FMP Sneek Preview

A sneak preview of two illustrations created as cover and poster art for a comic book i am working on for my FMP at university. More information will be given upon the projects completion. 

FMP Development

Graphite, Biro, Water colour 

Illustration created leading up to my FMP for university. Iv'e been experimenting with this newly evolved style for a small series of designs for my final show. It's important that the illustrations are exicuted as quickly as possible and iv'e got them down to a day so i'm quite chuffed. I hope to illustrate a more linar group of illustrations in the forceable future.

Fabio Paolucci X Angelo Trofa Collaboration

Just finished the first of a short series of illustrations with mes amis Angelo Trofa. I adore his work so i was delighted when he asked me to collaborate with him for the 3rd issue of his magazine. I might post a black and white rendition of the work in the new year.

Experimenting with Form and Light

Iv'e taken the first step in evolving one of my everyday sketches into 'real life'. I'm quite content with the end result i think the image in my head has translated directly to paper. I had the idea of using high contrasts in the image as i believed that would bring out a special quality considering the form of the figure.

Carisma Logo Design

The logo i have designed for carisma utilises the mythical bird Phoenix as a direct metaphor for the charitie's ethos: ‘Life-Chances for Young People in the Community’.

The Phoenix is described as a bird with a colourful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet(colours interpret the linking together of working groups in the community under one voice). At the end of it’s lifecycle it builds itself a nest of

twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes (the ashes represent Moss Side, Longsight and other parts of inner south Manchester that have become known for drugs, gangs and street violence), from which a new, young phoenix (young phoenix refers to the young people that the charity is involved with) arises, reborn anew to live again (‘reborn anew to live again’ this reflects the new life-chances offered by the charity).
