Yup, another WIP...

Sorry about the terrible quality of the photograph. I can't actually find my camera, so I'm using my phone. It's a lot brighter in real life.

Well, this is my final for one of my university rotations. It's supposed to combine fashion and an urban, grungey kind of look. It's also supposed to look like it's a grafitti design, which I think I managed to pull off, at least somewhat, lol.

Um, yeah... even though it's flat, it's a bitch to paint due to its scale and my limited space.

More WIP

I wanted to try another comic in a cute, cartoony style, since it's fun to do. I also thought I'd try working on something in A3. As yet, I'm unsure whether to go ahead with it as a comic, or to create a graphic novel/picture book, with an emphasis on typographic design...

Digestive Can

This is one of my images for a body parts project. It's fun working on drink cans, but I don't suggest drinking from it once it's been painted... I made that mistake earlier, it was nasty.

Andrew Foster Lecture

I attended a lecture by the illustrator Andrew Foster today. I wasn't really that interested in his work all that much, but it was a really great experience to hear him talk. He was very blunt about a lot of things, and I actually started to appreciate his work and the symbolism involved. A lot of it was blatantly sexual, and he said as much himself, but yeah... it was enlightening to hear a professional illustrator speak his mind about things.

New... again

Well, I lost the details to my other (new) account so I decided to start another, heh. I guess I should post a few images that I'm working on for a series of comics and possibly novels, called Alex in Merveilles. None of them are finished yet, but I've always been interested to see the process of an person's illustrations, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Well, the idea for the story is very much inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and involves a kid with a huuuge head looking for his dead brother in the Realm of the Imagination (yeah, South Park gave me that idea, I can't lie). And along the way he encounters some very odd people, including a sane Hatter and his rabbit-girl minder, and the Sisters of Fate, who seem determined to rope him in as the world's hero. Um... yeah, I'll not say anymore, heh.
