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.

deconstruct, reconstruct . . .

This was a project where we bought charity shop clothes -a grey polyester M&S skirt suit and a blue cardigan for me- and took them apart to remake them. I looked at Margaret Thatcher and the sense of rebellion and unrest that surrounded her leadership and the rise of Punk to inform my dress and cape. Originally there were going to be more obvious references to Punk but it simmered down into the use of safety pins to embellish and decorate.
