Mr Cat

A Christmas present I drew for Gill, inspired by Louis Wain.

Mah brovver

My brother bought me this leather sketch book in London for Christmas, quite a while ago.  I drew his portrait on the first page a couple of days after receiving it; I don't know why it took me so long to post this.

Gill's hare

My dad's girlfriend, Gill, commissioned me to paint her a messy watercolour hare with autumn colours after seeing so many on holiday at extortionate prices, this is the result.

Skyhill Black and White

This painting was inspired by the lyrics "I'm pouring colour on your black and white disguise, it's like seeing the world for the first time"  from the Skyhill song "Black and White" 

Marilyn Monroe

My friend asked for a drawing for his birthday present and as he adores Marilyn Monroe it seemed only natural that I draw her. I drew in pen and pencil.

Sculpture gif

I made a clay sculpture of Herme's Caduceus and took photos of it being created and ultimately destroyed.

Creepy Installation

For a final piece in my last unit at college I had to create an installation that used at least three different types of media. I based it off of the painting "Las Meninas" by Diego Velazquez painted in 1656. I thought that Margarita, the blonde little girl at the center of the painting, looked a lot like a porcelain doll.

I then decided that I would go down the creepy route because dolls freak me out, I started creating A3 and A4 mono prints of dolls and stuck them all over the walls of a small dark room. Then I tried to create a horror-film-trailer-esque video of them. I edited the video to fit to my audio and then projected the film onto the walls. The audio was the soundtrack from the horror game "Hektor" composed by Shaun Chasin and performed by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra. Listening to it made me feel a deep sorrow but as the music goes on it creates a beautifully eerie atmosphere.

Unfortunately the laptop that was used to project the video was quite old and because the video played so incredibly slow it went out of sync to the music. Other than that I was pleased with my installation as many people who came in to see it felt it was quite creeped out. Blogger wont let me upload the video of the installation but I have a couple of photos.

Ink Graphics

A quick video I created in my graphics unit.  "Poison" was the name of my fashion shop that I invented, the gas mask was our logo and green was our colour scheme.

Fashion Illustrations

I unfortunately didn't get a photo of these illustrations before I stuck them to my mood boards but oh well. These are some ink, pen and paint illustrations of outfits I designed based on "East End Urban". 

Sketch

Quick sketch inspired by the rake monster. I actually drew this on Halloween but didn't get around to posting it, so here it is. 

Arno

So this is a sketch of Arno from Assassins Creed Unity using black biro pen.

He's so pretty :)

Jane Perkins "Plastic Classics"

British artist Jane Perkins calls herself a re-maker, as she uses found objects of various shapes, sizes and hues to replicate the most famous paintings and portraits of our times. In her gorgeous mosaic series “Plastic Classics”, Perkins combines all sorts of plastic objects – buttons, LEGO pieces, beads, figurines – and matches their shapes and authentic hues so well that the works look strikingly similar to the originals. These artworks resemble the impressionistic tradition, as they can be appreciated both from a distance as well as up close.

Sculpture

So this is a sculpture of a woman's head made out of books that I did in my last unit for art and design at college. It was unfortunately unstable so there is a stick of wood holding her chin up.

Street Art Humour

Even though he only had to remove the stencil, this stencil removal guy made it to the same wall himself. Once street artist DS saw the man cleaning the wall and removing his creation, the artist took a photo of him and stenciled it, only to stick it back to the same spot later. Even if you’re not a big fan of street art yourself, you gotta admit – the guy does have a good sense of humor!

Newspaper Drawings

I had the idea to use the racing, stocks and shares parts of the newspaper and contrast it with some drawings of lingerie and other things.

Nude drawings

My first nude drawings of pictures on the internet.
