Birthday

birthday card...

Typography (etc)

Sorry I haven't uploaded for a while!
Thought I'd just post a few things I've been doing the past month or so..
 

 

 I've just finished a typography/illustration project. I've been drawing dogs and foxes, making 3-D versions of Japanese characters, painted to look like kokeshi dolls... you know,  the usual!


 (first post of december! I should be getting more festive...!)

Kokeshi Type

I've been doing a typography project at college...
just playing around on photoshop.

Art Foundation - Summer project!


Sorry for not posting for a while!
I started my 'Art Foundation Course' at the begining of September - it's been really busy...
We were given a summer project to complete over the holiday. 
Everyone was given an object to research, I got "Bra".
So though I'd just upload a few of the outcomes...
(apologies for poor quality scans, most were A2 and hard to stick together!) 
Ink and Acrylic... Yummy colours...
And finally, I made an alphabet out of a bra...
Hope this post hasn't taken too long to load! 
Thank you for visiting!

window

This drawing is a kind of tribute to our cat, Toffee, who passed away in June.
There's very much a sense of something missing around the house - especially when I sit by the window, where he often used to join me...

goodbye, toff

Nebulae. 2.

This is the final painting for my art exam. Canvas was 60 x 70 cm, oil paints again!
Featuring myself and the Nebula "NGC 602" (no cats this time!!)

Nebulae. 1.

I've been painting a lot recently - I had my final a level art exam yesterday.
Just thought I'd post some of the prep stuff I've been doing. All oil paints- s o o fun!
The theme was 'exploration and discovery' - I was looking at space!
"The Phoenix Nebula"
Might look more like clouds, but I love this one... so pretty!

"The Eagle Nebula"
(sorry for poor photo quality! taken on my phone!!)

I haven't entered illustration friday for ages! Sorry!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while!
