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. 

cross my heart and hope to die

I have been experimenting with some imagery for a little side project I have planned for after the easter holidays.It's not much at the moment and I'm still just experimenting with the basics of illustrator. But don't be a frayed to let me know what you think.

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  

The Last Dance: Dress and Photo shoot

The final outcome for my college FMP you can see my sketchbook work hear which has details on the themes of the project. The dress took me many hours with 4 layers to the bodice and 4 to the skirt. But i wont go in do detail hear on how i made it or what I have done to all all the layers. 

Instead, hear are some photos, in the top 2 I am wearing the dress, were as in the rest my wonderful friend rachel is modeling them for me. 

hope you enjoy

The Last Dance. pt 1.

So "The Last Dance" is the tittle for my final major project at college. I am making a bodice and skirt around the theme of the ballet. However, I will also be looking at “decay" and how things evolve and disintegrate over time. 


Basically for your "FMP" you can do what ever you want, you just have to cary out lots of research and experiment lots making shore you do everything you say you will in your statement of intent. 

some of the pages in my sketch book. Still got a long way to go though.
