me back quite alot of money but it has definately worth it! Below is a picture of our conservatory in our new house, which has been turned into a studio for me, Poppy and Erin. 

The screenprinting has been very trial and error, I had to coat three screens before I got the right consistancy, and exposed them properly, but finally Ive managed to create some successful images.

My first image I created with my new screen printing kit is based on my previous ideas I had in foundation about Bad Egg v.s Good Egg. I collaged some backgrounds to print on because I really liked the designs I did in my last project. I've got some more images on the same screen to print so watch this space...

Poppys Chickens.

Poppy now works at a garden centre where chickens run around the cafe. I think she could use this to her advantage!

New Idea for a Book..

Basically guys I need some help. Im creating a book for my mum to send to schools. She and her friend Mike teach climbing to children. They rent a climbing wall at my dads school and then other school can come and use it.The idea of this book is it teaches children that you can use climbing in life for not just recreational purposes and even in your career, and will be sent out with her price lists ect.. Im just alittle stuck on my ideas and need a crit! Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Lost in the Post

I forgot to post about these at the time but I made a few more pieces to accompany my postman investigation..

This is my postman sketchbook which is made out of C5 envelopes that I collected, everyday I drew the postman through the window, kinda stalkerish but it got me so many marks I don't care.

I made this parcel out of my accetate from my screen prints.

Drawing more people...

Here are a few more drawings I did of people to finish my uniforms project off nicely..

Apparently I was missing out peoples faces as I drew them last and as they past I didn't get to them in time, so I made this little concertina book out of tickets and drew peoples faces at Southampton train station.

I made this to accompany my shopping theme, I drew people coming out of primark on a primark bag.. it contrasts with my prints of "Gucci and Channel women".

This is a piece to accompany my journeys idea, on the way back to Southampton from Wolverhampton I drew people at every stop we stopped on a large sheet of paper.. man that was embarrassing. I seriously don't care now though.. i'd draw anywhere so I guess this project had done me good.

Climbing Club..

Earlier when I was going around drawing everyone I could I did some sketches of the climbers at my mums climbing club. It was so difficult as they move so fast but I managed to get a few good images. I decided to collage them into a rock face so I had a conclusion for them, and a justification in my asessment.

I used screwed up paper for the rock to make it seem more realistic, and threaded embroidary thread through loops at the top. I liked making a flat collaged sculpture, although I'm not convinced it particually works with these people I'd like to try this technique again maybe next term.

Wire Sculpture

One route I explored early on in my project was drawing with wire which I did on my foundation course. I quickly abandoned this. The drawings of people I did where so quirky that when I tried to replicate them in wire they were unrecognisable as people, maybe next time...
