more method

in memory of ali graney

Over the summer, Ali Graney, illustrator, colleague and friend to UCLAN and also my first year tutor sadly passed away from a very short illness and it was a shock to us all. This little drawing of two of her characters is my tribute to her. In her memory, there will be an exhibition in the Victoria building lobby at UCLAN. Previous students and friends of Ali's will be donating pieces for it. They will be up for sale and the money will go towards the Macmillan Cancer Trust.

The memorial exhibtion will be held sometime next week (I will update this when I know of a definite date), please come down and visit.

Drawings for an artists book I'm working on.

art and design launch night; a shout out to all creatives!

A friend of mine is organizing a FREE night on the 13/12/12 in the Self Made gallery in Bench in the Northern Quarter, Manchester. It is for anyone studying art, design, graphics, illustration, fashion etc or just the young and creative in general. It's a chance to display your work and network with like minded  people. If you are near the Manchester area or study a creative degree at any university in the North you should definitely get involved, free publicity!

I will have some of my work up on the night. If you want to take part you can find more information and contact details on the Facebook event here.

The deadline to get you work up is 5/12/12!

one hundred philosophers

A response to a short two week brief. The title is pretty self explanatory!

how are you

For my latest brief, I wanted to see if illustration could improve people's daily commute. I myself commute for an hour and a half on the train to uni so I can relate to this subject. I think if someone sees something in the morning that cheers them up or make them think, it can affect their mood for the rest of the day.

I created a series of three zines and dispensed them on trains and snuck them in the metro newspaper over the course of three days. The documentation of my process can be seen on a side blog here.

I also compiled images from all three zines into one bigger zine so if there is enough interest I may sell them online!
