Tatty Cat

These are some character designs I was asked to do last year for a children's book proposal Tatty Cat from a local Devon author who saw my work at my university degree show.

I really enjoyed creating the character, he's supposed to be a scruffy, old, overweight, mixed breed cat 

'Andjela'

Here's a beauty portrait in mono print that I made for my friend's birthday. I think the pattern of the shirt and the hair is quite exciting and luxurious. 

'Forever Bound.'

'Forever Bound.' a pencil drawing from my sketchbook. One is bound to her multiple sides of her personalities or the people in her life. 

'He Lives in You'

'He Lives in You."A monoprint I made for my friend who loves cats. I took inspiration from spirit animals and being strong on the inside. I digitally coloured the ink to a warm brown, now I have finished university and am working from home I don't have as many colours to play with, in fact all I have is black so I must remember to put some of my weekly paycheque to enhancing my palette!

River Dancers

A monoprint from the tale of the Snow Queen of overlapping stencils. This is from the scene where Gerda is taken away from her home by the river to begin her journey.

Dancing Dreams

A monoprint I made for the story of the Snow Queen when Gerda is sneaking into the summer palace and sees the dancing dreams of the royal sleepers as shadows on the wall. I used stencils of dancers which overlapped.

I really like the colours I get from overlapping colours in the print work shop and the freedom I had with the composition as I was able to move the stencils around.
