cutout

cutout book inverted

this is inverted, the original is cut out of white paper. I meant to photograph it but my tutor has stolen it. It folds together into a book, so they overlap and you can see through them. So closed up it is a very complicated image, then gets less complicated as you unfold it.

bargain

Found this amazing book in a charity shop. Expect many, much better, drawings of animals.

total bargain

just some of the things you can see within

horror of horrors

anteaters are ludicrous beasts

I find it hard to believe some of these animals really exist, they are so impossibly bizarre. I wont believe in them til I see them with my own eyes. Sorry anteater.

Geometry

This pattern makes not so much sense.

Pattern making

I want to print up huge rolls of wallpaper, this is my new dream. I have never designed any kindof repeating pattern before, it muddled my brain, here is my first one ever. It's my computer desktop background now ( a paler version so i can see) and it tiles perfectly, I can hardly believe it.

Colour hog

I also made one with colour. Wanted it to look like a screen print but the store wouldnt print onto my painted background in case it melted onto the drum. And colour copies are £40 instead of £2. So the black is on acetate.

Pygmy hog final product

I have moved back to Brighton and started a new term hence the big gap of no posts. Now I'm back and working hard again I will hopefully be better at keeping up.

Here's that poster I was working on before. It's A1 size, giant for me!

Famly

pet/child, unwanted companion

I think everyone will do animal/humans for this zine so I hesitate to do the same but I quite like this drawing. I'm going to change the little horse-girl's head though.

Half n half

Next issue of Embryo zine is themed Hybrids. Yet again I do several things for it & cant decide which to use. All I want to do is tweak and tweak em til I go nutso.

Bearshadow

I never really use pencils anymore but I'm starting to like them again. This is just something from a sketchbook fooled with in photoshop (shh dont tell anyone)
