Finger-puppet lobsters enjoy Southend-on-sea very much.

At Pittville; Everything Goes

On wednesday we had a one day project where the brief was to produce a zine based on Pittville campus. I worked with Chris Dent to produce a series of collages based on unknown or unusual spaces on campus. This one is my favourite of my own collages.

I hear the streets are paved with catnip

Looking For Love And For Fame

I'm working on a cat to go with my owl character.

She has turned into Puss'n Boots XD

This will hopefully form somekind of self promotional thing when i'm done.

My birds with Mr Stoat, Sukie and Phillipe

Having a bit of a bad time at the moment. My life is a bit messy and my bedroom reflects this.
Not really any real reason for me to be unhappy and that's why I am so confused. I'm trying my best to finish this year. I can't wait for Easter now.
I have been doing lots of experiments to find a way I really like working in, which will be big and expressive but also appropriate for a finished illustration.
I've also attempted to make some little 3D bird things. Now I have a varnished hand.

Editorial failures

The digital one was my first attempt but it looks really odd.
I can't decide which one is actually better but at the time I submitted the ink one because I hated the digital one.
The brief was to illustrate an article about supermarkets competing on organic food prices.

Cheeseman adventures?

I should explain that Cheeseman is a Superhero who unfortunately happens to be a piece of broccoli. He was born when I was studying sequential illustration. Here, he is clearly dissapointed when he sees that some cheese has stolen his name. Now that you two have been introduced, future adventures need no explanation.

And Watered Heaven

This is my book cover for my children's book mock up.
I was quite unhappy with this project because I couldn't do it as well as I wanted due to time constraints.
However, I tried something different and now I know what sort of things I could do with photoshop.

Threw Down Their Spears

Still working on the children's book mock-up.
Photoshop saves me time but I dislike it.
