Metropolis Project Finale!!!





So after a long staggering amount of weeks of working on the 'Metropolis' project this was my final outcome :) Basically taken well known buildings in Portsmouth and recreated them. I drew the buildings on card first and then stuck them individually onto Mountboard :| It took forever....... However im pleased with the outcome! I forgot to take pictures of my sketchbook or 'Dossier' in this case but will aim to get some of the drawings up soon! Currently working on recreating Alice in Wonderland Penguin Book Cover so keep your eyes peeled for some new material!!!!

Some more Doodlebook!





You gotta love 'em :)

Doodlebook Pages Continued!





A Few New Doodlebook Pages!

Not long now!

Just under 2 weeks until i start Portsmouth Uni for my Illustration course.... Can't wait!! So physched for it now!!!!


This was something i did about 2 years ago for my final A level project! Make of it what you will... Quirky and Colourful!

Created on canvas, i used orange and yellow inks to create the background and acrylic paints for the vibrant colours! The acutal outlines were done via Screen printing them onto the canvas!


Bit tricky to begin with but once i got the hang of it i was pleased with some of the outcomes!

And whilst i remember.....

The Surrey Sketch Book Project

Recently i came across a great idea on Facebook.. The Surrey Sketchbook Project!

Now some of you may be aware of the original version however the chances of going to America to see your own sketchbook amongst others for an Art student is extremely unlikely!

This idea is a fantastic way for others to show how they go about creating there own sketchbook to a specific theme! It's certainly alot more easier to get to aswell!

Spread the word and get involved and let others see what you can create!

Check out Tinashé

A little music update for you!

In the last few months i been following an Artist called 'Tinashé'! His music is such a breath of fresh air! He has released several tracks already (Big fan of 'A-Liar'!!!) but his Debut album is expected to drop on the 13th of September.. Will definitely be Pre-ordering!


It's artists like him who help keep me inspired musically, so if you find yourself with a spare 5 minutes go check him out on Youtube, Itunes or even his blog!

I've taking a liking to the idea of sharing music so whenever i come across someone/thing i like i will certainly get round to posting it on here!

The Long Awaited ( Well maybe not soooo much...) Cornwall Doodles!

As promised here is a selection of pages from myself and friends!

Mine:

So this is a selection of Character i drew throughout the week! A real mixed bunch
but pretty happy with the turnout!

Tobys:

Simple yet effective :-) I think he slightly overexagerated his body in this and
I dont think i will ever see Richard successfully ride a surfboard there is probably
more chance seeing Rameen out swim the Octopus and Shark if I'm honest...

Rameens:

Pretty much what it says to be honest! MASSIVE TOUCH :-D

Liz's:

I love this! Its very Cute and Pretty and the line work is awesome :-)
She kept whinging about how she messed it up but i dont think she did at all!

Louise's

Her favourite thing to draw :) She listed all the places mentioned corresponding
to the direction they were in!

Georgia's:

This page has an Iconic/Pop art feel and really bold too! Not sure how
she got round to drawing a bearded rabbit or the backside of Elephant but
i'm sure she has her reasons! ;-P

Richards:

You can really tell where he was going with this lol..
If anything im more surprised there is not one cock drawing on here.. Ill credit him for that ha!

Will try to get some more colourful posts on the go sometime aswell.. So much black and White!!

Soo many Holidays!!

So after having an epic month of Cornwall, Corfu and Bristol i am going to sort out getting on top of this...!

I did manage to get alot of Doodles on the go aswell and will be uploading very soon! Maybe even Sooner! I will be uploading the few pages i got my friends to do in Cornwall.. all very exciting too! Some even managed to refrain themselves from drawing just penis's all over.. Im suprised the main culprit (Richard) didn't in the end!

Plenty of Doodles from Corfu too.. getting the family involved always intrigued to see what they could come up with!

Now i was also fortunate enough to spend a lovely couple of days in a little B&B called Fern Cottage with my lovely Girlfriend Liz! Great location being between Bristol and Bath which allowed us to explore both quite easily!

The best part was definitely stumbling across the Bristol art gallery... I saw a banner out side and instantly recognised the main picture... Luke Chueh!!!
I Could not resist to go in! The Exhibition was called 'Art from the new world' which show cased work by 49 of the best emerging and established artists working in the USA today! Including another favourite Joe Ledbetter!!! It was a really good exhibition and so glad i managed to see some the artists i look to as inspiration!


Luke Chueh's 'Pin Cushion'



Joe Ledbetter's 'Wrapped'

Will definitely get posting the Doodles tomorrow! Not long now til im start Portsmouth Uni!!!!!!!!!
