Lifedrawing

I've been slacking

with my blogging recently. I realised I have SO much stuff i haven't blogged and i don't really know why, laziness mainly. But I've stepped it up, brought everything out of the studio and taken pictures of it all so prepare to be bombarded :)

Elsa Mora

My favourite artist at the moment. I discovered this cuban artist whilst browsing through Tumblr. I am so stunned by her creations, they are so intricate and her attention to detail is 'increible'. Check out her miniature books..

- absolutely adorable. Such an inspiration.

Liar Liar

Crappy mobile photos. We were given the theme 'LIES' to work with and i chose to work on one of Aesop's fables - The Boy Who Cried wolf. After a number of re-designs and development i came up with this idea. I wanted to make sure everything about the design was relevant to the story. So i made the tear drop shape out of a wolf and sheep head (hopefully you can work it out), attached to an already-fallen tear drop to give the image more depth. The story was taken place on a hill, at sunset. So i used contour lines and a isle-like pattern to my print, experimenting with various colours seen at sunset. These are double layered lino prints - which was an absolute bitch chiselling out and sliced my fingers 3 times in the process, but it was worth it. I still have a lot more printing i'd like to do until i get it how i want it as i don't believe its quite there yet. But for a start, i'm pleased with the results, and learnt a new process on the way!
