Well well. The weekend is here, a week without work ahead. So it's time to play games, and create. I was doing both last night, the latter till about 2 in the morning. WELL anyway.. Below are some pictures of my work. Crap quality I know, but hey. The bottom one, is where the name for this blog came from (see, I keep my promises) the other one with planes on is another version of the same piece of work -They were for a brief in the first year of Uni, in which we had to redesign a spread of a 1937 college gazette. We could do anything we wanted - as long as original pistures and information stayed, I sort of went off on a tangant, and ripped apart magazines, favouring the hand made apporach to everyone else's computer made pieces. I still love these, they're framed on my wall right now. The top one is an illustration for my last uni project. Unlike my other collages, it was made Predominantly on the computer, so it looked cleaner, not much more different than the other illustrations in the magazine, (I gave myself 10 minutes to make this) It tells a story of a kayakling trip to the Kodiak Islands,home of the largest land preditor in modern times (The Kodiak Bear) The only thing that has actually changed was I lost the background, favouting for more white space in the magazine artical spread, just to make it look more dramatic, as are the views on the islands. The rest od the magazine spread MIGHT appear at a later date. Anyway, hope you enjoy this small glimpse into my work, and at some point this week there will be some photo's of my 1 of 1 CV poster series, and hopefully a mock up of my book I'm making with the work and experience's I had while interning at Walsh Simmons.
