Empty Holes

2012-02-13T15:34:00.000-08:00

Life can sometimes feel empty and confusing, as we try to fill in the many blank holes to have that sense of completion. The idea of a cut of brain represents a persons struggle to find that clarity.

Submission for SW4 exhibition, The Power of Four

2011-11-27T21:58:00.001-08:00

I passed the Two Brewers gay/cabaret nightclub in Clapham High Street, and saw a poster advertising four drag queens. This gave me the idea to recreate my own poster for the SW4 exhibition.

Power Of Making

2011-11-20T15:26:00.001-08:00

Making is the most powerful way we solve problems, express ideas and shape our world. What and how we make defines who we are, and communicates who we want to be. Power Of Making is a cabinet of curiosities showing works by both amateurs and leading makers from around the world to present a snapshot of making in our time.

The V&A and Crafts Council celebrate the role of making in our lives by presenting an eclectic selection of over 100 exquisitely crafted objects, ranging from a life- size crochet bear to a ceramic eye patch, a fine metal flute to dry stone walling.

The exhibition showcases works made using a diverse range of skills and explores how materials can be used in imaginative and spectacular ways, whether for medical innovation, entertainment, social networking or artistic endeavor.

The South Depths - Research

Wow my camera phone is not shockingly bad as i thought it would be. Any how this is just some small research I'm gathering for my next project. Should be fun!

'Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but i can look up and see the beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.'

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

2011-10-16T19:16:00.000-07:00

'And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,

And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted - nevermore!' - Edgar Allan Poe

The Love of Chocolates & Music

2011-10-04T07:56:00.000-07:00

A seductively talented artist brought me back a special Willy Wonka chocolate bar, in which i won a gold ticket! Her brother, also an engaging mastermind of illustration, took some pictures of me performing on his guitar as a result of my great fortune.

Thus the joy of chocolates and music is born!

The Postcard From Afar & My Tamagotchi 'Tank Face'

2011-09-29T19:53:00.000-07:00

The narration of a scene explored on the card, in which the postcard itself goes through a personal but desperate journey to reach out to a loved one.

I was thinking about the idea of a personal battle, the kind that we may experience with other people or even a conflict within ourselves. I decided to put this idea within the context of besieged soldiers, the notion of fighting against something and hoping for a resolution.

The use of mix collage to give the effect of a design overwhelmed with different objects was a concept that I really wanted to explore. There’s so much to say but so little space to say it, I used this opportunity to experiment with the composition of the drawing.

Figurative Scripple

2011-08-31T18:12:00.000-07:00

Authentic howling is a powerful, full-body event. As with any response to pain, it often involves vigorous body movements. This may include curling up, rocking, shaking, twitching, stretching, and writhing.

After looking for my pens for almost a year or so in the house! ;), I finally had the chance to get proper stuck in with some figurative sketches, so heres a few that i've done.

'Mind The Bush'

2011-08-31T02:27:00.000-07:00

This is my piece for the Open Doors brief that I'm going to submit. Its Shepherds Bush station but playing with the idea of surrounding bushes, grassy platforms, huts, and even sheep belonging to shepherds. I had a fun playing with few ideas

It's not dark yet but it's getting there'
