India



Keeping my eyes open for things to influence my third year projects, at the minute I seem to be obsessing a little over handmade patterns, I really have to crack on at making some myself.

Childrens books





I've decided to have another shot at the macmillan prize, i was unsure about doing it because I was worried I might approach it with too many ideas and be not so open to being experimental. But first I'm looking at a bunch of childrens books, I realised all the ones i loved when I was a kid were pretty dark, and its a shame we see fewer and fewer of these on the market, but anywho heres a few images I'm finding very inspiring. Today I'm just planning to do a bunch of sketchbook work and maybe loads of thumbnails of details I imagine in my story. I have a basic storyboard but I'm not the worlds most fantastic writer, so I find it way easier to show my ideas in images. So I'm making images, and someone else is writing my story, I don't think its cheating, I just want something nicely written and spelt correctly :)

Images are Anthony Browne- Gorilla , Kit Williams- Masquerade, Jim Housen and Richard Scarry

Fact animation.



Should have posted this sooner, but after handing in for assessment today (and feeling way better) I figured I'd get round to doing some stuff that needed doing. More posts when I get my work back.

Working with Lino Printing for the first time in about 3 years, it was lovely to free up my lines and make something more spontaneous. More details here.

So I am doing a project on Dementia. Creating a small book that explains the things that could happen to a dementia patient, to children and teenagers. I don't want to get too caught up in the science behind the disease, but more a guide to kids thats like "hey, this might happen, but your granddad is still the same person, and you can do these things to help".
Now I was originally going to approach this like a commission for the NHS, but after a tutorial have decided to be as free with it as I want, and then if the end product needs toning down, then I'll do that. But I think its pretty important to allow myself to free up as much as possible, seeing as i am a student and I should really take advantage of that.

Heres some pretty, inspirational pictures as always, sketchbook work to follow soon.
