CUP ARTIST. I really admire this work because it takes time and patience. there is such precision in all of the lines if one goes wrong then it changes the whole look of the illustration.

i came across these illustrations, i really love the image on the left as it is busy, vibrant and it reminds me of the wheres wally books i used to have, however the image on the right is a bit childlike and it brings down the other image which is quite sad because on its own the left image is very strong, but i am defiantly inspired by the bright colours.

I NEED MORE ARTISTS!!!!

Please can some one help i need some artists that relate to my work if any one has any ideas please comment on this post

Front cover

this will be my zine/artist book front cover the statue of liberty has been stitched on, i really like the way it has turned out especially when it has taken over 5 hours to sew. however at the moment i am debating weather to sew New York below it!

this is a photocopy of a photo, the reason that it is faded is because i had it raised a bit so the image now looks a bit old and warn. this was a very happy mistake

Police motorbikes

so this is the very beginning of my new project all about america, i have chosen new york as my main focus above is an image of some motor bikes i too when i was on a trip. I printed the photograph off and realised that the ink was running out (hence the green lines) i then started to draw the outline of the bikes and coloured them in before realising it i had created a really strong image

ARGHHHH

ok so for the past 4 weeks i have been struggling to put this McDonald's project together, so much so that i have been procrastinating and going on walks to draw trees, i mean what is that all about! so i felt as though i needed a new direction as i was sorting out my mac i came across my new york photographs and then it suddenly clicked! I am GOING to do a project all about my experience at new york. i will be creating a zine/artist book using first hand research i.e. my photos and i will be experimenting with different ideas, using different methods and cut and stick.

mcdonnalds chips

so i have been looking at fast food chains for my america project. I have an idea about making a paper model of a mcdonals to go with my idea about redoing the supersize me poster. I am amazed by the amout of people that have seen supersize me yet they still eat mcdonalds its pretty disgusting

American Project

when i think about america the first thing that comes to my mind is food! they have so many fast food chains and they always take it to the extreme!
