a sketch a day backlog . . .

I started my 'a sketch a day' project way back when I was getting my portfolio ready for interviews but since getting a place at Westminster and what with all the hassle of the final major project . . . Well, lets just say that I let it slip. I've just realised that I hardly uploaded any of the drawings from that project so I'll keep posting them.
Here are a few of my favourite fashion illustrations:





All illustrations done in pencil, black fineliner and water colour.

galaxy t-shirts . . .

There has been a recent trend for galaxy print clothing and as most of it is extortionatelyly priced, we  -that's I, my sister and Damien- have decided to make and sell our own. We've named our clothing company and Vacant Echo and our galaxy t-shirts will hopefully go on sale sometime next week.

I was a bit bored this morning and did what started out as a doodle and tuned into quite a nice little illustration.



I'm really not sure why but I have a disproportionate amount of trouble drawing feet and shoes -they make me so mad!

final major project (part 3) . . .


Right, so here is the last of my final major project posts! All the work has been marked and the exhibition has been open for a few days already. I was given a corner space in which to show my work but I was quite worried that I didn't have enough work to fill it as I chose to make a film rather than do photographs, in the end though I think it turned out nicely.



 I combined designing a collection with pretty collaged illustrations.

home made photography . .

These photos were taken with a machbox pinhole camera I made myself a little while ago and I absolutely love the results! It was so easy to make and the only downside is that somewhere along the line I messed up the spacing so that when the film was developed the people in Boots cut most of the pictures in half which is a shame, next time I'll make sure to be more precise.






The red and white streaks down the side of the photos are the product of a light leak somewhere in the camera, although I actually quite like this effect I'll try and find the gap and tape it up for the next roll of film.

lovely little creatures . . .


Here are a few little drawings of mine, I can just draw animals for hours on end and now that college is pretty much finished I can sketch away to my heart's content.










I am thinking of using these drawings as screen printing designs for bags and t-shirts.
