HAIRY TALES! Weeks 3 and 4 - Nexus Art Cafe



Well, over the past week and a half I have been so busy painting my Rhino for Rhino Mania (Wild in Art) that I've not been able to be a physical presence in Nexus but my research into hair has still been at the forefront of my mind.

My project seems to be growing and evolving the more I read and delve into this subject area. I'm currently reading Head to Toe by Joe Orton, have been looking at Rudyard Kipling stories and traditional fairy tales. I will be running a felt making workshop sometime in March (look out for the date on my blog) and this will be linked with story-telling and a sense of community and family.

Thanks to everyone who has so far participated in my Drawing Project, 'The Enchanted Box.' I have about 30/40 miniature drawings and I've been delighted, suprised and tickled by your drawings and thoughts on the theme Fairy Tales, please keep them coming...and I will be refreshing the supplies on tables in the cafe next time I'm in...

Make It in Design - Module 1 2016

Hello! It's been AGES since I posted. It has been a busy time and I decided to take some time to develop my portfolio, invest in my professional development and generally get a bit organised. I have just finished ABSPD Module 1, in which I have begun the journey of developing my characters and illustrations into surface pattern designs. The course is simply a MUST if you are considering a career in design. I can't recommend it highly enough. I will write in more detail later, but for now here is my piece for the typography competition that was open to module 1 alumni. I create character-led illustrations primarily for the greeting card and children's markets so my quirky character I drew for this piece compliments my style. I learnt how to layer up my work and create pattern repeats using Photoshop. Here's a link to the Make It In Design website www.makeitindesign.com
