PARIS...

BEING A PARISIENNE FOR A WEEK

PHOTO'S AND PAGES FROM MY SKETCHBOOK FROM MY TRIP

BOOK COVER DESIGN

THE TASK WAS TO RE-DESIGN A WELL KNOWN BOOK TRILOGY. I CHOSE DR. DOLITTLE BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTERS I COULD CREATE AND THE FACT THAT IT ISN'T VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED. HERE ARE MY INITIAL DRAWINGS, WILL UPLOAD FINAL BOOKS WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED!

DRAWING A DRAWER

THIS WEEK I HAD TO TAKE A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF AN INTERESTING DRAWER IN MY HOUSE AND DRAW IT. I CHOSE MY MOTHERS DRESSING TABLE DRAW. TOOK AN ENTIRE DAY AND IS NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED! 

GRAPHITE & PENCIL

BOOK ART CONTINUED...

I FOUND THIS GORGEOUS BOOK IN A BOOK CHARITY SHOP, IT BROKE MY HEART TO CUT IT  UP BUT I FEEL I'M GIVING IT A SECOND AND DIFFERENT CHANCE AT BEING A PIECE OF LITERATURE (OR ART!)

 I FOUND THIS BOOK IN THE SAME PLACE. I LOVED THE COLOUR AND TEXTURE OF THE COVER AND ITS COMBINATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS MADE IT IDEAL FOR A PIECE OF ALTERED BOOK ART

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT! I USED THE CUT OUT PIECE FROM  THE COVER TO MAKE A MINIATURE BOOK FOR SKETCHING!

BOOK ART

WELL CHRISTMAS LEAVES NO TIME FOR AN ARTIST TO REST! 

MY HOLIDAY PROJECT WAS TO DECONSTRUCT AND RECONSTRUCT AN OLD BOOK INTO SOMETHING NEW.

 I BEGAN TO RESEARCH BOOK ART AND CAME ACROSS SOME REALLY IMPRESSIVE PIECES...
