I just wanted to make people who view my blog aware that someone has unfortunately used my identity as part of a internet scam!!!

I didn't want people to think my website/ blog were unsafe to view if they had any peculiar emails linking them to this site!

Hope that the issue gets sorted soon :)

Christmas Cards

2011-12-20T08:20:00.001-08:00

This year I decided to have a go at making my own hand cut Christmas cards!
Each card has a unique design, all incorporating the theme of nature.
I wanted to show a form of journey that runs throughout each card,
combining elegant swirls and organic plant forms. Big thanks to David Ruston for photographing these! http://www.davidruston.co.uk/

The Metamorphosis [un-conventional]

2010-11-17T14:58:00.000-08:00

Here is a series of posters I created for 'The Metamorphosis' brief.
I only used Gregor's speech within the second and third chapter for these posters.
The idea was to explore his speech through creative typography introducing certain
bits of colour to emphasize on his emotions.

Here is a conventional book I had created for the brief 'The Metamorphosis'.
I wanted to create something different that represented the main character 'Gregor', however not make it as obvious. I have hand stitched this with just a simple saddle stitch. And created a simple sleeve for the chapters to slot inside, securing it
with a simple belly band.

Here are close up shots showing my tip-ins to the book. The idea behind this book
was that Gregor was pushing out of a small space on the brown stock and the rest of
his family were normal size that were free on the bigger pages.

Y Magazine

2010-11-13T15:21:00.001-08:00

Here is a Magazine that I designed in a group project at uni. I worked with four other peers, working on this for 5 weeks. The magazine questions popular culture and discusses possibilities within the arts and cultured life we lead today.

Manifesto

2010-10-19T09:51:00.000-07:00

A project for uni based on our own manifesto. Mine was base on the idea of everyone 'switching off' once a month to appreciate how much much we rely on modern technology! You would receive one of these cards through your door once a month saying 'SWITCH OFF'.

Garden Arts Trail

2010-09-17T13:02:00.001-07:00

Here are photos taken from a garden arts trail that I took part in on the 11th September. The piece I created was written by English Poet Edmund Spencer and was called 'Garden of Adonis'. The idea was to re-create this poem in an exciting form, with the idea of putting the text back into it's surrounding's.

Eleven other artist's took place in this exhibition, hiding several pieces of their work that was situated in Scarborough's Woodend Cresent. The art trail was towards the developing project 'Chart Scarborough'. 'Chart Scarborough' is a project set up for you to explore the town in more depth, finding out the history and culture of the town. http://www.chartscarborough.com/

Type in the environment part 2

Here is the second part to my Type in the environment project. This phrase is taken from Anne Brontë's
'Agnes Grey'.

Typographic Installation

2010-02-22T15:35:00.001-08:00

Here is a typographic installation piece I created for ISTD, I have based the installation on the Bronte sisters, showing extracts from their books.

The piece represents the texts coming alive out from the books and being independent on it's own.

Would like to thank David Ruston http://david-ruston.blogspot.com/ and Simon Heaton for helping me set it up and help photographing the final outcome.

Here is a issue of a zine that I made based on the word 'hate'. The zine represents hate of the war and how it affects people and the environment in different ways. The zine takes you through a journey of surreal illustration showing my opinion on the topic.
