Fashion Adverts




So a little time ago I did a monoprint that i posted on here, now I took that mono print as part of my project to develop into a poster

Ta da!

(note this aren't actually loreal or rimmel i just had to use the logos to make it look realistic)




I have a cushion for sale, as part of a competition!

Hokusai wave mural

I've recently worked with Plymouth Museum on a mural for their surfing exhibition with Paolo Fiore and Joe Lyward. It was based on the 'Under the Wave of Kanagawa' by Hokusai with some illustartive modifications.  


It took us 3 long days to finish it...



and a cherry picker to reach the crest of the wave

 


The finished piece!


Paolo designed some funky jelly fish pattern and the surfers 


and I designed the crest of the wave as dolphins

The Fox and The Mask

'The Fox and The Mask,' an etched concertina with a letterpress band
 based on the Aesops Fable




I designed it to act as business card that was a bit more interesting 


Run

'Run,' a mono print concertina of animal bound in a letterpress book with embossing powder



 All the prints are different, I made six and have sold two 




I used studies of animals from my sketchbook to create different compositions 




Pop up Shop



Last month I joined up with the 3D design course to put up a second year pop up shop for the degree show with Josie Maskell


Joe Lyward helped me with the posters we had to design in 
about an hour with limited resources


Josie designed some tee shirts, and cases on the right
 and I used my print work from the last 6 months

2nd year exhibition


Me and my work from second year 


I plan to blog, twitter, make website this summer, and start making a bigger splash in the virtual pond (lame euphemism i know)  but Joe and I have just moved into a new place and we are using the internet off our phones until BT connect us to the world wide web properly, so waiting for that first.

Moon Princess - Kaguya Hime

so i guess i haven't really shown much of my work here this year...its all been a bit in progress 

this is one of the finals i did for the last module, but i'm going over it again to make it 
darker so i can scan it properly




the story is a Japanese tale about a moon princess who comes down to earth, in this scene she is returning home to the moon
