I made a painting today, I had this idea in my head for months, so I woke up with the motivation to get on it. I have a vision for a second piece. At the pace I'm going it will be eons before I get around to doing it. It was more of a fun project because it resulted in a random mish-mash of blobs and sprays. Very messy business!

Lovely day for a picnic!

Spring has nearly arrived. The weather is getting warmer, warm enough to take a kip on the terrace and a hike up to the highest point in Hampstead Heath Park, one of Yunnie's fave spots in the city. Unfortunately, we forgot about one of the great joys of spring - mud!


Not sure why I was so drawn to this ugly mat underneath the water...

This muddy fellow's greeting left Yunnie and I a bit mucky.

Botching book design

I really dislike the short stories we have to design this 28-page book based upon. The stories were about an old lady being forcible removed from her home and dying, a blind woman who gets attacked and her head booted in, a girl killing a pet bird and the author going to a book signing and chickening out from handing over his manuscript.

Here are two of my cover ideas, which I am less than pleased about.
I went forth with the second.


The final result: Catherine, the tutor preferred the back cover and suggested I use it as the front and scrap the business at the front altogether.

Pick N Mix Part 1 - Design

I have been hard at work on our first Pick N Mix project - we chose a brief that we like the sound of between animation, interactive design, illustration, photography and design and have 2 weeks to complete it. Emilia and I did not realize it was a timely matter and there were limited spots for each brief, so we took our time deciding and ended up having to do the design brief due to immense popularity of the others. I explained the brief and my concept already on here, but alas this is the final product.





You will notice I have addressed them to a Mr. D. Johns in Aussieland.. wonder where I came up with that one...


What do you think?
