Community – The Muppet Christmas Carol

The first proper event we’re throwing as a group of student reps is the movie night on Thursday! I’m terribly excited about Christmas, and found some time to get a poster together for it. I printed one and then used Jeremy’s login to photocopy a few more posters. I’m looking forward to it! If everythingContinue reading “Community – The Muppet Christmas Carol”

Visual Diary – It is a bit Cosy, Isn’t it?

This image follows on from the bathtime scene I’m sure I blogged yesterday or the day before. Antonia tries to be suave, thinking “sharing a bath is surely a sexy thing to do!” Anyone who has ever tried to share a regular bath in a regular bathroom with a partner probably did it once, vowingContinue reading “Visual Diary – It is a bit Cosy, Isn’t it?”

Visual Diary – It’d Really Mess with my Image.

I struggle terribly with nausea. Every day I have to play the “will I be sick in public” game, which is really not fun. I’m never sick, but this is of little comfort to me in the moment. I’ve promised myself twenty pounds from my savings if I’m ever really sick, which, again, is littleContinue reading “Visual Diary – It’d Really Mess with my Image.”

Visual Diary – Hello There, Sexy!

This weekend has been non stop with wonderful Christmas family activities. And minor surgery. At the end of the night, I JUST about had time to scribble out some plot before falling into a coma. Drawn to make thoughts be on paper, not to look perfect. For context: Antonia and Mitzi have been together forContinue reading “Visual Diary – Hello There, Sexy!”

Visual Diary – See You at the Party, Drake! Muah!

More weird scienceposting. And what a niche to find myself in. Just another outlet to watch my characters love and be loved.

Damp – Final Video and Crit Notes

After three of the most intense weeks of work I’ve ever done in my life, Damp is finished. And I’m so proud of it! The overall mood in the crit was that this was a successful piece. Percy noted how effective it was to have Antonia as a brightly coloured digital asset on top ofContinue reading “Damp – Final Video and Crit Notes”

Visual Diary – Is Anyone Out There?

Whenever I listen to Data Loss by JKuch and Adam Tell, I always vividly see an animated music video of colourful legs wearing various laced shoes dancing, with fast cuts between the beats. The backgrounds change colour too. And in the second verse, I imagine the same images, but they’re increasingly interfered with and degradedContinue reading “Visual Diary – Is Anyone Out There?”

Lo Fi Printmaking – Print Tests

I wanted to run a quick print test, investigating whether a lino cut print would show up well on top of stencilled paint printing. I was dubious about this because right when I started lino printing years ago, I tried to hand print a two colour lino print. What I found was, the thickness ofContinue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking – Print Tests”

Lo-Fi Printmaking – Idea Development

So, I’m going to try my very hardest to illustrate the thought process that has led to my idea for a print. We start with some of my research, specifically William Nicholson’s woodblock prints. I was always interested in “D for Dandy”, thinking I could create a similar print but with different fashion I’m interestedContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking – Idea Development”
