I have never spent much time developing a character in my illustrations, so as we move towards the new year i thought i would try something new! I am developing a character who will be used in a narrative exploring the experiences of living with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). A number of people have taken part in this project so far- and some have sent me incredible writings about their experiences- which i will help me to develop the narrative. 
While i did this I listened to a podcast by Chris Oatley, a Disney character designer, and Will Terry, which was interesting and quite inspiring really! have a listen here.

Japanese artist with such a playful and fun style- very influential for me it terms of incorporating a similar aesthetic into graphic design projects. take a look at her incredible work! 
It's been a while since I spent much time in hospitals, considering I used to be there everyday for three years! Was back today with a good friend admiring the Christmas decorations and being sung at by mobs of small children... 
I'm currently working on a really exciting and BIG project with The woodcraft Folk, putting together a book that documents their five year TREE project. It is going to be really rich with imagery, photos and pattern. I want it to be the kind of thing that people will hold onto for a long time. At the moment I am at a kind of 'mood board' phase with it, playing around on pintrest and working with different patterns. I am very excited to start putting it all together! 
As the nights draw in and the weather gets colder, I present to you this wintery bear. A little snippet of a project i am working on currently!
 Recently finished some fun work for Newcastle based band Shift Static. They are fantastic, check them out. This image will be used in promotion for a gig they have coming up in Camden's Roundhouse in Febuary. |
