Pretty shitty

Hard at work.

I'm working on my leaflet on photoshop for my final piece now, but here's some more of my manual work that i'm using to make up the leaflet.

Summer Solstice...

May have been a little while ago and not the best weather but I did go to Summer Solstice at Stone Henge, even though we left before sunrise as we were soaked!

Before the rain.

Busy busy busy.

Been trying to catch up with so much work recently so haven't had a chance to upload it all until now, here's some of what I've been working on.

Some work from my new project.

Already filled one book for my new graphic design based project, so here's some of the best stuff.

A picture from the second shoot.

Taken by Leanne King.

2 photoshoots in 2 days.

This week two of my friends asked me to model for them for college/uni photography work.

The first was for my friend Emma doing AS photography at the same college as me, her project title was shine so she painted me and her boyfriend silver and sprayed glitter on us, put us in some old clothes and took some pictures in a setup in her house and more in a church graveyard with locals laughing and taking pictures of us!

Here are some of my favourite shots.





All taken by Emma MEAKIN :D

The second photoshoot I modelled for was for my friend Leanne King to do towards the first year of her photography degree, this was a 'hippie' themed shoot. We went to FCOT on Wednesday evening with almost half my wardrobe and one of her friends did my make-up while another helped with lighting etc.
I  haven't seen any pictures from this yet so for now i'm gonna put up some pictures of my AMAZING make-up by Natalia that I took when I got home.

Once I get some of the pictures from the shoot I will post them. x

Preserving human bodies for art :\

Doing research for my college project and I come across The Body Worlds exhibition by Professor Gunther von Hagens, he ha preserved human bodies using plastination and then positioning the bodies. I think that's just a bit weird :s 

Another project finished.

Today I put the finishing touches to my final board for the illustration project and handing in my coursework, fingers crossed for a distinction. :)

So here are some pictures of my final board, based on Cinderella from the book Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl.

Now we're starting a new graphics project based on the human life cycle, we have to choose part of it out of about 8 parts, like teenager and death, which I have chosen to research and then decide on one of these to continue the project with and eventually make a 6-sided leaflet based on it. I think I am going to choose death as my theme because I want to look at skulls and skeletons, maybe animals also. I would also like to look at what people think happens after death and create images based on this, like heaven, hell, reincarnation etc.

Push up yuh lighter

Trying out Mail2Blogger!

Just set up my Mail2Blogger so now I can post straight from my phone.
Might aswell upload my first summer picture, which I edited on my phone using PhotoStudio for blackberry. :)

Online computer drawing tool?

Found a website today called www.kleki.com it is an online computer drawing tool, tried drawing my first picture on it. Played around a bit and found a really cool brush wish I used to do the main part of the drawing.
As my hands aren't very steady it could take a lot of getting used to, but i'll be able to do it soon. :)

First attempt.

So, it's not amazing, oh well. Now i'm testing out editing a picture of my brother, will upload soon.

FDP - Fuck Da Police.

A painting by me, inspired by the riots.

Illustration project.

Our current project is called "It's illustration dahling" and it's my favourite so far, we had to choose a Roald Dahl story and base our illustrations on it. At the end of this year we have to choose one area to specialize in for the second year and i'm just trying to decide between fine art and illustration at the moment? Fine art will be more interesting and more what I'd want to do but illustration would lead into getting a job easier, if anyone is actually reading this, got any suggestions? 

So here's quite a bit of my work from this project :)
