Get yer posters out......

Happy 1st April!

Heres your next peek at my work.

Edinburgh Book Festival poster.

I really enjoyed this project, once it got going anyway. Sorry about the really bad quality picture of this. But yeah, basically its mean't to represent escaping real life as you do at festivals and while reading books. I'm pretty happy with this poster. ha, my brain is pretty dead at the moment.





I just like this. :)

Fudging Fudgers.

Yesterday i bought a picture book illustrated by a guy called Oliver Jeffers for my nephews birthday. So today i decided to check his work, and honestly i think it's completely amazing, I'm absolutely in love with it. He's done loads of sweet stuff, but anyway i felt really inspired after looking at his work, so i really wanted to use some paints in my sketch book and just go for it really. But i then struck a problem after 5 minutes later, realising my paints were in still in Falmouth, complete error there on my part. So then i got into a bit of a hissy fit with myself and all creativeness just ended, complete bummer! but yerrrrr, that's my story for today.
I'll leave you with some lovely images from Oliver Jeffers.



I always want my sketch books to look like this unfortunately i don't work this way.

Illy B, the bain of my life.






Soooooo, i spent two terms working on my Illy B (illustrated book) and i hated every second of it! So lets just say from now i never ever EVER want to do a whole illustrated book again in my life, if i ever had to do it again it would be far too soon.
But hey ho, i put a bit of effort into it so i might as well get some pages of it up here. I do think now looking back that i really should of put more effort into it, instead of just pissing around and then pulling all nighters days before the deadline. I really do wish i'd been more creative and spent more time thinking about the text.
But whats done is done, and there is nothing i can do about it now.

Lets get this ball rolling.




Alright, so i thought it was about time for me to get going on this blog. Time to do something slightly productive on my uneventful Saturday night.
This is a piece of work i did for uni, i had two days to come up with a few ideas, a rough and then a final piece! The project was called 'Project X' which was sprung up on us around a month ago, this was probably one of the projects that I've enjoyed the most.

Gah, please excuse the crap scanning.

Hello.

So here we go, I'm not really sure in the point of this blog, i guess its somewhere to put my work old and new, but also to post things i find that take my interest.
