Thought I’d show you a little illustration I did earlier today at uni.
Its part of our Martino Gamper project, but I’m not sure if it’ll all stay in this style.
I’ll post the finals once their done next week…
Well in theory they should be done by next week!

Upto my old tricks again…
Well my lovelies, I’ve been rather busy recently.
I have just under two weeks before my next deadline, so I feel I’ve neglected this blog a little.
I know, I know…I should be ashamed. And I am my dear followers, I really am!
But heres a few patterns for you, to show I still love graph paper and fine liners
(Maybe a little too much…)

Window Shopping
Once again, I fear I shall have to make this a short one, theres simply not enough hours in the day!
Coincidentally, thats the name of the project I’m working on at the mo for FX magazine.
“If only there were more hours in the day”
Long story short, my outcome is to create a window….Or download one.
A downloadable window that constantly feeds our creativity, leading us to achieve a more productive day at work,
creating more free hours in the evening.
Don’t get it?…I barely get it myself.
Still…Come tuesday it’ll be over and done with and I can concentrate on my other briefs.
I’ll leave you to window shop.

Short and sweet
Good morro’ dear followers,
Recently my friend Jess asked if I would design a tattoo for her.
Now I’ve never really looked into tattoo art, but it gives me an excuse to doodle some patterns, so I’m a happy bunny.
Below are a few things I came up with. Not so sure if she’ll want them as tattoos, but its something to put up here,
so everyones a winner!….Kind of…

Hows this for dedication?…
I’m running my bath at the mo, and as the water rises dangerously close to the edge of the bath, instead of turning off the taps and scrubbing the dirt from my creative little fingers, I decide it would be fun to upload some illustrations.
Can it be done before I flood the house?…Lets find out…
* 10 minutes later *
Ok so the internet obviously thinks its funny to go extremely slow when it knows I’m having a ‘Tom cruise mission impossible’ moment, and now my mac thinks it’ll be a corker to tell me my battery will die in 8 minutes.
Real funny guys….real funny.
(pssstt…Enlarge the pics once you’ve clicked on them for better quality

Language evolution
Yo,
Seeing as the Virginia Woolf deadline is slowly drawing near, I think I should probably get a move on with making some illustrations. So before I start doodling the ‘finale’, I did a little version in my sketchbook of roughly how I’m going to approach it.
Im hoping to produce a few of these evolving patterns on one big bit of paper, then use bits of the big illustration in the final layouts.
Tataa for now…

Abstract illustration
Salut,
Thought I’d put up an illustration I did for a workshop in uni.
I picked 4 verbs :
To tear
To swirl
To surround
And To erase.
I then came up with a simple narrative of…
*drum roll please*
Food being digested.
*tumbleweed rolls past*
It starts at the top left with the tearing as the food is torn in the mouth, it then moves onto the next phase of swirling in the mouth and down the throat, followed by the circular lines for surrounding in the stomach and finally moving up to the top right with erasing and…well…not being in the body anymore *cough*…
So there we go…An abstract illustration using only pencil and black fine liners.
(P.s. I apologise for the folded, scruffy paper. Its been sat in my sketchbook a while…)

A new language you say!?
Well, not quite.
For this Virginia Woolf brief, I’ve decided to look back at written language, specifically alphabets, and see if I can’t make something visually tasty!
Below are some pictures from my sketchbook where I’ve taken latin, greek, old futhorc english and possibly something Egyptian, to make a rather confusing pattern

Virginia Woolf
She was a funny one wasn’t she?
After listening to Virginias recording about words and language, I created the poster/pattern for a uni workshop.
It was inspired, not necessarily from what she was speaking about, (even though she knew her stuff!) But from how she spoke.
I really loved the way she could just talk, without fault, about the subject she was certainly passionate for. How she could say exactly what she wanted to say, as if it had already been written down in a script for her. (Ok, so it most likely was written down for her to talk from. But I like to think Virginia could have had that fluent, almost hypnotic sense about her anyway.)
I’m not so sure my piece of work will represent to you everything I just mentioned, but its abstract. And as long as I can see in it what I want… Then I guess it worked out pretty well
