Zine!

After a pretty hectic assignment set to draw 100 people (in a week) we got back to college and were told to put together a zine. I was grouped up with Anna who drew 100 chairs and Jo who did 100 typefaces (which to mix things up were all rubbings of words).

this is the zine we put together, it has no name, there's hardly a narrative or any sense to it so i don't think it deserves a name!

Screen Printing

We've been doing some inductions into screen printing at college and here are some of the outcomes. Its a great way to work, the end product looks so much more professional than anything you could achieve by hand and its great to be able to just churn out copies! This one was a group effort so we all contributed to the pictures of food and drink. I've got a copy on the wall in the kitchen, I think it would make a pretty good tea towel design...

This is my own image or Barbara Windsor in her Carry on days! I think its turned out really well with the photographic background (her body) and the stylized hair and her bikini!

Lets hope there's more to come!

F*cker bus

I've just been cleaning out all the rubbish on my mac and stumbled across this photo. I took it in Prague on my travels in 2007. Beauty.

We're Dead Famous.

We're having a houseparty for halloween. The theme involves dressing up as a famous person as they would look now they are dead. suggestions welcome. And this is the invite/flyer I made, i think it kind of sums up the zombie celeb idea pretty coherently.

Tiny weeny house

We got set a summer project by college to introduce ourselves, it had to be A4 and we could use any medium we liked. This is what happened.

So, I'm not entirely sure how two random men sat in a little white paper house drinking tea says about me but it just feels right.

A few more snappy snaps

Here's a few more photos from the canon FT. College is in full swing now in Bath but we've done little else than talk about the meaning of a biro and the colour blue... But tomorrow we get our induction to use the darkroom, wehey!

The pumpkin. Beautiful and green.

Summer snaps

I bought myself a 1960's canon FT off ebay for a bargain so I've been having a bit of fun over these balmy summer months! Its a bit of a tank but I'm told the weight is an advantage in reducing blur when the shutter moves. I'm not sure if the quality will translate so well on a screen but here you go. Its a joy using real film and I love the grainy and more real quality. I like how the light bursts in some of the photos come out really geometric!

Little birdies at Tropical world. Not sure what happened with the light but I'm loving the blue and orange bursts of colour, the birds look like they're on fire!
