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,”

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!”
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.”
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.”
Visual Diary – The Court
A self indulgent doodle on top of some colourful seaside homes. The household that Techo, Mitzi and Ludwig live in becomes known as the Court once Antonia joins the crew and it makes all five of them. I love the idea of blending my universes with their modern reality. When they move into a second,Continue reading “Visual Diary – The Court”
Visual Diary – Sonnet 29
Outfit inspiration taken from Court Jester outfits. In the Kingdom!Au, Mitzi is King and Antonia is a jester – so the dynamic of Mitzi kneeling to kiss Antonia’s hand has me absolutely reeling.
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!
Visual Diary – Mugs
Based on my glazed mugs today, And made my double page spread!
