Desk of the Day 29/03/14 - Angry and Lumpy

It's been a long time since I did some illustrations just for fun, so today I'm having fun playing about with Illustrator and Photoshop. This illustration features two of my favorite subjects, can you guess what they are?

I just have to complete the background on this picture then it'll be ready to share with you guys.

Nature Rebranded Designs

I thought it was about time I showed you this term's work. You can see more of my uni work here.

My shoe designs this term have been based around the idea of rebranding nature - taking a natural object and making it man made. This term has been really exciting. We got to make our first ever shoe!

As you can see my final shoe was heavily inspired by rock formations. The idea was to create a man made rock formation as the platform, but to cover it in one solid colour to contrast with the natural texture of the platform.

Here's the mood board and designs for my final shoe, I'll be posting pictures of the shoe next week.

Desk of the Day 23/03/14 - A Rainbow of Russian Dolls

I've finished uni for the Easter Holidays now, so I'm finally getting a chance to paint again! Today I'm working on some fun and bright Russian Dolls.

 

Etsy Love - Frozen

I've been itching to blog about frozen for a while now, and what better way to do it than make an Etsy treasury?
I am officially OBSESSED with this film, not only is it full of awesome messages, but it's also really funny and has a great soundtrack. I don't think we've gone a day without singing "Let it Go" or "Do ya wanna build a snowmaaaan?" in this house since watching the film. I'll also happily admit to watching it three times within one week.
