New illustrations

I haven't uploaded anything in a while so here is an example of the latest work i have been doing. This, alike the other new pieces of work are based on phrases that i hear from day to day and make note of mixed with scrap images or drawings that i have laying around and putting them together in a way that they make sense.


I scanned it in to photoshop and and was messing around with colours. (Above is original, below is after inverting it, then messing around with its colour balance and vibrance.)

I don't know which i prefer.

More sketchbook pages

Pencils, ink and masking tape.

Small scale drawing

Some on location drawings i did down by the Ipswich docks. Each one is about 10x7cm. Kinda tricky drawing at such a small scale but still a good exercise. There are about another 10 drawings but i still dont have a scanner and taking photos of the majority of my work is a pain in the butt.

Running man

Yeah...

Dragonfly Z

Pretty unrelated to art but this is a dragonfly that flew into my kitchen last summer and hung out with me for a good 20 minutes or so. He even posed for a photo and i decided his name was to be 'Z'.

Rubber dub dub

I did this a while back in drawing class. It started out as an A3 piece of paper blackened by chalk and using a hard eraser as a pencil taking away from the black. It was pretty hard but to my surprise I got the proportions right, except for the sloping at the bottom.

Illustration: Sequential art part 2

Here is the other half of the sequential art project...






I did the whole thing based on 'Mail Art'. The decoration of envelopes and other bits of mail. Although never getting around to send the envelopes, it would have been the journey of each piece of work from point A to point B that makes it a sequential project.
