layers baby, layers!

further exploration of watercolours, actually using proper paper this time! am still exploring the idea of layering, especially layering of mediums. this piece includes photocopy release, collage, chinagraph pencil, ink and watercolour.

dancers and bees

latest sketch using layering of ink and watercolour to mask out an old drawing that i thought was rubbish!

digital printmaking

so these are some of my pieces that combine traditional printmaking with digital prints. i'm not sure which folio to submit them to, my printmaking one or my drawing and digital one. so in case they end up in the printmaking one, here they are !

knight at the door

This is an alternative version of the piece i submitted for the "Pushing Pixels" artists book. I used a scan of my collograph plate, which I think is better looking than the prints it made. i also used a scanned image of my knight drypoint plate, so the whole piece is a digital amalgamation of various printmaking techniques.

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!
