happy new year from st. harry and me

santa clause is coming to town

back home in didcot town now
and the work.. is churning out slow
for this flim project, i am going to make soft toy action figures (i hope...)
of the characters from run lola run
but, still dwelling on the designs
i keep hopping back and fourth between over abstract characters, to realistic characters.. and ra ra ra
angela is right, my work is far too character based
but i already have the context for the work.. i am just producing a consumable object for potential sale
art vending

this essay is... boring me to death
i dont even want to say any more on it
i havnt started it yet
its due on the 14th
and.. i couldnt care less

wrong time of year to care too much eh
chin chin y'all

way out west

this is not the most inspiring weather today
however, got some good music on.. been teaching myself slide guitar recently. so listening to some blues
and some music by a guy named andy mckee
pretty amazing

so far for this 'FILM' project, (where, for those of you who don't know, we have to produce a piece(s) of work related to one of the films shown at the film club.)
i have chosen run,lola,run
as it is only a short project i have given myself a set of rules to work by, in order to produce something more specific, and not faff around with ideas when i need to be churning out work.
focusing on the way lola chants her 'wait' mantra in her head whilst running to manni

i have also had the ideas of editing a german mark, to put her face on, making it look like a limited edition flim coupon or whatever
but this seems a bit safe and boring to be quite honest
so i have stuck to looking at polish film posters... keeping it very illustrative. bold lines and colours. almost abstract.
i will try and get some pictures up on here soon
god bless

"hey, you got a killer scene there, man"

the first day of christmas
how time flies
the crit went well.... i wont go into the details, but angela and rolf seemed happy with what i produced.
i know its not great, but being the first narrative i have written and illustrated, i think its a good start, and a good base to go from and improve

the new brief 'film' should be good.. although a very short time scale..
no complaints though as thats what it will be like when i leave uni to the big bad real world
looking at polish film posters..
doing 'run, lola, run'
bright blocky colours
focusing on the way she chants her 'wait...wait...wait' mantra in her head
my parents are visiting today - taking me to lunch. should be lovely.

dopamine

(minor)judgement day

spent yesterday evening in the police station again at a 'viper view'...
we did get dropped off at the pub in a marked police car.. suckers
finished my hidden project.
im pleased with it.
and pleased that ive finished it. although i do feel i could add more, but that would endanger it getting too messy. its all simple lines (with trippy tricky bits in between) and its very naive and tight. bold colours. confident lines. diamonds skulls steaks violins and shit

my crit is at 1.15...
then the new brief is going to be set. interested to know what this is going to be on. apparently something to do with the films that are shown at the lecture theatre on thursday evenings. wont be hard for me to choose which film, run lola run being the only one i have seen

im listening to the bronx
you should be too

hairy tale day two

day two of drawing up the final images
just finished number 3 of 6... still no colour or text yet though
crit at 1 on thursday.. so i have today and tomorrow to get it done, which should be fine as long as nothing goes wrong...
my hand is aching and my vision is severely impaired from this.. but i like it
its fun
and relaxing
yet also a major head fuck... im staring at the lines so much they are begining to move

hairy tale

today i am working on images for a novellette
by the end of the week i aim to produce 5 - 6 images (with text) to make a short story
starring geoff adams
the hairy wolf man, hidden in the forest and beneath his hairy fur outer covering
nothing too deep
just a short look at him and his mixed up ways being left alone in the forest
light hearted nonsense that aims to do nothing more than bring a cheeky sideways grin and an inside chuckle to those who look upon it
stay tuned all you avid readers

kids

hide away
behind their floppy fringes
in the shadows
under hoods

cant see the trees for the forest

i'll start again
at the moment i am working on characters from children's stories who are set in forests
(hansel. gretel. peter. the wolf. goldilocks. the three bears. and that damn wolf.)
i have been taking the 'hidden' idea so literally... trying to produce an image that is visually hidden.. when maybe all i need to do is illustrate something that is / has been or is considered hidden...
so i am illustrating these characters.. at the moment using hand drawn india ink.. but considering moving to a screen print and mulitplying the image to create an almost wallpaper effect. by multiplying the images of these characters they become a crowd.. and in a crowd, it is easy to become hidden as an individual
(illustrating my hatred for places like london....)
who wants to be just a face in a crowd?

anyone want to buy me the rise against vans? those pikeys killed my emerica's
CUNTS
all of you
thanks for reading
