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”

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”
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 – I Said KNEEL.
Over the last 24 hours, music again has taken on that fantastic quality I need to make something completely new and inspired. Last time this happened it lasted for months, but I’m learning just to ride out the waves. This is Mitzi. Mitzi is a spoiled King in my Kingdom!Au, and is also the “King”Continue reading “Visual Diary – I Said KNEEL.”
Damp – Mould Texture Experiments
I would desperately like to talk about my process, but it’s 00:14 and Glad You Came by the Wanted is playing out of my phone speaker next to me, so this is no environment for articulate thought. Come on Eileen has started playing now. I searched “songs to take a long shower to” on spotify.Continue reading “Damp – Mould Texture Experiments”
Visual Diary – Knights, Stars
Something wasn’t clicking today. Maybe I was all arted out! Ideas for the next things to try will be drawing from life and figure drawing, maybe with ink because I’m loving how tactile and flexible it is.
Visual Diary – A Caucus Race!
I’ll exhaust myself with Alice in Wonderland eventually. Forward, backward, outward, inward, come and join the chase! Nothing could be drier than a jolly Caucus Race! Forward, backward, outward, inward, here we go again – No one ever loses And no one can ever win!
Damp – Character Development
I was unsure about what sort of detail to go into with the character, but I’m letting intuition guide me for once. This is what my heart wants to do! I took a look at the drawn characters from original Paddington, and through tearful eyes (he’s just so loveable, isn’t he?) I took photographs. IContinue reading “Damp – Character Development”
