Visual Diary – Fashion Police

Yesterday I was on FIRE. I just drew and drew and drew. This was a delight to draw: designing young, teenage Ludwig as shorter than Drake, with bigger, fluffy hair. Designing teenage drake as thin as a stick before he puts any muscles on after puberty. This is such a mind scramble, because this isContinue reading “Visual Diary – Fashion Police”

Visual Diary – Slush-EE Pink

Still in my Weird Science Phase. Got an absolutely game changing idea for the next illust. Also, please tell me why Antonia looks so good with the ridiculous uppity 80’s hair? Shit, I should have given her gaudy blue eyeshadow! Next time, next time.

Visual Diary – Sorry Fellas, She’s Mine.

More weird science AU work. I’m obsessed with Techo being as gay as the fourth of July but playing the part to teach Drake and Ludwig life lessons about themselves. And a good thing too, because Drake is wondering why he’s not feeling anything with his arm around a gorgeous woman. And why his heartContinue reading “Visual Diary – Sorry Fellas, She’s Mine.”

Visual Diary – They’re Lunatics,

but I’m going to have to go out there and join them, aren’t I? Going back to my roots and making art based on the principle, what will I actually enjoy making? How can I get my idea out with it feeling as little like a chore as possible? And the answer to that questionContinue reading “Visual Diary – They’re Lunatics,”

Damp – Mould and Emails

During the group tutorial, I saw that Alice had used monoprinting to create some of her background. It was effective in her piece, but it was perfect in terms of creating a dirty, mouldy atmosphere. Considering that some of my feedback was to find a way to make the mould more sinister, and to seeContinue reading “Damp – Mould and Emails”

Visual Diary – She’s Alive!

More Weird Science content. I’m actually loving this, having to pull myself away from it to keep doing Uni work. Absolutely loved working with this silhouette. I liked using the lighting from the shot (a famous one from the film) to create a really simple suggestion of depth and scene. This is still simmering gentlyContinue reading “Visual Diary – She’s Alive!”

Bookbinding – Scrap Fabric Sketchbook

I burst through the door of bookbinding at 4pm yesterday after a long day of working in the Studio and announced to Helen that I had to sew a text block immediately or I would explode. She had some good big offcuts I’d been waiting to use and throughout the afternoon I chipped away atContinue reading “Bookbinding – Scrap Fabric Sketchbook”

Damp – Opinions

I worked yesterday to get a shot of people voicing their opinions about the damp. Everyone likes to offer advice, and it all comes from a good place, but usually they’re repeating one of the very first things it’s logical to try. The audio will sync with peoples’ appearance on the screen, eventually layering toContinue reading “Damp – Opinions”

Visual Diary – Why are we wearing bras on our heads?

I watched Weird Science the other day when Mikey bought it round. Long story short, I’ve been listening to Weird Science by Oingo Boingo for months without realising it was a film soundtrack piece, so Mikey set the records straight with a screening. Everyone laughed when I said it was gonna be my new fixationContinue reading “Visual Diary – Why are we wearing bras on our heads?”

Visual Diary – I’m going out there.

Can’t wait to work one or two of these up into a little coloured thing. In late September, shortly before the court meet Drake, Mitzi takes everyone out in a rainstorm. Just to the road outside their house. The day has been close, and confusing, and tensions are personally running high. Everyone follows her out,Continue reading “Visual Diary – I’m going out there.”
