Moths and Megan Frau

The First project for my second year at uni is on tailoring and over the summer we had to come up with a concept. At the moment I am greatly inspired by the artist Megan Frau who combines moths birds and other animals/ insects into her portraiture creating very textural pieces which have strong links to decay. 

I have previously looked at her work for my As portraiture project to the left is one of Megan's prints were as the right is my recreation

Any way, so for my tailoring project I am currently planing (this will properly change over the summer)  to work the patterns and texture of the moths and birds into the lining of my jacket, bellow is a drawing of a humming bird and two moths that I am later planing on turning into a repeat pattern. 

Skulls and roses: you've got me drawing again

So its 1am or there a bouts and i have just finished this drawing of the skull and roses. It's the first time i have actually sat down and drawn something for the sake of drawing in about a year, maybe longer, but its defiant the first time in over 3 years since I have worked in charcoal. Over all I am happy with how this has termed out, but i'll see how i feel after i've had some shut eye. 

under neath are a couple of photos of the drawing in different stages.....enjoy
