Work in Progress*

Further developments from the post it’s all about the music. Here is the final MT arms logo, all pending review.

has been and gone so quickly… Tonight, I am sitting wondering where the time has gone, I have been organising my scattered files. I did manage to go out and take some photographs and even experiment with some illustration. So all in all quite a productive weekend.

I have a fond love of illustration, I love looking at it, but actually doing it is another matter! Of an evening, I think this is something which I’m going to focus on over the next couple of months. Who knows, I may even get at least one good piece in that time, God loves a trier!

Further Ink exploration ::

Having played with the different effects, colouring and rotation, these images were produced. To me they appear as scenes, the mustard being a reflection in a river of a flower bud, the other of an entrance to a forest.

Please feel free to leave your own interpretations.

To further post my Ink exploration ::
These illustrations/graphics were made purely through Ink explosions within a bowl of water, the only addition is the eyes and brightness, contrast manipulation.

The haziness adds to the images, creating a further fabrication of fantasy.

Art Book

With the success of Cut & Paste through copy methods, I created an art book of work relating to cultural and social current identity issues.

Cloning, genetical modifications and cosmetics.

Disturbing as it may, as a society we blame everyone but ourselves for the condition of our own lives. Watching a documentary, BodyShock: The World’s Biggest Boy, it was such an astonishing and engrossing real-life story that the impact has drove this idea.

Playing with the phrase, “colour your future,” I decided that ‘hello colour” would be quite interesting to see as ambient media. For example, as it’s for the area of Carlisle, the piece could be placed on Carlisle’s public transport. The background would be transparent; the type itself could be white or black, depending on the media with the introduction of colour.
