animation test

Tried my hand at animation for my Connectivity project. I haven't really got any experience in animation but I think it turned out okay! I may end up doing some more because it was pretty fun.

Okay, embedding the video didn't work so here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4uxV9kIYIo

HUGE sketch dump

Firstly, some pages that will hopefully end up in a second issue of our zine 'Patent Pending' that we worked on last year, on the continued theme of inventions:And now a shedload of shots from my Connectivity sketchbook, which I have kept mostly to myself so far:Whew!

big scroll thing

Was working on this for a while, as part of a terrifyingly huge brief on the theme of Connectivity and how things relate to one another. It is an 8-metre scroll featuring both a microcosmic and macrocosmic narrative centred around two people and the interpersonal communication between them, as well as wider communcation networks.
I won't post the whole thing (because I can't think of a good way to do that) so here are some highlights:
And here it is rolled out fully in front of an enthralled gathering of admirers:

Life Drawing

Since most of the stuff I post on here is heavily stylised and conceptual, I thought it might be fun to show the products of the life drawing classes I've been taking in the past 3 weeks so you can see how it looks when I work directly from observation!


These were all done with charcoal. I may actually take better quality photos of these at some point.
