GRANDAD BOOK

CHRIST. Here is the pitiful group of drawings/collages i'm handing in tomorrow as my 'Summer Project'. The project title was 'How I Got Here', in which we had to create work that tells our third year tutor how we got to do the type of illustration we do. So i thought of making two books - a Nan book and a Grandad book, as my Nan has always been a seamstress and makes things - i like sewing and using fabric etc, and my Grandad collects things as do I etc.

Yet in true GLT style, i left this to the last minute and havn't finished the Nan book so i shall only be handing in Grandad. POO.

A BIT MORE...

Here's a sneak peek of my Grandad Book. I've tried to set it out like a vinyl because my grandad is the biggest Elvis fan probably in the whole of the UK, if not Tottenham. The end pages, which you can just see a bit of, are made from this really old note paper i got from a charity shop ages ago - good find. More on it's way tomorrow.

SUMMER PROJECT...A TEASER

Here is one of the books i've made for my Summer Project. Still have more to finish and upload (in a week) and i will explain what it's all about when i'm all done and dusted...

NEW SHOES

so - after a very long time without buying shoes for ages i'm starting to get out of hand and i don't even have my loan yet. the top ones are brand new from office and the bottom ones are from river. done.

RHODES

these are a few fisheye photos from my holiday in lindos, rhodes. i didn't realise i had the orange film in till after i put in the new roll - bit annoyed cos the real colours would have looked better, but i don't mind these that much. REAL UNI WORK COMING SOON.

EBAY AND I

i've been really lazy recently and hardly done eff all apart from work, but here is the beginning of me getting my arse into gear. i'm parting ways with some clothes, shoes and accessories which i'm selling on eBay and even a fifa 10 that i'm selling on play trade...desperate times call for desperate measures. but this is a promise and a kick in the right direction, i've been working on some collages which i will soon upload and some other drawings, but for the mean time - have a butchers at my eBay stuff.

DRAWINGS

so these are just some collage drawings i made when bored. click the 'bible' one for a better, more detailed look as it looks a bit pixelated. over and out.

STITCH DRAWINGS

these are a few examples of some stitch drawings i made for my last brief at uni. they're based on some of my primary school memories which are mainly bad :( the first one alone took about 8 hours, so as per usual, i didn't give myself enough time. they're all hand stitched and have paper/fabric stitched on them.

PERFUME BOOK COVER

it's 2:44am and i've just finished this cover. on a saturday night. i literally used the page out of my sketchbook for the cover and scanned in my hair for the back. there's a few tatty bits but this'll do.

ALICE BOOK COVER

so 3 hours later and i've done this. i think martini will be offended by the garish colours and type but this'll have to do.

THE START OF BOOK COVERS

back in november i had a brief which was to read the books 'alice's adventures in wonderland' and 'pefume' and then make a book cover for each of them. after catching severe viral gastroenteritis from wood green kebab centre, i missed a week and a half of uni and therefore working on this brief. i should have really caught up during the christmas break, maybe even the easter one but i'mlazy and stupid so i'm trying to finish it all now in time for my assessments. so these are some initial collage drawings of the mad hatter and queen of hearts. i hate book covers and have no idea where to start...FML.

LOVELY BOOKS

some of my favourite books.

EMMA COOK SHOES

finally! emma cook shoes found and bought on ebay...now i only want the pink pair as well and that's me done. for now.

I CAN BE A FREAK...

these are a few more 'freaks' i've drawn. now need to get them screen printed in less than 3 weeks. poo. i don't really like hairy mary but i'm running out of time!
