If only....

A lecture poster - if we could invite anyone. This is the first in what I hope to be a series.... Paper shapes and hand-made stencil type.

Prints

Some screenprints of a pattern originally designed by artist Sonia Delaunay. I intend to make a 2D dress using this pattern and photograph someone wearing it for an imaginary lecture poster. Thanks to Joe (1995) for helping me loads with the printing! 

FUNdraising!

The poster for FUNKY FREEDOM: a fundraiser that I have organised to raise money for our London exhibition in April. Fresh!

get well soon dave!

Dave on our course was involved in a ruckus last weekend in Bath and was unfortunately hospitalised. So I rounded up the troops and had 15 people make a letter each to be used in our performance for a card. This was the result: A lovely card for Dave! He is much better now.

Newbridge

My latest work - I have been designing artwork for trip hop duo Newbridge's album. The idea was to create a scene that encapsulates a feeling of 1920's style, mixed with modern aspects. I made the radio using cardboard, it's about 5ft tall! I then photographed it in a studio, using lovely purple gels over the flash, and my secret weapon, the sparkle glasses, over the camera lens. The type was all letter-pressed by hand.

Fred Butler!

Over the Christmas break I had the pleasure to spend some time in Fred Butler's studio, in Angel, helping her with some ongoing projects, including pieces for her new collection, to be featured in London Fashion Week 2009. Fred is an accessories and prop designer, making colourful and unusual pieces used in photoshoots and worn by musicians like Patrick Wolf. I made lots of things, including pompoms inspired by licorice all sorts (as seen above). My time with Fred allowed me to peek into life as a designer in London, not to mention to meet some successful and creative people, like Judy Blame, to visit scary places like Dalston market (!) and fun spots like the Double Bar. I also had the pleasure of being with Fred during her radio debut, where she spoke to Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 for his 'good day bad day' feature! Fred is very inspiring, and it was lovely to meet her and to see how she works on a day to day basis.
