I suppose I post this with the caveat that if I end up signing an NDA, I’ll have to come back here and take my paddington content down. But with things as they stand, I want to keep a project thread, and so will post my storyboards. I had fun making this, which is whatContinue reading “Paddington – Storyboards”

Visual Diary – Not today.
Time to shake and roll the dice on my every day game: am I ill? Am I just saying I’m ill because that means some of the pressure comes off my artwork, and it doesn’t represent me-at-my-best, rather – me-but-trust-me-I-can-make-better-than-this. Do I need an excuse to feed tutors when they look at the work IContinue reading “Visual Diary – Not today.”
Performance Project – Day Three
This day was productive, as we assigned work to each member of the team to sort out. Rory is directing the official production poster, Tia the tickets, Joe the stickers, Niamh the zine. I am sort of available to help and contribute to all of these things, and keep floating around taking videos. This videoContinue reading “Performance Project – Day Three”
Visual Diary – Sick Swords
I listened to a song called Enemies to Lovers while trying to drop off to sleep and got the most vivid visual of Mitzi and Antonia having a sword fight. And Mitzi holding a sword got me thinking about that DND universe Ben designed with me this year. And then I started redesigning the DNDContinue reading “Visual Diary – Sick Swords”
Lo-Fi Printmaking – Digital Experiments
Today Phil showed us some ways we can digitally manipulate images, and I tried to be brave. I find it hard to push myself to make new, interesting things: once something looks good I tend to pull my hands back as quickly as possible and let it be. But there’s an art and a courageContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking – Digital Experiments”
Visual Diary – Hairstyles
This felt like a very important drawing. I felt like my hand and my brain were having a conversation again, and that something new is born, and I like it. Something is changing. Some understanding of planes on the face, specifically the eyes and bridge of the nose, is maturing. Depth and volume on theContinue reading “Visual Diary – Hairstyles”
Blender – The Downloadening
Ben convinced me to download Blender by showing me cool stuff you can do with it. I already was fully aware of the cool stuff you could do with it, but something about the air tonight got me putting down my double vodka orange juice (with immense purpose – think daniel craig slamming down hisContinue reading “Blender – The Downloadening”
Visual Diary – The Main Bit of Life
This was an experimental image, if you can’t already tell. It felt good to make. Look at the shape of Ludwig’s eyes: they’re real, and they hold a lot of emotion, but they’re still definitely mine. This was me messing about with the gloaming brush beyond all recognition to create a new lineart brush. I’veContinue reading “Visual Diary – The Main Bit of Life”
Performance Project – Day 2
The official day 2 of the performance project was bitty and tiring, but good fun! I was pulled out in the morning to attend a talk about a masters’ degree at the RCA. I reckon Roderick just wanted the numbers up so as not to offend the people who bothered to come out to theContinue reading “Performance Project – Day 2”
Student Rep Adventures – Muppet Night!
This was the first event the student reps have organised this year! I was very excited about it, and really wanted it to go well! I made a poster: The night went so well. We had about 20 people who stayed behind – one first year, too! – and people bought snacks, hot chocolate, weContinue reading “Student Rep Adventures – Muppet Night!”
