"Picturing Time" - Frozen Webs

After receiving feedback about the previous cuckoo-clock design, I was asked to go back to my sketchbook and work on the frozen web idea and use this as my final instead...

I ended up producing six new frozen web designs, allowing me to experiment along the way and chose the most successful as the final "picturing time" illustration.

 Later on, I made some of my favourite webs into Christmas cards:

"Picturing Time"

A very open brief to simply create an image that shows time. After many possible ideas I chose to design a cuckoo clock using the rotation of the seasons.

Ancient Tree Homes

I recently had a very vivid dream and woke with the urge to draw what I saw so I would never forget it! This is one of the scenes.

An enormous, ancient, shell of a tree where people once made their homes stands now abandoned in favor of a modern alternative-the semi-detached brick houses-built around it. The crows feel the structure is still good enough however and so still roost in its bare branches.

There was a few different types in the dream but the two i drew were the most memorable.

 

"British Firsts" Postage Stamps: Award winning Vegetables!

Brief: Celebrate the idea of 'firsts' and create stamps that inspire the nation whilst instilling national pride.

I chose to focus on British first-prize winners, and from this I chose to further narrow it down to award winning vegetables. I set out making various studies on vegetables that are frequently entered into competitions based on weight, length, best in show etc.
