Commission Round Up

Here's just a few bits I did for people since I last posted. Regular posting will commence shortly.

A very fine band by the name of She's A Beauty asked me to do an image for thier EP Copy And Paste and a poster for the launch gig for thei track Too Much Confusion.

For the website humourisms.com I've done a few web comics.

I really have to up date this more.

So that commission I did a while back is featured in a nice little YouTube video. Cafe Chill is an ongoing client and I will hopefully be collaborating with them again soon.

One of my recent collage assignments was particularly awesome in it's concept. We were given a list of songs that had a narrative to choose from. I went with "Me and Bobby McGee" by the ever tragically cool Janis Joplin.

So what follows is my sketch of the page, followed by my inks and topped off with colouring pencil. I'm quite proud of the end result while simultaneously disappointed that I have yet to establish a solid work ethic. This, like the previous assignments was done at very much the 11th hour so doesn't really live up to it's potential.

By the gods I will strive to act like a professioh my god Angry Beavers is on Netflix!

 And here's the pencil to ink stages cause I'm still learning to do short posts. Due to time constraints there are no sketches for the last three pages.

Botanical Studies

Artists statement

For this assignment on botanical studies I will be investigating compositions dealing with ivy and other creeping plants. The theme of this series will deal with the cycle of decay and reclamation by nature. 

To affect this theme, my compositions with show ivy and other plants growing in, around and on man made objects and structures. A depth of field will also serve to draw the viewer in and achieve a sense of journey which equates to the passage of time. The compositions will attempt to replicate spirals and circles to ground the image in the theme  of life cycles.

The environment will be a garden and broken down walls and houses. When a house is left vacant, inevitably plant life will seek to occupy the area. Even in a house that has residents, man battles to keep order and standardization on that which is in essence natural chaos.

While these environments are outside of the botanical gardens, they none the less are applicable to location of study. The Botanical Gardens is the embodiment of striving to impose control over the natural progression of nature.
