Visual Diary: Carrying On

There is an explanation for all this. This is right after they’ve cooked for the household. Techo insisted she wanted to stay up downstairs, and asked that they watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The boys concede. Techo immediately falls asleep, and Ludwig carries her upstairs. They’re not invested in the film today. They begin toContinue reading “Visual Diary: Carrying On”

Visual Diary – My Tits are Freezing Off.

Playing with colours. Playing with face shapes and drawing tools. This is stiff. It is not flooby, but all drawing is progress! This art was inspired by a 1750s magenta coat (worn here by Mitzi) sent to me on Instagram. I searched for more 1750s fashion and found a wonderful riding outfit.

Paddington – Meeting with Roderick 2

Roderick was excited by the video! This is interesting progress with me, as although I haven’t wrested complete control over my creative practice, I can now look at something I’ve made and tell if it has that mysterious magic. I’ll call it flooby magic. At a talk today, I felt that familiar feeling of beingContinue reading “Paddington – Meeting with Roderick 2”

Paddington – Maquette

There’s a better word for whatever this is. Mock, idea spoot. Probably not idea spoot. Watching my hands make this was utterly interesting. It was one of those activities where I have a picture in my head, a time frame for getting it across, and I just have to find some way of evidencing movementContinue reading “Paddington – Maquette”

Visual Diary – Welcome to Starbucks

My hand is being pushed to make more reels, since it’s the reels that are getting the views. One that’s doing consistently well now has 26,000 views and 5,000 likes! Always good to practice quickly manipulating moving image.

Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho

Phil has talked to me about kitchen litho before, so it was quite fun closure to get to do a workshop on it with him. A lot of the illustrators I’ve talked to that were in the workshop or have done this module didn’t like kitchen litho much at all. I really quite enjoyed theContinue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho”

Task 2 – Final Video Essay

I enjoyed making this piece overall. It was a blessing and a curse that we had so little time to do it – I would lean on the side of blessing. This is because it’s such a short word count that if I’d had any longer I would probably have overthought it, made too muchContinue reading “Task 2 – Final Video Essay”

Lo-Fi Printmaking: Composition Ideas

I picked what I thought was the most successful pose and colour combination, and mocked up a series of different compositions. To get a few fresh pairs of eyes, I showed these images to a few people. The majority of people liked the first image, which is my favourite too. One person did like theContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: Composition Ideas”

Paddington – Meeting with Roderick

I found Roderick in the little staff cave at the top of the stairs, and after nearly fainting on him with how breathless I was from the stairs, he arranged to see me at 11. The notes he had on my storyboard were thus: What I’m going to do before seeing him again on Friday:Continue reading “Paddington – Meeting with Roderick”

Butterfly Man – Day One

I signed myself up for the Broadcast and Documentation team. On my team is Niamh, Joe, Rory and Tia. I learned their names! I’m slowly learning everyone’s names! For our group, we created notes and then a mood board. We created an Instagram account for the project, @ thebu_tterflyman . Tia was right on itContinue reading “Butterfly Man – Day One”
