Cars

thought i'd enter this for illustration friday's 'car' theme. some kids toys are really odd looking structures, especially these garage things (which i always loved when i was a kid, but never had myself).

Ok, so here comes the part where my various online selves can finally meet! by this i mean i have finally put the address for this blog on my facebook, so that my friends can see what i have been up to in the rat (please note this refers to school work only!). However, the stuff on this site is only a small portion of what i have been producing. I am hoping that the pressure of having friends look at my site will motivate me to update it more often. I'd also like to say a big THANK YOU to all those people involved in the sticker project. i am still waiting on some replies, but the ones i have received are amazing, and i'd like to publicly announce how creative my friends and family are! feel free to comment, and i hope you have fun looking at my work!

scanning pics at home, oh yeah!

here are some colour ideas for my latest sketch. am not very good at colouring things on photoshop, i get impatient! plus i really like to paint things by hand, i was just mucking around!

here are 2 of the 4 pieces i did for the identity assignment. one is a digital manipulation of a few different photos, the other is a mixture of a traditionally printed drypoint and a digital drypoint.

texture

Did some more explorations of scans in photoshop. Am trying to heighten the textural quality of the lines, which are originally a drypoint etching plate, prior to being inked up. i like seeing what colours are at the essence of a plate that looks grey to the naked eye. how cool is it that grey and black are really just a mixture of so many other colours.

Sticker Project

I sent out the stickers today! My project has consisted of making some artworks into stickers, cutting them up and sending them to friends and family across the country and the world. I have asked each person involved to stick the sticker somewhere interesting and send me a photo of the result. These are my two installations. A bit cheeky really, putting a sticker that says 'don't panic' onto the front of my car which i crashed over the weekend. Soon it will be fixed though, so it is a very ephemeral piece!

digital morning

This is a piece i did for my digital class this morning, sort of a response to the illustration friday topic 'hide'. i think it needs more work though...
