A drawing of a chicken.

Because sometimes, there is nothing better to do.

Might colour it the next time I feel the urge.

Illustration Set

My set of train based illustrations for final major project is eventually complete! So here's the end results in order of production, because I think you can see me getting better as I go through each image.

In this first image you can see the idea for the theme developed into an end result which is much plainer than the other two pieces, so I may have to add in a couple of signs or something to fill some of the negative space, but for now i'm going to leave it as it is, until I have a better idea of what the picture needs.

"Ladies Sign Illustration"

In this piece my illustrations were becoming very focused on a certain style, using the cutout filter on original photography pieces which were cut and pasted into appropriate sections, mostly in posters but also in the piece below to fill the background with shops. (I'm aware that my wee man still hasn't got a hand, don't panic! I'm giving him one today, or maybe a hook, keep him trendy like.)

"Mind the Gap Illustration"

For this one I decided not to use the outline of the homeless man because I like how he sort of fades into the background. The ceiling may still be coloured red but for the moment I wanted to leave it as a blank outline to leave some extra space in the piece, balancing the format of the three pieces.

"Information Illustration"

 Thanks for keeping up to date with my work, my developed photography work will now be posted on Thursday to give me time to get a couple more pieces done. Tutorials for this work is available on request like always, just send me an e-mail and i'll send you the work. Laters alligators.

Still Life and Sillyness.

So a couple of Saturdays ago I nicked 5 mannequins from college and went out to the old Limavady junction with my mum. Decided it would be nice to create a few relevant pieces of photography for my project instead of just using the media for research. So me and mum got to work, battling the wind and rain to get 5 hollow bodies to stand up on their own all at once. Not an easy task as we discovered, but i'm super happy with the results, i'll put up a post of the developed film on monday. Here's a few of the nice ones.
