ROBOT WORKS



















This guy builds robots out of old junk he finds in places. Each one’s over $1000. They’re beautifully made though. I’m doing this at the moment but not as well, and it’s to develop my drawings.

ROBOT HEAD

At the moment i’m working on a book, based loosely on the first chapter of Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man. This is a sketch of the robots head.

PDF MAGAZINES

MILKY CAT

I designed this to sit along the bottom of my emails, as a signature.

so if any of you lovely people are unlucky enough to get an email from me this chappy will be at the bottom

DIY ROBOT


bit rough, but fun

BUILD ME



This started out as doodle of cubes. playing with depth, trying to make the closer ones look closer. it worked well although i think it lacks the character of some of my other drawings, too neat.

. . . . . . . .



playing with distance, vastness, and marks.

Batman



lately i've grown a small obsession with batman. what i want to do now is get an old batman comic and re-illustrate it.

phenomenal cat grass


Added grass not sure if it works, but the cat n tree need something else- theyre in limbo

new look

hello

working alone



This is an illustration on the difficulty of creating and developing ideas alone. Although this is how i prefer to work, it would be good to collaborate, it may help push ideas further, and push me to work harder. but i have never found someone that i think i could work with well.

hav been meaning to draw this for a while, the lyric is from the kinks song Phenomenal cat from the album village green preservation society.

when i set out to do this image i wanted to make the cat truly PHENOMENAL, if i drew a regular sized cat sat in a tree, like cats do quite often, whats phenomenal about that? nothing.
so i made the cat huge and sit in the tree like an armchair

i was inspired to draw this after i got my student loan, i wanted to spend this money on something, so i walked around town for ages lookin for somethin fun to buy. but eventually i realized that i already had plenty, so i thought why not do something different with what ive already got, which is what i did with this drawing.

how you listen to music


I'm starting a new brief, which we have to write our selves. the basic idea of mine is how we listen to music, and how its changed over time, with technology, or maybe how different people listen to music and how it differs with the type of music.

finished illustrated booooook


This is one of the pages from the illustrated book ive been doing. it is developped from the image on the last post. i re-photographed it, and shot it in a bedroom, to give more of an idea of he story.


this was another section of the same book. i made it as a photomontage, much like david hockneys joiners, like below.

Goood Morning

Hey.
Im new to blogging! i started this blog to re
cord the progress of my work, and my research.

i will be posting drawings, research, thoughts and ideas as regularly as i like.

hmm, maybe i should say something about myself. well i'm 19 year old graphic design/illustration student. my work is mainly hand-drawn/made, not that i don't love computers, ive got a macbook!

well here's some of my workings.



The drawing above is a work in progress, for an illustrated book version of the film "night of the hunter"

in this drawing i just wanted to merge 2 styles of drawing.
