loose goose

More images for fun.

Loosen up

I felt like I needed to just let loose with my drawing and not worry about the image to much, sometimes it feels like I'm being a bit restricted when I'm trying to make everything perfect. So here are a couple of images from my loosening up session.

They are part blind so I don't worry about if it comes out not looking quite right. But I quite like the character they have.

A Sneaky Peek

A sneaky peek of an image going into a new childrens book I have written called 'The Storm'.

It is hopefully being shown to publishers in London next week, I don't expect I will get a commission right there and then but I will be able to get some feedback from the people at the top which will great. I will keep you posted on the feedback I get.

Design a Jute

My entry into the clothing comapany seasalt 'design a jute bag'.
It wasn't chosen but good news for me I can make a t-shirt out of it now!

DUNE SHOES

'Shoe is Art' competition for Dune Shoes. I wouldn't usually upload images on my blog before the judges have seen them but the inbox is full and many people can not send in their imagery. This is just a way for someone to hopefully see them.

An adaptation of the other cards.

Christmas cards

My entries into the Shelter Box christmas card competition. I didn't win but it was very fun to do such a quick project. Take a look at the cards at http://www.shelterboxshop.org.uk/

Blind Bottle and Jars

Found these in the depths of my computer, simply a bottle and jars drawn without looking at the paper.

Damn scanner

I will be posting more soon, my printer has been playing up. I need to refill the ink and I haven't so it wont let me scan! Like me it needs to be fed before it can function. So sorry, and I'll get posting again soon.

Yet more vegatables

Yet more ideas for the grow your own at home.

Another idea for the book.

Radish

Possible imagery that would be in a new book idea.
The book would show how to grow food indoors and recipes along side.

Teacups

Another piece for the colourfull exhibition.

One of the images that is being shown at a colourfull exhibition, all the proceeds will go to CLIC Sargent, caring for children with cancer.

Petite maison

Interesting houses in Paris.

Golfer

I created this cheeky golfer for my Granddad's party invertations.

Rye

Some pretty houses in Rye, Sussex.

Hide and Seek

I came up with a book idea called 'Hide and Seek'. These two double page spreads would be part of one of the 'Hide and Seek' books, this one would be about finding insects in your backgarden/park. The idea is to get children out of the house and trying to get them intrested in nature. Each page comes with a make your own insect, a little tick list of the types of that insect you have found and a counter which would go towards a game.

Pride.

A few weeks ago I went to gay pride in Brighton, it was great fun with some amazing costumes. Here is just a few of them. Also I know I haven't kept up my promise of uploading every 3 days but there are four images here so it doesn't count, ok well maybe it does. I'll try harder to keep them coming. I dont usually get stuck for ideas of what to draw but if there are any suggestions I will happily take them on board.

Just a couple of little doodles. I was trying to play with the text intergrating with the image.

Another drawing of myself but this time in parts I didnt look at the paper. This is why one eye is double the size of the other! But I think it gives the image a bit more character.

So I thought I would try a self-portrait. When on location and in lessons my friends try to draw me and seem to get annoyed that they can’t my face is apparently 'undrawable'!
I thought I would try and prove them wrong and as most of you do not know what I look like, I could say this is a great representation of my face. But I have to be honest; this does not really look like me. Even though it seems I also can’t draw my own face it has been fun working with pencils again.I have been a bit slack with uploading; so from now on I will try to upload a piece of work at least every three days.

Tutu Teddy.
Made from a range of old clothes.

These images have been inspired by

Hiawyn Oram's poem 'In the Attic'.

I have created a childrens book using the text.

This is an image for an adult
narrative by J. G. Ballard. One day
he wakes up and seems to be the only
human alive.

Both of these are images for a project on flags.
I was given a random object to then create a
range of diffrent images using that object.

This is a rough for an AOI brief for the London Transport Museum,
The idea is to premote cycling in London, for the new Super Cycle Highways.
This still needs work, and bikes!

Sketchbook doodles

A few images from one of my sketchbooks.
