Hello!
I am exhibiting work at the Pharmacy of Stories in June, so feel free to come along. You can look at their website here.
I have also been working on a freelance project for a new company called CAN. I had to create over 30 illustrations to be used as profile pictures. You can read more about the project on my blog. Take a peek:
The anthology I have been working on at the London Print Studio has now been published! You can see a sneak peek of it here.
You’ll be able to see – and buy – copies of it at the Comic Exhibition at the London Print Studio, which runs from the 17th to the 25th of June. I will be showing exciting new pieces of work there too.
For more information about the Print Studio, call: (+44) 020 8969 3247
Mikey Please’s animation for “TV on The Radio” that I worked on has now been released!
The section I worked on begins at 5 mins 48 secs. Its called “Second Song”.
If any of you are free tonight, my super 8mm film Grandmother’s Bones is being screened alongside Tim Walker’s first short film The Lost Explorer… and it’s only the second time his film has been screened in the UK. I am more than just a little bit excited!
The event is taking place at the Rich Mix in London. Click here to find out more about the film screening.
You can read more about Tim Walker’s project in the Telegraph, here.
Below is a still from the film:
I am currently working as an Assistant on BAFTA award winning Mikey Please’s new animation for the band “TV on the Radio”.
It’s all very exciting. We spent today creating a set and making small props.
Check out Mikey’s website here.
Also, I know it’s short notice but tomorrow I am giving a short talk at “Laydeez Do Comics” at the Rag Factory in London.
It is at 6.30pm to 9.30pm. It’s a mere £1.50 entry and you get cakes and tea.
Have a peek at their website here.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve added any news. Here is the documentation of an art piece I made for “Them & Us”, the exhibition at the Rag Factory.
I’m planning on playing around with the footage a bit more:
This piece is all linked in to my reasearch for my “Once Upon A Time: The Taboo Par Excellence” Project (click here).
I made a cake face that members of the public were able to eat with their hands… although there was no sign or message instructing them to do so.
On the work front: I have just finished an internship at onedotzero, where I assisted them on the run up to their festival at the BFI. I’m waiting to start a comic internship with Karrie Fransman at the London Print Studio, which should be awesome!
My work will be exhibited in my Degree Show, Super Graphics, alongside my LCC classmates. It will run until the 1st of July and it is definitely worth a visit.
The piece I am showing is part of my Big Bad Wolf project. It is titled Elle avoit vu le loup, a phrase that implied in 1600s French Slang that a girl had lost her virginity. It literally translates to she had seen the wolf.
At the back of the wolf’s severed head is a TV screen showing a section of my super 8mm film on loop… Little Red Riding Hood is shown inside the wolf. The combination of fur and red fabric surrounding the screen is intended to hint at the sexual undertones.
“In myth and fairy tale, the metaphor of devouring often stands for sex” (Warner 1994:259)
The exhibition was reviewed by Adam Hayes, to read: click here.
I have finally got my website up and running! All thanks to Jon Hocking, whose work can be seen at jonhocking.co.uk
Just to keep you all posted, I recently finished my internship with Dandelion & Burdock. I worked with them to help film and edit footage to be used in a video DJ set in KOKO. It was for an event organised by Club NME and The Japanese Popstars.
We used inks to create colourful explosions in a tank of water and edited it in After Effects.
