some stuff i've done as of late.

roll your eyes at this.

a little update really- some more paintings, a dumb pencil self portrait and one of the other things i did for my final piece last semester. trying to think of a subject for an artist book, its proving pretty hard...

self portraits are boring

but i had forgotten how much fun paint can be. just playing around with acrylics and drawing people who definitely arent me.

i hate your facial hair

My finished piece for enclose- a set of six greeting cards designed to help you tell your lover what you're really thinking. I tried to think of things people usually keep enclosed from their partner, things they wouldn't dream of telling them, then put it on a greeting card. As ridiculous as they are i wouldn't be surprised if you could actually get stuff like this already, i don't see why hallmark shouldn't capitalise on other's misery... ahem. These are packaged with envelopes anyway, done in biro's. It would be pretty neat to do a run of them or something...

sharing a bed.

Here is my first outcome for our 'four words' project. The project was to visually explore the words balance, support, enclose and disperse within a theme that we set ourselves. After a few (major) hiccups i settled on the theme of relationships, did a fair amount of work in my sketchbook and managed to come up with four different finished pieces. A lot of people I know have done their final pieces as a series (e.g. four books or four images) but i ended up with utterly different things, hopefully they stand alright on their own.


I finished making the feet/legs and took a series of images for balance. It is supposed to show the idea of balance in a relationship by looking at how people sleep; the images don't really do them justice, and I hope to do a stop motion with these soon because they have wire skeletons inside and bend and move like real feet.

get footfighted.

props for an animation that is most likely going to turn into a set of stills if i carry my lazy self on like this. either way, its about a couple in bed, for the part of my project on balance.

send the paramedics

miss hattie newman came in and did a 3D workshop with us. we had 24 hours to produce a 'world in a box' based around two adjectives and an animal. after hours of panic and moaning about having to make a lion i swopped with laurie and got a 'slimy, wrinkly nurse'...












she is made from old stuffing from my pillow, an old pair of tights, cotton, blue tack and spray paint.
