Vélib

First negotiated brief of second year, based on our study trip to Paris. I chose to do an advertising/poster project promoting Paris bicycle hire, which I found to be an enjoyable way of getting around the city, despite a close shave with a double decker bus.

Below is one of my roughs that I think actualy works better as an image, although conceptually it is a bit dubious.

Happy Bleated Birthday

Domestic violence awareness

First year poster project. I aimed to show how domestic violence is a bad thing by demonstrating its effect on gingerbread people, with delicious results.

Frampton-on-Severn: a Bird's Eye View

 

Here is what I did for the FMP way back in the glory days of foundation - an illustrated visitor's guide to where I live; marketed at birds. In a way I don't think I've done anything much like it before or since, in that it involved pulling quite a lot of separate things together (paintings, woodcut prints, photos, victorian birdhouses, scanned things, etc) to make one complete thing. This is to date also the only time I've ever used a severed chicken foot in my artwork (eat your heart out, damien hirst).

 

  

  

  

 

 

Dogs Through the Ages

 

This was for an information illustration project, which I based on the history of dogs. It's basically a book on canines through the ages that can fold out into a sort of doggy-tapestry. I read a lot about dogs and where they came from, and then completed about half of a dummy book and 2 colour artworks.

I kind of spent the first half of the project barking up the wrong tree, but eventually managed to knuckle down and start working like a dog. As is customary I ended up doing my last artwork in the final 12 hours before the deadline, which resulted in it being a bit of dog's breakfast compositionally, but I was so dog-tired that I didn't really care.

One day I might rough out the rest of the dummy, but for now we'll let sleeping dogs lie.
